7 a“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give bto eat from cthe tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’
The Persecuted Church
8 “And to the1 angel of the church in Smyrna write, ‘These things says athe First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life:
9 “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are arich); and I know the blasphemy of bthose who say they are Jews and are not, cbut are a synagogue of Satan.
10 aDo not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. bBe faithful until death, and I will give you cthe crown of life.
11 a“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by bthe second death.” ’
The Compromising Church
12 “And to the1 angel of the church in Pergamos write, ‘These things says aHe who has the sharp two-edged sword:
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.
