He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
If you're really listening, hear what the Spirit is telling all the churches: those who push through and overcome won't be touched by the second death.
Keep fighting through whatever you're facing, there's a victory that even death can't take away.
