¹³ “‘I know where you dwell, ^(A)where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not ^(B)deny my faith^[a] even in the days of Antipas ^(C)my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

⁹ “‘I know your tribulation and ^(A)your poverty (^(B)but you are rich) and the slander^[a] of ^(C)those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. ¹⁰ Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, ^(D)that you may be tested, and for ^(E)ten days ^(F)you will have tribulation. ^(G)Be faithful ^(H)unto death, and I will give you ^(I)the crown of life.

⁸ But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for ^(A)members of his household, he has ^(B)denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

^11 (A)I am coming soon. ^(B)Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize ^(C)your crown.

⁸ “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you ^(A)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 ^(B)the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, ^(C)I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that ^(D)I have loved you.

²⁰ And when the blood of Stephen ^(A)your witness was being shed, ^(B)I myself was standing by and ^(C)approving and ^(D)watching over the garments of those who killed him.’

^12 (A)Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who ^(B)keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.^[a]

^3 (A)Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, ^(B)I will come ^(C)like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.
