Revelation 3:21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. When Cyneas, the ambassador of Pyrrhus, after his return from Rome, was asked by his master, "What he thought of the city and state," he answered, "that it seemed to him to be a state of none but great states. men, and a commonwealth of kings." Such is heaven — no other than a parliament of emperors, a commonwealth of kings: every humble faithful soul in that kingdom is co-heir with Christ, hath a robe of honour, and a sceptre of power, and a throne of majesty, and a crown of glory. (J. Spencer.) Parallel Verses KJV: To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. |
