Revelation 2:9-13
9‘I know your 1tribulation and your 2poverty (but you are 3rich), and the blasphemy by those who 4say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of 5Satan. 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 6tested, and you will have tribulation 7for ten days. 8Be 9faithful until death, and I will give you 10the crown of life. 1111He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 12He who overcomes will not be hurt by the 13second death.’
12“And to the angel of the church in 14Pergamum write:
The One who has 15the sharp two-edged sword says this:
13‘I know where you dwell, where 16Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny 17My faith even in the days of Antipas, My 18witness, My 19faithful one, who was killed among you, 20where Satan dwells.
