Rev 2:10-11 | Abbott | STEP | The devil, that is, wicked men under the influence of the devil.— Some of you. This and similar expressions show clearly that it was the members of these churches, and not the several presiding officers, who were really addressed in these epistles.— That ye may he tried; that your faith, and patience may be tried.

Revelation of John 2:10-11

The devil, that is, wicked men under the influence of the devil.—Some of you. This and similar expressions show clearly that it was the members of these churches, and not the several presiding officers, who were really addressed in these epistles.—That ye may he tried; that your faith, and patience may be tried.—Ten days; for a short time.
