I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where the throne of satan is: thou maintainest my name, and hast not renounced your faith in me, even at a time when Antipas my faithful martyr was slain among you, where Satan dwells.

your charitable offices, your faith, and your patience, and that your last works exceed the first.

he hath leadeth into captivity, shall be led into captivity: he that killeth with the sword, shall perish by the sword. here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
