 Read Chapter 3 Chapter 3:7-13: The message written to the church in Philadelphia:

New American Standard Version of the Bible`Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie--I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you. 10`Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11`I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12`He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. 13`He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'   Revelation 3:9-13 (NAS)

According to Revelation 3:9, Jesus continues to tell this congregation in the city of Philadelphia that the people that are of the "synagogue of Satan" who lie (in this case, claiming to be Jews when they are not) will be made to come and worship before their feet...so they will know that Jesus has loved this church.

Question:

According to Revelation 3:11, Jesus tells them to do what so that no one can take their crown?

Accept Those Who Lie Just Believe Hold Fast


Other Translations - Revelation 3:9-13

Easy-to-Read Version of the BibleListen! There is a synagogue (group) that belongs to Satan (the devil). Those people say they are Jews, but they are liars. Those people are not [true] Jews. I will make those people come before you and bow at your feet. They will know that you are the people I have loved. 10You followed my command to endure patiently. So I will keep you from the time of trouble that will come to the whole world. This trouble will test the people who live on the earth. 11"I am coming soon. Continue the way you are now. Then no person will take away your crown (reward).  12The person that wins the victory will be a pillar in the temple of my God. I will do that for the person that wins the victory. That person will never again have to leave God's temple. I will write the name of my God on that person. And I will write the name of the city of my God on that person. That city is the new Jerusalem. That city is coming down out of heaven from my God. I will also write my new name on that person. 13Every person that hears these things should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. (ERV)
