Revelation 2:8-11 contains the letter to the church at Smyrna. Although their status in the eyes of the world is a  lowly one and they suffer persecution, they are said to be rich in God's eyes. He gives them the paradoxical promise: "Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life."
