Revelation 2:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

The Message to Smyrna

⁸ ‘And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of the first and the last, who was dead and came to life:

⁹ ‘I know your affliction and your poverty, even though you are rich. I know the slander on the part of 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. Beware, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have affliction. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
