OET (OET-RV) I’ll come quickly. Hold firmly to what you have so that no one can take away your crown.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἔρχομαι ταχύ
˱I˲_/am/_coming quickly
The implication is that Jesus is coming quickly to judge people for whether or not they have remained faithful to him. You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I am coming quickly to judge”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
κράτει ὃ ἔχεις
/be/_taking_hold_of what ˱you˲_/are/_having
Alternate translation: “Continue doing the things that are to your credit”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
ἵνα μηδεὶς λάβῃ τὸν στέφανόν σου
in_order_that no_one /may/_take the crown ˱of˲_you
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the verb that is negative in this context, take. Alternate translation: “so that you will indeed have your crown”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὸν στέφανόν
the crown
See how you translated crown in 2:10. Alternate translation: “your reward”
3:11 Christians must hold on; they must persevere in difficulty so they will not lose their crown, their expected reward.
