Revelation 3:8-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
8 I know your works[a]. Behold— I have given before you an opened door[b] (which, no one is able to shut it). Because[c] you have a little[d] power[e], and you kept My word, and you did not deny My name, 9 behold— I am giving some[f] from the synagogue of Satan, the ones saying that they are Jews (and they are not), but they are lying. Behold— I will make them so that they will come and worship[g] before your feet, and they may know that I loved you. 10 Because you kept the word of My[h] endurance, I also will keep[i] you from[j] the hour of testing, the hour going-to come upon the whole world to test the ones dwelling upon the earth[k].
