Revelation 3:11

“Behold, I come quickly, etc.] To bring on this hour of temptation on the reformed churches, which will be at the beginning of this period; to help and deliver, save and preserve the truly godly among them; to destroy antichrist, and introduce the latter day glory: hold that fast which thou hast; either her grace in the exercise of it, as her faith, patience, etc. or rather the doctrines of the Gospel, and the ordinances of it, which she had received, as delivered by Christ and his apostles: and which she had held in the truth and purity of them, and is now exhorted to hold them fast, since this hour of temptation would be a trying time to her faith, patience, integrity, and constancy: that…”

“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" (Rev 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 (Col 2:18).”

“Behold, I come quickly - That is, in the trials referred to. Compare the notes on Revelation 1:1, Revelation 1:11, Revelation 1:16. Hold that fast which thou hast - That is, whatever of truth and piety you now possess. See the notes on Revelation 3:3. That no man take thy crown - The crown of life appointed for all who are true believers. See the notes on 2 Timothy 4:8. The truth which is taught bore is, that by negligence or unfaithfulness in duty we may be deprived of the glory which we might have obtained if we had been faithful to our God and Saviour. We need to be on our constant guard, that, in a world of temptation, where the enemies of truth abound, we may not be robbed of the crown…”

“Thy crown - Which is ready for thee, if thou endure to the end. Revelation 3:12”

“3:11 Christians must hold on; they must persevere in difficulty so they will not lose their crown, their expected reward.”
