This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And - implying the close connection of the promise to the conqueror that follows, with the preceding exhortation, Rev 2:25.
and keepeth - Greek, “and he that keepeth.” Compare the same word in the passage already alluded to by the Lord, Act 15:28, Act 15:29, end.
my works - in contrast to “her (English Version, ‘their’) works” (Rev 2:22). The works which I command and which are the fruit of My Spirit.
unto the end - (Mat 24:13). The image is perhaps from the race, wherein it is not enough to enter the lists, but the runner must persevere to the end.
give power - Greek, “authority.”
over the nations - at Christ’s coming the saints shall possess the kingdom “under the whole heaven”; therefore over this earth; compare Luk 19:17, “have thou authority [the same word as here] over ten cities.”
