The Lord said to the Ephesian Church, To him who overcomes I will give that he may eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God Rev. ii 7.

To the Church of the Smyrnaeans, I will give thee the crown of life; and he who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death Rev. ii 10, 11.

To the Church in Pergamum, To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the hidden manna, and I will give him a little white stone, and in the little stone a new* name written, which no one knows except him who accepts it Rev. ii 17.

To the Church in Thyatira, To him will I give power over the nations, and I will give him the morning star Rev. ii 26, 28.

To the Church in Philadelphia, Him who overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and I will write upon him the name of My God, the name of the New Jerusalem, and My new name Rev. lii 12.

To the Church in Laodicea, To him who overcomes will I give to sit with Me in My throne Rev. iii 21.

From these passages it is also plain that the Lord Only is acknowledged in the New Church. It is in consequence of this that that Church is termed THE LAMB'S WIFE (Rev. xix 7, 9; xxi 9, 10) . * The Original Edition has Nomen meum (My Name), but this is probably a slip for Nomen novum (a new name), as in n. 122 and elsewhere.
