Because you have kept my word of patient endurance, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
In context
8I know your works. Look, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9Look, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who call themselves Jews and are not, but are lying — look, I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. 10Because you have kept my word of patient endurance, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one takes your crown. 12The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never leave it again. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
