The Faithful Church

⁷ “And to the ^[a]angel of the church in Philadelphia write,

‘These things says ^(A)He who is holy, ^(B)He who is true, ^(C)“He who has the key of David, ^(D)He who opens and no one shuts, and ^(E)shuts and no one opens”: ^8 (F)“I know your works. See, I have set before you ^(G)an open door, ^[b]and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. ⁹ Indeed I will make ^(H)those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed ^(I)I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. ¹⁰ Because you have kept ^[c]My command to persevere, ^(J)I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon ^(K)the whole world, to test those who dwell ^(L)on the earth. ^11 [d]Behold, ^(M)I am coming quickly! ^(N)Hold fast what you have, that no one may take ^(O)your crown. ¹² He who overcomes, I will make him ^(P)a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall ^(Q)go out no more. ^(R)I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the ^(S)New Jerusalem, which ^(T)comes down out of heaven from My God. ^(U)And I will write on him My new name.

^13 (V)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
