^8 (A)“I know your works. See, I have set before you ^(B)an open door, ^[a]and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

⁹ For ^(A)a great and effective door has opened to me, and ^(B)there are many adversaries.

^3 (A)meanwhile praying also for us, that God would ^(B)open to us a door for the word, to speak ^(C)the ^[a]mystery of Christ, ^(D)for which I am also in chains,

The Faithful Church

⁷ “And to the ^[a]angel of the church in Philadelphia write,

‘These things says ^(A)He who is holy, ^(B)He who is true, ^(C)“He who has the key of David, ^(D)He who opens and no one shuts, and ^(E)shuts and no one opens”:

Triumph in Christ

¹² Furthermore, ^(A)when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and ^(B)a ^[a]door was opened to me by the Lord,

²⁷ Now when they had come and gathered the church together, ^(A)they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had ^(B)opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

¹³ I can do all things ^(A)through ^[a]Christ who strengthens me.

¹³ “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

⁹ But he who ^(A)denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
