walking
in

“
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.
I have
known
thy
works,
and
thy
labour
, and
thy
endurance
, and that thou
art
not
able
to
bear
evil ones
, and that
thou
hast
tried
those saying
themselves
to be apostles and
are
not,
and
hast
found
them
liars,
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 .
and
thou
didst
bear,
and
hast
endurance
, and because
of my name hast
toiled,
and
hast
not
been
weary
.
Without
growing
weary
, you
have
persevered
and endured
many
things
for
the
sake
of My name.
`
But I have against thee
: That
thy
first love thou
didst
leave!
But I have this
against you
: You
have
abandoned
your
first love .
remember,
then
, whence
thou
hast
fallen ,
and
reform,
and the first works
do;
and
if not, I come to thee
quickly,
and will
remove thy
lamp-stand
from its place --
if
thou
mayest
not
reform;
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 .
but this thou
hast,
that
thou
dost
hate the works of the Nicolaitans, that
I also hate.
But you
have
this to
your
credit:
You
hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which
I also hate.
He who is
having
an ear --
let him hear what the Spirit saith
to the assemblies:
To him
who is
overcoming
--
I will give
to
him
to eat of
the tree of life that
is
in the midst
of
the
paradise of God.

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.

saith
the First and the Last, who did
become
dead
and did
live;

of the church
in
Smyrna
write: These are
the words
of
the
First and the Last, who died
and returned

I have
known
thy
works,
and
tribulation,
and poverty --
yet
thou
art
rich --
and the evil-speaking
of those saying
themselves
to be Jews, and
are
not,
but `
are '
a synagogue of the
Adversary
.
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
.
`Be
not afraid
of
the
things
that
thou
art
about to suffer ;
lo
, the devil is about to cast
of you to
prison ,
that
ye
may
be
tried
, and ye
shall
have
tribulation ten days ;
become
thou
faithful unto death, and I will give to
thee
the crown of the
life.
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.
He who is
having
an ear --
let him hear what the Spirit saith
to the assemblies:
He
who is
overcoming
may
not be injured
of
the second death.

an ear ,
let him hear what the Spirit says
to the churches.

one
who overcomes
will

`And
to the messenger
of the assembly
in Pergamos
write: These things
saith
he
who is
having
the sharp two
-edged sword :
To the angel
of the church
in Pergamum
write: These are
the
words
of
the
One
who holds
the sharp ,
double
-edged sword .
I have
known
thy
works,
and
where thou
dost
dwell
--
where the throne of the
Adversary
`is'
--
and
thou
dost
hold
fast my name ,
and thou
didst
not deny
my
faith, even in the days
in
which
Antipas
`was'
my faithful witness ,
who
was put
to
death
beside
you, where the
Adversary
doth
dwell
.
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
.
`
But I have against
thee
a few things :
That
thou
hast
there
those
holding
the teaching of Balaam, who did
teach
Balak to cast
a stumbling -
block before the sons
of
Israel,
to
eat idol-sacrifices,
and
to commit whoredom;
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.
so
hast
thou,
even
thou
, those
holding
the teaching of the Nicolaitans --
which
thing
I
hate
.
In
the
same
way
, some
of
you
also
hold
to
the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
`Reform
! and
if
not,
I come to thee
quickly,
and will
fight
against them with the sword of my mouth.
Therefore
repent
! Otherwise
I will
come to you
shortly
and wage
war
against them with the sword of My mouth.
He who is
having
an ear --
let him hear what the Spirit saith
to the assemblies:
To him
who is
overcoming
, I will give to
him
to
eat
from
the hidden manna ,
and
will give to
him a white stone ,
and
upon
the
stone
a new name written
, that
no
one knew
except
him
who is
receiving
`
it '
.
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.
`And
to the messenger
of the assembly
of
Thyatira write: These things
saith
the Son of God, who
is
having
his
eyes as
a flame
of
fire ,
and his
feet like to
fine
brass;
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.
I have
known
thy
works,
and
love, and
ministration,
and
faith, and
thy
endurance
, and
thy
works
--
and the
last
`
are '
more
than the
first.
I know
your
deeds—your
love, your
faith, your
service
, your
perseverance—
and your
latter
deeds
are greater
than your
first.
`
But I have against thee
a
few
things
: That thou
dost
suffer
the
woman Jezebel, who is
calling
herself a prophetess ,
to
teach,
and
to
lead
astray,
my servants to commit
whoredom,
and idol-sacrifices
to eat ;
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.
and
I did
give
to
her a
time that
she
might
reform
from
her whoredom
, and
she did
not
reform;
Even
though
I have
given
her time to
repent
of
her immorality
, she is
unwilling.
lo
, I will cast her into
a couch
, and those committing
adultery with her into
great tribulation --
if
they may
not
repent of their
works,
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.
and
her
children
I will kill
in
death
, and know
shall
all the assemblies
that I am he
who is
searching
reins
and hearts ;
and I will give
to
you
--
to
each --
according to your works
.
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
to
you
I say ,
and
to the rest who
are
in Thyatira, as
many
as
have
not this
teaching ,
and who
did
not know
the depths
of the
Adversary,
as
they
say;
I will not
put
upon you other
burden;
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
that
which
ye
have
--
hold
ye
, till
I may
come ;
Nevertheless
, hold
fast
to
what
you
have
until
I come .
and he
who is
overcoming,
and who
is
keeping
unto
the end my
works
, I will give to
him
authority over the nations ,
And to
the
one
who overcomes
and continues
in
My
work
until
the end, I will give authority over the nations .
and
he shall
rule them with a
rod
of
iron --
as
the
vessels
of
the
potter
they
shall
be
broken
--
as I also
have received from my Father ;
He will
rule them with an
iron scepter
and
shatter
them
like
pottery
—just
as I have received authority
from My Father .
and I will give to
him the morning star.
And I will give him the morning star.
He who is
having
an ear --
let him hear what the Spirit saith
to the assemblies
.
He who has
an ear ,
let him hear what the Spirit says
to the churches
.
