Revelation 2:10-11

2:10 Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. The devil is about to have some of you thrown into prison so you may be tested, and you will experience suffering for ten days. Remain faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown that is life itself. 2:11 The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will in no way be harmed by the second death.’


tn Grk “is about to throw some of you,” but the force is causative in context.

tn Or “tempted.”

tn Or “experience persecution,” “will be in distress” (see L&N 22.2).

tn Grk “crown of life,” with the genitive “of life” (τῆς ζωῆς, th" zwh") functioning in apposition to “crown” (στέφανον, stefanon): “the crown that consists of life.”

tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”
