Revelation 2:8 in Context — Revelation 2

6 Mas tienes esto, que aborreces los hechos de los Nicolaítas; los cuales yo también aborrezco.

7 El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice á las iglesias. Al que venciere, daré á comer del árbol de la vida, el cual está en medio del paraíso de Dios.

8 Y escribe al ángel de la iglesia en SMIRNA: El primero y postrero, que fué muerto, y vivió, dice estas cosas:

9 Yo sé tus obras, y tu tribulación, y tu pobreza (pero [tú] eres rico), y la blasfemia de los que se dicen ser Judíos, y no lo son, mas [son] sinagoga de Satanás.

10 No tengas ningún temor de las cosas que has de padecer. He aquí, el diablo ha de enviar algunos de vosotros á la cárcel, para que seáis probados, y tendréis tribulación de diez días. Sé fiel hasta la muerte, y yo te daré la corona de la vida.
