The Letter to Philadelphia

7“Write to the angel of the church in Philadelphia:

“The Holy One, the True One, cthe One who has the key of David, who opens and no one will close, and closes and no one opens dsays: 8I know your works. Because you have limited strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name, look, I have placed before you an open door ethat no one is able to close. 9Take note! I will make those from the •synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews and are not, but are lying—note this—I will make them come and bow down at your feet, fand they will know that I have loved you. g10Because you have kept My command to endure, hI will also keep you from the hour of testing ithat is going to come over the whole world to test those who live on the earth. j11I am coming quickly. kHold on to what you have, lso that no one takes your crown. m12The victor: I will make him a pillar nin the sanctuary of My God, and he will never go out again. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God—the new Jerusalem, owhich comes down out of heaven from My God—and My new name. p

13“Anyone who has an ear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.
