Revelation of John 3:11
I come quickly ( ερχομα ταχυ ). As in 2:16; 22:7, 12, 20. "The keynote of the book" (Beckwith). But allow the author's own meaning of "quickly."Hold fast that which thou hast ( κρατε ο εχεις ). Sort of motto for each church (2:25).
That no one take ( ινα μηδεις λαβη ). Purpose clause with ινα and second aorist active subjunctive of λαμβανω. Here to take away "thy crown" (2:10) which will be thine if really won and not forfeited by failure (2Ti 4:8). In that case it will go to another (Mt 25:28; Ro 11:17f.).
