Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Revelation 3:11

_ _ Behold — omitted by the three oldest manuscripts and most ancient versions.

_ _ I come quickly — the great incentive to persevering faithfulness, and the consolation under present trials.

_ _ that ... which thou hast — “The word of my patience,” or “endurance” (Revelation 3:10), which He had just commended them for keeping, and which involved with it the attaining of the kingdom; this they would lose if they yielded to the temptation of exchanging consistency and suffering for compromise and ease.

_ _ that no man take thy crown — which otherwise thou wouldst receive: that no tempter cause thee to lose it: not that the tempter would thus secure it for himself (Colossians 2:18).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Revelation 3:7-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Revelation 3:11

Thy crown — Which is ready for thee, if thou endure to the end.
