9‘I knowG3609 your 1tribulationG2347 and your 2povertyG4432 (but you are 3richG4145), and the 4slanderG988 by thoseG3588 who 5sayG3004 they are JewsG2453, and are not, but are a synagogueG4864 of 6SatanG4567. 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 7testedG3985, and you will haveG2192 tribulationG2347 8for tenG1176 daysG2250. 9Be 10faithfulG4103 untilG891 deathG2288, and I will giveG1325 you 11the crownG4735 of lifeG2222. 1112The one who hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the churchesG1577. 13The one who overcomesG3528 will not be hurtG91 by the 14secondG1208 deathG2288.’
12“And to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in 15PergamumG4010 writeG1125:

13‘I knowG3609 whereG4226 you dwellG2730, whereG3699 17Satan’sG4567 throneG2362 is; and you holdG2902 firmlyG2902 to My nameG3686, and did not denyG720 18My faithG4102 evenG2532 in the daysG2250 of AntipasG493, My 19witnessG3144, My 20faithfulG4103 oneG4103, whoG3739 was killedG615 amongG3844 you, 21whereG3699 SatanG4567 dwellsG2730.
