Thematic Bible: Of the congregation at smyrna

And to the messenger of the church of the Smyrnians write; Thus says the first and the last, who was dead and he lived; I know thy works, and pressure, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and the blasphemy of them saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but the synagogue of the adversary. Neither be afraid of what things thou art about to suffer: behold, the accuser is about to cast of you into prison, that ye might be tried; and ye shall have pressure ten days: be thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.
