8“And to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in 1SmyrnaG4667 writeG1125:
2The firstG4413 and the lastG2078, whoG3739 34was deadG3498, and has comeG2198 toG2198 lifeG2198, saysG3004 thisG3592:
9‘I knowG3609 your 5tribulationG2347 and your 6povertyG4432 (but you are 7richG4145), and the 8slanderG988 by thoseG3588 who 9sayG3004 they are JewsG2453, and are not, but are a synagogueG4864 of 10SatanG4567. 10Do not fearG5399 whatG3739 you are aboutG3195 toG3195 sufferG3958. BeholdG2400, the devilG1228 is aboutG3195 toG3195 throwG906 some of you into prisonG5438, soG2443 thatG2443 you will be 11testedG3985, and you will haveG2192 tribulationG2347 12for tenG1176 daysG2250. 13Be 14faithfulG4103 untilG891 deathG2288, and I will giveG1325 you 15the crownG4735 of lifeG2222. 1116The one who hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the churchesG1577. 17The one who overcomesG3528 will not be hurtG91 by the 18secondG1208 deathG2288.’
