This phrase is a direct command to the church in Smyrna, encouraging them to remain steadfast in the face of impending persecution. The exhortation to "not fear" is a common biblical theme, seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/41-10.htm">Isaiah 41:10</a> and <a href="/matthew/10-28.htm">Matthew 10:28</a>, where believers are reminded of God's sovereignty and presence. The context here is one of imminent suffering, a reality for early Christians who often faced hostility from both Roman authorities and local populations.Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, This statement highlights the spiritual dimension of the persecution, attributing the source of their trials to the devil. It reflects the biblical understanding of spiritual warfare, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/6-12.htm">Ephesians 6:12</a>. The mention of prison indicates a literal and severe form of persecution, common in the Roman Empire, where Christians were often imprisoned for their faith. The purpose of this testing is to refine and prove the genuineness of their faith, similar to the testing of Job.and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. The "ten days" is often interpreted symbolically, representing a limited period of intense trial. In biblical numerology, the number ten can signify completeness or a full measure, as seen in <a href="/daniel/1-12.htm">Daniel 1:12-15</a>, where Daniel and his friends are tested for ten days. This period of tribulation serves as a reminder that while suffering is inevitable, it is also temporary and under God's control.Be faithful even unto death, This call to faithfulness unto death underscores the ultimate cost of discipleship. It echoes Jesus' teachings in <a href="/matthew/16-24.htm">Matthew 16:24-25</a> about taking up one's cross and following Him. The early church often faced martyrdom, and this phrase serves as both a warning and an encouragement to remain steadfast, drawing strength from the example of Christ's own sacrificial death.and I will give you the crown of life. The "crown of life" is a promise of eternal reward for those who persevere. This imagery is consistent with other New Testament passages, such as <a href="/james/1-12.htm">James 1:12</a> and <a href="/1_peter/5-4.htm">1 Peter 5:4</a>, where crowns symbolize victory and eternal life. In the cultural context of Smyrna, a city known for its athletic games, the crown would resonate as a symbol of triumph and honor. This promise assures believers that their faithfulness, even unto death, will be rewarded with eternal life in Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_church_in_smyrna.htm">The Church in Smyrna</a> One of the seven churches addressed in the Book of Revelation, located in a city known for its wealth and pagan worship.

In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.">John 16:33</a>). He never conceals the difficulties or dangers of His service. (See <a href="/context/matthew/10-16.htm" title="Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the middle of wolves: be you therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.">Matthew 10:16-31</a>; <a href="/acts/9-16.htm" title="For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.">Acts 9:16</a>.) So here He proclaims, "Behold, the devil shall cast some. . . ."The devil.--The LXX. translation gives this name to Satan, regarding him as the "accuser." (See <a href="/job/1-6.htm" title="Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.">Job 1:6</a>; <a href="/context/zechariah/3-1.htm" title="And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.">Zechariah 3:1-2</a>; and comp. <a href="/revelation/12-10.htm" title="And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brothers is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.">Revelation 12:10</a>, where he is described as the "accuser of the brethren.") . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/revelation/2.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 10. - Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer. We must bring out the difference between "to be about to" (μέλλειν), in the first two clauses, and the simple future (ἔξετε) in the third; compare "I will show him how many things he must suffer for my Name's sake" (<a href="/acts/9-16.htm">Acts 9:16</a>). The devil, who inspires the "synagogue of Satan," is to be allowed to afflict them, as he afflicted Job. (For "behold," see note on ver. 22.) The expression, "some of you" (ἐξ ὑμῶν), is an interesting link of style between this book and the Fourth Gospel and the Second Epistle; we have a similar construction in <a href="/john/1-24.htm">John 1:24</a>; <a href="/john/7-40.htm">John 7:40</a>; <a href="/john/16-17.htm">John 16:17</a> 2John 4. (For a warning of like import, but to the persecutors, not the persecuted, comp. <a href="/matthew/23-34.htm">Matthew 23:34</a>.) That ye may be tried. The common meaning of πειράζειν, as distinct from δοκιμάζειν, is here conspicuous; it is "to try" with the sinister intent of causing to fail. But what is temptation on the devil's side is probation on God's side (comp. <a href="/1_peter/4-12.htm">1 Peter 4:12-14</a>). Ten days. It is unwise to make anything either mystical or rigidly literal out of the number ten, which here is probably a round number. The question is whether the round number denotes a small (<a href="/genesis/24-55.htm">Genesis 24:55</a>; <a href="/numbers/11-19.htm">Numbers 11:19</a>) or a large number (<a href="/numbers/14-22.htm">Numbers 14:22</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/1-8.htm">1 Samuel 1:8</a>; <a href="/job/19-3.htm">Job 19:3</a>). The former seems probable. It is not impossible that some analogy between their case and that of the "four children" (<a href="/daniel/1-12.htm">Daniel 1:12, 15</a>) is suggested by the ten days' probation. Be thou faithful unto death; literally, become thou faithful; show thyself to be such (γίνου πιστός). Note how completely the angel of the Church is identified with the Church. In this one verse we have complete mixture of the two modes of address: "Thou art about to suffer... some of you... ye shall have... I will give thee." "Unto death" does not merely mean "to thy life's end," but "even if fidelity involves death;" compare "becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross" (<a href="/philippians/2-8.htm">Philippians 2:8</a>). The crown of life. The Authorized Version, by ignoring the article ("a crown of life"), sadly detracts from the meaning. It is the well-known crown, the crown which is truly such, in contrast to earthly crowns, and perhaps with a special reference to the crowns given at Smyrna to the priests of Dionysus at the expiration of their year of office. The word στεφανηφόρος has been found in inscriptions at Smyrna in this connexion (comp. <a href="/james/1-12.htm">James 1:12</a>, where the same phrase occurs; also <a href="/1_corinthians/9-25.htm">1 Corinthians 9:25</a>; <a href="/1_peter/5-4.htm">1 Peter 5:4</a>). Excepting <a href="/revelation/12-3.htm">Revelation 12:3</a>; <a href="/revelation/13-1.htm">Revelation 13:1</a>; <a href="/revelation/19-12.htm">Revelation 19:12</a> (where we have διάδημα), στέφανος is the regular word for "crown" in the New Testament. "Of life" is the genitive of apposition; the life is the crown, just as in "the Word of life" (<a href="/1_john/1-1.htm">1 John 1:1</a>) the life is the Word. It is impossible to determine whether St. John has in his mind the crown of a king, of a victorious athlete, or of a triumphant warrior. The XII. Tables provided that he who had won a crown might have it placed on his head when his dead body was carried in the funeral procession. St. John, both at Rome and in the East, would have seen this ceremony, possibly in the case of a crowned priest at Smyrna. "The crown of life" would be the exact opposite of that. The narrative of the martyrdom of St. Polycarp draws to a close with these words: "Having by his patience vanquished the unjust ruler, and having thus received the crown of immortality," etc. The writer seems to have had <a href="/revelation/2-10.htm">Revelation 2:10</a> in his mind. <a href="/commentaries/revelation/2-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>{Do} not Μηδὲν (Mēden) Adjective - Accusative Neuter Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3367.htm">Strong's 3367: </a> No one, none, nothing. fear φοβοῦ (phobou) Verb - Present Imperative Middle or Passive - 2nd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_5399.htm">Strong's 5399: </a> From phobos; to frighten, i.e. to be alarmed; by analogy, to be in awe of, i.e. Revere. what ἃ (ha) Personal / Relative Pronoun - Accusative Neuter Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_3739.htm">Strong's 3739: </a> Who, which, what, that. you are about μέλλεις (melleis) Verb - Present Indicative Active - 2nd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3195.htm">Strong's 3195: </a> A strengthened form of melo; to intend, i.e. Be about to be, do, or suffer something. to suffer. πάσχειν (paschein) Verb - Present Infinitive Active <a href="/greek/strongs_3958.htm">Strong's 3958: </a> I am acted upon in a certain way, either good or bad; I experience ill treatment, suffer.
