Revelation 3:10-12
EasyEnglish Bible
10 I have told you to be patient in this difficult time. You have obeyed what I told you. Because of that, I will keep you safe from the time of great trouble that will come. This trouble will come to everyone who lives in the world. It will show me what each person is really like.
11 I will come soon.[a] Continue to obey my message that you already know. Then nobody can take away your crown which is God's gift to you.[b]
12 Everyone who wins against Satan will be safe in God's house. I will make them like a strong pillar in the temple of my God. They will never leave that place again. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of his city. The name of that city is the new Jerusalem.[c] It will come down from heaven. My God will send it down to the earth. I will also write my new name on those people.
