'I know where you live, where the throne of Satan [is]. And you hold fast to my name and did not deny your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan lives.

'I know your works, and your love, and faith, and service, and patient endurance--and your last works [are] greater than the first.

If anyone [is going] into captivity, into captivity he goes. If anyone [is] to be killed by the sword, by the sword he [is] to be killed. Here is the patient endurance and the faith of the saints.

Here is the patient endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith in Jesus.
