8 To the Angel of the Church of Smyrna write:
These are the Words of Him
Who is the First and the Last,
Who Died and Came to Life Again.
9 I Know your Afflictions and your Poverty--
Yet you are Rich!
I Know about the Slander
Of those who Say they are Jews
And are Not,
But are a Synagogue of Satan.
10 Do Not Be Afraid
Of what you are About to Suffer.
I Tell You,
The devil will Put Some of you in Prison
TO TEST YOU,
And you will Suffer Persecution for Ten Days.
BE FAITHFUL,
Even to the Point of Death,
And I will Give you Life
AS YOUR VICTOR’S CROWN.
11 WHOEVER HAS EARS,
Let him Hear
What the Spirit says to the Churches.
THE ONE WHO IS VICTORIOUS
Will Not Be Hurt At All
By the Second Death.
(Revelation 2:8-11, NIV)
