Revelation 2:9-13
9‘I knowG3609 your 1tribulationG2347 and your 2povertyG4432 (but you are 3richG4145), and the blasphemyG988 by thoseG3588 who 4sayG3004 they are JewsG2453 and are not, but are a synagogueG4864 of 5SatanG4567. 10Do not fearG5399 whatG3739 you are aboutG3195 to sufferG3958. BeholdG2400, the devilG1228 is aboutG3195 to castG906 some of you into prisonG5438, soG2443 that you will be 6testedG3985, and you will haveG2192 tribulationG2347 7for tenG1176 daysG2250. 8Be 9faithfulG4103 untilG891 deathG2288, and I will giveG1325 you 10the crownG4735 of lifeG2222. 1111He who hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the churchesG1577. 12He who overcomesG3528 will not be hurtG91 by the 13secondG1208 deathG2288.’
12“And to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in 14PergamumG4010 writeG1125:
The One who hasG2192 15the sharpG3691 two-edgedG1366 swordG4501 saysG3004 thisG3592:
13‘I knowG3609 whereG4226 you dwellG2730, whereG3699 16Satan’sG4567 throneG2362 is; and you holdG2902 fastG2902 My nameG3686, and did not denyG720 17My faithG4102 evenG2532 in the daysG2250 of AntipasG493, My 18witnessG3144, My 19faithfulG4103 oneG4103, whoG3739 was killedG615 amongG3844 you, 20whereG3699 SatanG4567 dwellsG2730.
