Revelation 3:12

Hungarian Bible (BUZ) 1967 - Dr. Budai Gergely Ujszovetseg forditasa

Aki győzedelmeskedik, azt (hűségének jutalmául) oszloppá teszem az én Istenemnek templomában, és onnan semmiképpen nem jön ki (üdvössége feltétlenül bizonyos), és őreá (homlokára) fel fogom írni az én Istenemnek nevét (annak jeléül, hogy ő Istennek tulajdona), és az én Istenem városának, az új Jeruzsálemnek nevét, amely város az én Istenemtől az égből száll alá (annak jeléül, hogy a győző annak a városnak teljes jogú polgára), és az én új nevemet (annak jeléül, hogy a győző hozzám tartozik).
