Message to Philadelphia

7 “And to the angel of the church in aPhiladelphia write:

bHe who is holy, cwho is true, who has dthe key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this:

8 ‘aI know your 1deeds. Behold, I have put before you ban open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and chave not denied My name.

9 ‘Behold, I 1will cause those of athe synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—I will make them bcome and bow down 2at your feet, and make them know that cI have loved you.

10 ‘Because you have akept the word of bMy 1perseverance, cI also will keep you from the hour of 2dtesting, that hour which is about to come upon the whole 3eworld, to 4test fthose who dwell on the earth.

11 ‘aI am coming quickly; bhold fast what you have, so that no one will take your ccrown.

12 ‘aHe who overcomes, I will make him a bpillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the cname of My God, and dthe name of the city of My God, ethe new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My fnew name.

13 ‘aHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
