to the victor

 

To the victor I will give the right to eat from the tree of life
that is in the garden of God.

To the victor I shall give some of the hidden manna;
I shall also give a white amulet upon which is
inscribed a new name,
which no one knows except the one who receives it.
To the victor, who keeps to my ways until the end,
I will give authority over the nations.

The victor will be dressed in white,
and I will never erase his name from the book of life
but will acknowledge his name
in the presence of my Father and his angels.

To the victor I will make into a pillar in the temple
of my God,
and he will never leave it again.
On him I will inscribe the name of my God
and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem,
which comes down out of heaven from my God,
as well as my new name.

I will give the victor the right to sit with me on
my throne,
as I myself first won the victory and sit with my Father
on his throne.

- Revelation 2:7,17,26; 3:5,12,21
