| 8 | 'To the angel of the church at Smyrna write: '"These are the words of the First and the Last, who was dead and came to life again: | The Message to Smyrna Re.2.8-11 | Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Σμύρνῃ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· Τάδε λέγει ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἐσχατος, ὃς ἐγένετο νεκρὸς καὶ ἐζησεν· |
| 9 | I know how hard pressed you are, and poor - and yet you are rich; I know how you are slandered by those who claim to be Jews but are not - they are Satan's synagogue. | Οἶδά σου τὴν θλῖψιν καὶ τὴν πτωχείαν, ἀλλὰ πλούσιος εἶ, καὶ τὴν βλασφημίαν ἐκ τῶν λεγόντων Ἰουδαίους εἶναι ἑαυτούς, καὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν ἀλλὰ συναγωγὴ τοῦ Σατανᾶ. | |
| 10 | Do not be afraid of the suffering to come. The Devil will throw some of you into prison, to put you to the test; and for ten days you will suffer cruelly. Only be faithful till death, and I will give you the crown of life. | μηδὲν φοβοῦ ἂ μέλλεις πάσχειν. ἰδοὺ μέλλει βάλλειν ὁ διάβολος ἐξ ὑμῶν εἰς φυλακὴν ἵνα πειρασθῆτε, καὶ ἑξετε θλῖψιν ἡμερῶν δέκα. γίνου πιστὸς ἀχρι θανάτου, καὶ δώσω σοι τ ὸν στέφανον τῆς ζωῆς. | |
| 11 | Hear, you who have ears to hear, what the Spirit says to the churches! He who is victorious cannot be harmed by the second death." | ὁ ἐχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. ὁ νικῶν οὐ μὴ ἀδικηθῇ ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου τοῦ δευτέρου. | |
