King James Version
`To
the messenger
of the Ephesian
assembly
write :
These things saith he who
is
holding
the seven stars in his right hand, who is
walking
in the midst of the seven lamp-stands
--
the
golden :
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 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
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 :
and thou
didst
bear
, and hast endurance
, and because
of
my name
hast toiled
, and hast not been
weary
.
And hast
borne
, and hast patience
, and for
my name's
sake
hast laboured
, and hast not fainted
.
`But
I have against thee :
That
thy first love thou
didst
leave!
Nevertheless
I have somewhat
against thee ,
because
thou
hast
left
thy 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;
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 this thou hast, that thou dost
hate
the works
of the Nicolaitans
, that
I also hate.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest
the deeds
of the Nicolaitanes
, 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.
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.
`
And to
the
messenger
of
the assembly
of the Smyrneans
write :
These things saith the First and the Last, who
did
become
dead and did
live
;
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 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
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
.
`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.
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
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.

hath
an ear ,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches;

And to the messenger
of the assembly
in Pergamos write :
These things saith he who
is
having
the sharp two-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 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
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 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
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.
so hast thou ,
even
thou,
those
holding
the teaching
of the Nicolaitans
--
which thing I hate.
So hast thou also
them
that
hold
the doctrine
of the Nicolaitanes,
which thing I hate.
`Reform!
and
if
not,
I come to
thee quickly, and will fight 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
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 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.
`
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;
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 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
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 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 ;
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.
and I did
give
to
her a
time
that
she
might
reform
from
her whoredom,
and she did
not reform;
And I gave
her space
to
repent
of
her fornication;
and she repented
not .
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 into a bed
, and them
that
commit
adultery with her into great tribulation ,
except
they repent of their 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.
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.
`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
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 .
but that which ye have --
hold ye,
till I may
come ;
But that which ye have already
hold fast
till 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 he that
overcometh
, and keepeth
my
works
unto the end, to him will
I
give
power
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 ;
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 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 that
hath
an ear ,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches
.
