But to you I say, to the rest that are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who know not the deep things of Satan, as they are wont to say; I cast upon you none other burden.

3:8
I have known thy works; behold! I have set before thee a door -- opened, and no one is able to shut it,
because thou hast a little power, and didst keep My word, and didst not deny My name;

http://www.kingdombiblestudies.org/Revelation/rev54.htm
THE CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA Part 54-56

The second church, of course, against which the Lord laid no charge, nor did He tell them to repent, was the church in Philadelphia. Because they kept the word of His patience, by which the kingdom of God is inherited, He gave them wonderful promises. To the church in Philadelphia the Lord said, “Hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” These last words mean “that no man step into that place which was designed for thee.” For example, after the manner that Jacob stepped into Esau’s place; Judah stepped into Reuben’s place; David stepped into Saul’s place; Matthias stepped into Judas Iscariot’s place; the church stepped into Israel’s place.
The message is clear — God will have a victorious body, a company of overcoming sons of God, who shall within themselves overcome all things and be crowned with life, glory, authority, and power! Should we fail to move in and possess our inheritance in God, as the generation of Israelites who came out of Egypt did, the Lord will reach out and raise up others to take our place, and they will thus take our crown!

The “crown” is mentioned in connection with only two churches out of the seven: Smyrna and Philadelphia — God’s overcoming remnant!

3:10
'Because thou didst keep the word of my endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of the trial that is about to come upon all the oikoumene>3625<, to try those dwelling upon the land.

http://biblehub.com/revelation/3-10.htm

Verse 10. - Because thou didst keep (see notes on Revelation 1:3 and Revelation 2:26) the word of my patience, I also will keep thee.
In "I also will keep thee" the two pronouns are in emphatic contrast. From the hour of temptation. The phrase, τηρεῖν ἐκ, occurs elsewhere in the New Testament only in John 17:15 (comp. James 1:27, where we have τηρεῖν ἀπό, and 2 Thessalonians 3:3, φυλάσσειν ἀπό).

It is not certain that the common explanation, that ἀπό implies exemption from trial, while ἐκ implies preservation under trial, holds good. "Temptation" (πειρασμός) generally has no article in the New Testament (Matthew 6:13; Matthew 26:41; Mark 14:38, etc.; comp. especially Luke 8:13).
Here it has the article, as if "the temptation" were to be of no ordinary kind. The word does not occur elsewhere in St. John's writings. In order to bring substantive and verb into harmony, the Revised Version renders πειρασμός "trial," the word for "to try" being πειράσαι.

"World" here is not the κόσμος, "the ordered universe" (Revelation 11:15; Revelation 13:8; Revelation 17:8), but the οἰκυμένη, "the inhabited earth" (Revelation 12:9; Revelation 16:14). The phrase, "to dwell upon the earth," κατοικεῖν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, is peculiar to the Apocalypse (Revelation 6:10; Revelation 8:13; Revelation 11:10; Revelation 13:8, 14). "The hour of trial" seems to be that which Christ had foretold should precede his coming, especially the triumph of antichrist. Hence the declaration in the next verse. ..................................
