Letter to Philadelphia: An Open Door and a Promise of Protection

Revelation 3:7-13

3
Chapter 3
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says the Holy One, the True One, the one having the key of David, the one opening and no one shuts, and shutting and no one opens. 8 I know your works—behold, I have given before you an opened door, which no one is able to close—because you have little power, and you kept my word, and you did not deny my name. 9 Behold, I give from the synagogue of Satan those saying they are Jews, and they are not but they lie—behold, I will make them come and worship before your feet, and they will know that I loved you. 10 because you kept the word of my endurance, and I will keep you from the hour of the temptation that is about to come upon the whole inhabited world, to tempt those dwelling upon the earth. 11 I am coming quickly. Hold what you have, so that no one takes your crown. 12 The one overcoming, I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never go out again. And I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, the one descending out of heaven from my God, and my new name. 13 The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
