³² To everyone, then, who gives witness to me before men, I will give witness before my Father in heaven.

⁵ He who overcomes will be dressed in white, and I will not take his name from the book of life, and I will give witness to his name before my Father, and before his angels.

⁸ Have no feeling of shame, then, for the witness of our Lord or for me, his prisoner: but undergo all things for the good news in the measure of the power of God;

⁹ Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:

¹⁰ For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with the mouth he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation.

¹⁵ Everyone who says openly that Jesus is the Son of God, has God in him and is in God.

²² They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.

⁸ And I say to you that to everyone who gives witness to me before men, the Son of man will give witness before the angels of God.

⁹ But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God.

³⁰ For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.

¹³ I have knowledge that your living-place is where Satan has his seat: and you are true to my name, and were not turned away from your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my true witness, who was put to death among you, where Satan has his place.

¹² Be fighting the good fight of the faith; take for yourself the life eternal, for which you were marked out, and of which you gave witness in the eyes of all.

¹³ I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,

³⁴ Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:

⁴⁶ So that I may give knowledge of your unchanging word before kings, and not be put to shame.
