²⁰ In that day I will call my servant ^(A)Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, ²¹ and ^(B)I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your sash on him, and will commit your authority to his hand. And he shall be ^(C)a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. ²² And I will place ^(D)on his shoulder ^(E)the key of the house of David. ^(F)He shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. ²³ And I will fasten him ^(G)like a peg in a secure place, and he will become ^(H)a throne of honor to his father's house. ²⁴ And they will hang on him the whole honor of his father's house, the offspring and issue, every small vessel, from the cups to all the flagons. ²⁵ In that day, declares the Lord of hosts, ^(I)the peg that was fastened in a secure place will give way, and it will be cut down and fall, and the load that was on it will be cut off, for the Lord has spoken.”

To the Church in Philadelphia

⁷ “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of ^(A)the holy one, ^(B)the true one, ^(C)who has the key of David, ^(D)who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens.

⁸ “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you ^(E)an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. ⁹ Behold, I will make those of ^(F)the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, ^(G)I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that ^(H)I have loved you. ^10 (I)Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try ^(J)those who dwell on the earth. ^11 (K)I am coming soon. ^(L)Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize ^(M)your crown. ^12 (N)The one who conquers, I will make him ^(O)a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him ^(P)the name of my God, and ^(Q)the name of the city of my God, ^(R)the new Jerusalem, ^(S)which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own ^(T)new name. ^13 (U)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
