Philadelphia, The Favored Church
The King James Version
Address to The Church of Philadelphia: Revelation: 3: 7-13
- 7.And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These
things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
- 8.I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open
door, and no man can shut it; for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
- 9.Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which
say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
- 10.Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon
all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
- 11.Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
- 12.Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him
the name of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
- 13.He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
