And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
They defeated him through the blood of the Lamb and by speaking their truth boldly. They weren't even afraid to die for what they believed in.
Victory comes through Jesus and your testimony, even when the stakes are life or death.
