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 8slander by those who 9say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of 10Satan. 10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, so that you will be 11tested, and you will have tribulation 12for ten days. 13Be 14faithful until death, and I will give you 15the crown of life.
