Revelation 2:9-13

9‘I know your 1tribulation and your 2poverty (but you are 3rich), and the 4slander by those who 5say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of 6Satan. 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 7tested, and you will have tribulation 8for ten days. 9Be 10faithful until death, and I will give you 11the crown of life. 11 12The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 13The one who overcomes will not be hurt by the 14second death.’

12“And to the angel of the church in 15Pergamum write:

The One who has 16the sharp two-edged sword says this:

13‘I know where you dwell, where 17Satan’s throne is; and you hold firmly to My name, and did not deny 18My faith even in the days of Antipas, My 19witness, My 20faithful one, who was killed among you, 21where Satan dwells.
