Revelation 2:8-11

Christian Standard Bible

The Letter to Smyrna

⁸ “Write to the angel of the church in Smyrna: Thus says the First and the Last,^(A) the one who was dead and came to life: ⁹ I know your^[a] affliction and poverty, but you are rich. I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.^{(B) 10} Don’t be afraid of what you are about to suffer. Look, the devil^(C) is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will experience affliction for ten days.^(D) Be faithful to the point of death,^(E) and I will give you the crown^[b] of life.^(F)

¹¹ “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will never be harmed by the second death.^(G)
