To the Church in Philadelphia

To [the] angel of the church in Philadelphia write:

These [are] the words of the [One who is] holy [and] true, who holds the key of David. What He opens no one can shut( except Him who opens) and no one can open.[fn]

8 

I know your deeds. Behold, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut [I know that] you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and vvv have not denied My name. 9 As for [those who belong] to the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews [but] are liars instead, vvv I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will know that I love you.

10 

Because you have kept My command to persevere, vvv I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 I am coming[fn] soon.[fn] Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 The [one who] overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and vvv vvv vvv he will never again leave [it] Upon him I will write the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from My God), and My new name.

13 

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
