Then to the angel of the church at Smyrna write thus: ??These are the words of the First and Last, who was dead and came to life: I know your distress and your poverty (but you are rich!): I know how you are being slandered by those who style themselves Jews (no Jews are they, but a mere synagogue of Satan!).

Always be ready with a reply for anyone who calls you to account for the hope you cherish, but answer gently and with a sense of reverence; see that you have a clean conscience, so that, for all their slander of you, these libellers of your good Christian behaviour may be ashamed. For it is better to suffer for doing right (if that should be the will of God) than for doing wrong.
