Revelation 3:7–13

To the Church in Philadelphia

⁷“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia^r write:

These are the words of him who is holy^s and true,^t who holds the key of David.^u What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. ⁸I know your deeds.^v See, I have placed before you an open door^w that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.^{x 9}I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan,^y who claim to be Jews though they are not,^z but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet^a and acknowledge that I have loved you.^{b 10}Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you^c from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world^d to test^e the inhabitants of the earth.^f

¹¹I am coming soon.^g Hold on to what you have,^h so that no one will take your crown.^{i 12}The one who is victorious^j I will make a pillar^k in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God^l and the name of the city of my God,^m the new Jerusalem,ⁿ which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. ¹³Whoever has ears, let them hear^o what the Spirit says to the churches.
