Revelation 2:2-10

2I know all about your deeds and your toil and your patient endurance, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. You have tested those who call themselves emissaries and are not, and have found them to be liars.

3You have perseverance and have endured for My name’s sake, and you have not grown weary.

4“But this I have against you, that you have forsaken your first love.

5Remember then from where you have fallen. Repent and do the deeds you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your menorah from its place—unless you repent.

6“Yet you have this going for you, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach is saying to Messiah’s communities. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the Tree of Life, which is in the Paradise of God.”

8To the angel of Messiah’s community in Smyrna write: “Thus says the First and Last, who was dead and came to life.

9I know your tribulation and your poverty (yet you are rich), as well as the slander of those who say they are Jewish and are not, but are a synagogue of satan.

10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, so that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
