“To
the angel of the church in
Ephesus write :
These are
the
words
of
Him
who
holds
the seven stars in His right hand and
walks
among
the seven golden lampstands.
Unto
the angel of the church of
Ephesus write ;
These things
saith
he
that
holdeth
the seven stars in his right hand ,
who
walketh
in
the midst
of
the
seven golden candlesticks;
I know your
deeds
, your
labor
, and your
perseverance.
I
know
that
you
cannot
tolerate
those
who
are evil, and you
have
tested
and exposed
as
liars those
who
falsely
claim
to
be
apostles.
I know thy
works
, and
thy
labour
, and thy
patience,
and
how
thou
canst
not
bear
them
which
are evil :
and
thou
hast
tried
them
which
say
they
are
apostles
, and are
not,
and hast
found
them
liars :
Without
growing
weary
, you
have
persevered
and endured
many
things
for the
sake
of
My name
.
And
hast
borne
, and hast
patience,
and
for my name's
sake
hast
laboured,
and
hast
not
fainted
.
But
I have this
against you:
You
have
abandoned
your
first love.
Nevertheless
I have somewhat
against thee,
because
thou
hast
left
thy
first love.
Therefore ,
keep
in
mind
how
far
you
have
fallen .
Repent and perform
the deeds
you
did
at
first .
But
if
you
do
not
repent,
I will come to
you
and remove your
lampstand
from
its
place.
Remember
therefore from
whence
thou
art
fallen ,
and
repent ,
and do
the first works;
or
else
I will come unto
thee
quickly,
and will
remove thy
candlestick
out
of
his
place ,
except
thou
repent
.
But you
have
this to
your
credit:
You
hate
the works
of the Nicolaitans
, which I also hate.
But this thou
hast,
that
thou
hatest
the deeds
of the Nicolaitanes
, which I also hate.
He who
has
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says
to
the churches .
To the
one
who
overcomes,
I
will grant
the
right
to eat from
the tree of life in the Paradise of God.
He that
hath
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto
the churches ;
To him
that
overcometh
will I
give
to eat of
the tree of life ,
which
is
in the midst
of
the
paradise of God.
To
the angel of the church in Smyrna write :
These are
the
words
of
the First and the Last, who
died
and returned
to
life.
And
unto
the angel of the church in Smyrna write ;
These things
saith
the first and the last, which
was
dead,
and is
alive;
I know your
affliction
and your
poverty —though
you
are
rich !
And I am
aware
of
the slander
of those
who
falsely
claim
to
be
Jews, but are in
fact
a
synagogue of Satan.
I know thy
works,
and tribulation,
and
poverty ,
(but
thou
art
rich )
and I know
the blasphemy
of them
which
say
they
are
Jews, and
are
not,
but are the
synagogue of Satan.
Do
not
fear what
you
are
about
to
suffer .
Look
, the devil is
about
to
throw
some of you into prison to
test
you
, and you
will
suffer
tribulation for
ten days .
Be faithful even
unto death, and I will give you
the
crown of life.
Fear none
of
those
things
which
thou
shalt
suffer :
behold
, the devil shall
cast
some of you into prison, that
ye
may
be
tried;
and ye
shall
have
tribulation ten days :
be thou
faithful unto death, and I will give thee
a
crown of life.
He who
has
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says
to
the churches .
The
one
who
overcomes
will
not be harmed
by
the second death.
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.
To the angel of the church in Pergamum
write :
These are
the
words
of
the
One
who
holds
the sharp ,
double-edged
sword .
And
to the angel of the church in Pergamos
write ;
These things
saith
he
which
hath
the sharp sword with
two
edges;
I know where you
live
, where the
throne
of
Satan
sits.
Yet
you
have
held
fast to
My name and have
not denied your
faith in
Me
, even in the
day
when
My faithful witness
Antipas
was killed
among you, where Satan dwells
.
I know thy
works,
and
where thou
dwellest
, even
where Satan's
seat
is:
and
thou
holdest
fast my name ,
and hast
not denied my
faith, even in those
days
wherein
Antipas
was
my faithful martyr,
who
was slain
among you, where Satan dwelleth
.
But I have a few things against you
, because some
of
you
hold to
the teaching
of Balaam, who taught Balak
to place
a stumbling
block
before the Israelites
so
they
would
eat food
sacrificed to
idols and commit sexual
immorality
.
But I have a few things against thee
, because thou
hast
there
them
that
hold the doctrine
of Balaam, who taught Balac
to cast
a stumblingblock
before the children
of
Israel,
to
eat things
sacrificed unto
idols ,
and to
commit fornication
.
In
the
same
way,
some
of
you
also hold to
the teaching
of the Nicolaitans
.
So
hast
thou
also them
that
hold the doctrine
of the Nicolaitanes,
which
thing
I
hate
.
Therefore
repent !
Otherwise
I will come to
you
shortly
and wage
war
against them with the sword of My mouth.
Repent ;
or
else
I will come unto
thee
quickly,
and will
fight
against them with the sword of my mouth.
He who
has
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says
to
the churches .
To the
one
who
overcomes,
I
will give the hidden manna .
I
will also
give him a white stone inscribed
with
a new name, known
only
to
the
one
who
receives
it.
He that
hath
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto
the churches ;
To him
that
overcometh
will I
give to
eat
of
the hidden manna ,
and
will give him a white stone ,
and
in
the
stone
a new name written
, which
no
man
knoweth
saving
he
that
receiveth
it.
To
the angel of the church in Thyatira write :
These are
the
words
of
the Son of God, whose
eyes are
like a blazing
fire and whose
feet are like polished
bronze.
And
unto
the angel of the church in Thyatira write ;
These things
saith
the Son of God, who
hath
his
eyes like unto
a flame
of
fire ,
and his
feet are like fine
brass;
I know your
deeds—your
love
, your
faith
, your
service, your
perseverance—
and your
latter
deeds
are
greater
than your
first.
I know thy
works
, and
charity
, and
service, and faith,
and
thy
patience,
and
thy
works;
and
the
last
to
be
more
than the
first.
But
I have this
against you:
You
tolerate
that woman Jezebel, who
calls
herself a prophetess .
By
her
teaching
she
misleads
My servants to be
sexually
immoral
and to eat food
sacrificed to
idols.
Notwithstanding
I have a
few
things
against thee,
because
thou
sufferest
that woman Jezebel, which
calleth
herself a prophetess ,
to
teach
and
to
seduce
my servants to commit
fornication,
and to eat things
sacrificed unto
idols.
Even
though
I have
given
her time
to repent of her immorality,
she is
unwilling
.
And
I gave
her space
to repent of her fornication;
and
she repented
not
.
Behold, I will cast her onto
a bed of
sickness
, and those
who
commit adultery with her will
suffer
great tribulation unless
they repent of her
deeds.
Behold, I will cast her into
a bed, and them
that
commit adultery with her into
great tribulation ,
except
they repent of their
deeds.
Then
I will strike
her children dead,
and all the churches will
know that I am the One
who
searches
minds
and hearts ,
and I will repay
each
of you according to your deeds
.
And
I will kill
her children with
death;
and all the churches shall
know that I am he
which
searcheth
the reins
and hearts :
and I will give
unto
every
one
of you according to your works
.
But I say to
the rest of
you
in Thyatira, who
do
not hold
to
her
teaching
and have not learned
the so-called
deep
things
of Satan :
I will place
no
further
burden
upon you.
But unto
you
I say ,
and
unto
the rest in Thyatira, as
many
as
have
not this
doctrine,
and which
have not known
the depths
of Satan ,
as
they
speak;
I will put
upon you none
other
burden
.
Nevertheless,
hold fast to
what
you
have
until
I come.
But
that
which
ye
have
already
hold fast till
I come.
And to
the
one
who
overcomes
and continues
in
My work
until
the end, I
will give authority
over the nations .
And he
that
overcometh,
and keepeth
my works
unto
the end, to
him
will I
give power
over the nations :
He will
rule them with an
iron scepter
and
shatter
them
like
pottery
—just
as I have
received authority
from
My Father.
And
he shall
rule them with a
rod
of
iron ;
as the
vessels
of
a
potter
shall
they
be
broken
to
shivers:
even
as
I received of
my Father.
And I will give him the morning star.
And I will give him the morning star.
He who
has
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says
to
the churches.
He that
hath
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto
the churches.
