Revelation 2:8-11

Tree of Life Version

Smyrna: Do Not Fear Satan’s Testing

⁸ To the angel of Messiah’s community in Smyrna write: “Thus says the First and Last, who was dead and came to life. ⁹ I 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. ¹⁰ Do 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. ^{[a] 11} He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach is saying to Messiah’s communities. The one who overcomes shall never be harmed by the second death.”
