Revelation 2:10-11

Context
2:10 Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. The devil is about to have some of you thrown 1  into prison so you may be tested, 2  and you will experience suffering 3  for ten days. Remain faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown that is life itself. 4  2:11 The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers 5  will in no way be harmed by the second death.’

1 tn Grk “is about to throw some of you,” but the force is causative in context.

2 tn Or “tempted.”

3 tn Or “experience persecution,” “will be in distress” (see L&N 22.2).

4 tn Grk “crown of life,” with the genitive “of life” (τῆς ζωῆς, th" zwh") functioning in apposition to “crown” (στέφανον, stefanon): “the crown that consists of life.”

5 tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”
