I come quickly (erxomai taxu). As in Revelation 2:16; Revelation 22:7, Revelation 22:12, Revelation 22:20. "The keynote of the book" (Beckwith). But allow the author's own meaning of "quickly."
Hold fast that which thou hast (kratei o exeiv). Sort of motto for each church (Revelation 2:25).
That no one take (ina mhdeiv labh). Purpose clause with ina and second aorist active subjunctive of lambanw. Here to take away "thy crown" (Revelation 2:10) which will be thine if really won and not forfeited by failure (2 Timothy 4:8). In that case it will go to another (Matthew 25:28; Romans 11:17 f.).
