Revelation 2:13 > I Know Thy Works

2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

and thou holdest fast my name,

• ​thou = the church (or each individual member)
• holdest (holds) fast =

• ​name = authority, character
  

and (thou) hast not denied my faith,
