I have known thy works, and where thou dost dwell -- where the throne of the Adversary is -- and thou dost hold fast my name, and thou didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was put to death beside you, where the Adversary doth dwell.

I have known thy works, and love, and ministration, and faith, and thy endurance, and thy works -- and the last are more than the first.

if any one a captivity doth gather, into captivity he doth go away; if any one by sword doth kill, it behoveth him by sword to be killed; here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

Here is endurance of the saints: here are those keeping the commands of God, and the faith of Jesus.'
