Revelation 2:8-10

8“And to the angel of the church in 1Smyrna write:

2The first and the last, who 3 4was dead, and has come to life, says this:

9‘I know your 5tribulation and your 6poverty (but you are 7rich), and the blasphemy by those who 8say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of 9Satan. 10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be 10tested, and you will have tribulation 11for ten days. 12Be 13faithful until death, and I will give you 14the crown of life.
