"Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it."
Repent

and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth

He who has an ear, let him hear

To him who overcomes

I will give some of the hidden manna
