11. I’m coming soon. Hold on to what you have so that no one takes your crown.
12. As for those who emerge victorious, I will make them pillars in the temple of my God, and they will never leave it. I will write on them 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. I will also write on them my own new name.
13. If you can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

18. My advice is that you buy gold from me that has been purified by fire so that you may be rich, and white clothing to wear so that your nakedness won’t be shamefully exposed, and ointment to put on your eyes so that you may see.
19. I correct and discipline those whom I love. So be earnest and change your hearts and lives.
