Chapter 2

¹ Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write: These things saith he, who holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:
² I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them that are evil, and thou hast tried them, who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
³ And thou hast patience, and hast endured for my name, and hast not fainted.
⁴ But I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first charity.
⁵ Be mindful therefore from whence thou art fallen: and do penance, and do the first works. Or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou do penance.
⁶ But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaites, which I also hate.
⁷ He, that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: To him, that overcometh, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God.
⁸ And to the angel of the church of Smyrna write: These things saith the First and the Last, who was dead, and is alive:
⁹ I know thy tribulation and thy poverty, but thou art rich: and thou art blasphemed by them that say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
¹⁰ Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison that you may be tried: and you shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful until death: and I will give thee the crown of life.
¹¹ He, that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: He that shall overcome, shall not be hurt by the second death.
¹² And to the angel of the church of Pergamus write: These things, saith he, that hath the sharp two edged sword:
¹³ I know where thou dwellest, where the seat of Satan is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith. Even in those days when Antipas was my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
¹⁴ But I have against thee a few things: 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, and to commit fornication:
¹⁵ So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaites.
¹⁶ In like manner do penance: if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
¹⁷ He, that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: To him that overcometh, I will give the hidden manna, and will give him a white counter, and in the counter, a new name written, which no man knoweth, but he that receiveth it.
¹⁸ And to the angel of the church of Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like to a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass.
¹⁹ I know thy works, and thy faith, and thy charity, and thy ministry, and thy patience, and thy last works which are more than the former.
²⁰ But I have against thee a few things: because thou sufferest the woman Jezabel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach, and to seduce my servants, to commit fornication, and to eat of things sacrificed to idols.
²¹ And I gave her a time that she might do penance, and she will not repent of her fornication.
²² Behold, I will cast her into a bed: and they that commit adultery with her shall be in very great tribulation, except they do penance from their deeds.
²³ And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts, and I will give to every one of you according to your works. But to you I say,
²⁴ And to the rest who are at Thyatira: Whosoever have not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will not put upon you any other burthen.
²⁵ Yet that, which you have, hold fast till I come.
²⁶ And he that shall overcome, and keep my works unto the end, I will give him power over the nations.
²⁷ And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and as the vessel of a potter they shall be broken,
²⁸ As I also have received of my Father: and I will give him the morning star.
²⁹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

² I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and that thou canst not bear them who are evil; and thou hast tried them who say they are apostles, and are not; and hast found them liars:
³ And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast labored, and hast not fainted.
⁴ Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
⁵ Remember therefore from whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of its place, except thou repent.
⁶ But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
⁷ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to 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.
⁸ And to the angel of the church in Smyrna, write; These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and is alive;
⁹ I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them who say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
¹⁰ Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful to death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
¹¹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches; He that overcometh, shall not be hurt by the second death.
¹² And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he who hath the sharp sword with two edges;
¹³ 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.
¹⁴ But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit lewdness.
¹⁵ So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
¹⁶ Repent; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
¹⁷ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth, he excepted, that receiveth it.
¹⁸ And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
¹⁹ 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:
²⁰ Notwithstanding, I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit lewdness, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
²¹ And I gave her time to repent of her lewdness, and she repented not.
²² Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
²³ And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give to every one of you according to your works.
²⁴ But to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, As many as have not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you no other burden:
²⁵ But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
²⁶ And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works to the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
²⁷ (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.
²⁸ And I will give him the morning-star.
²⁹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

³ have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.
⁴ I have this against you, that you left your first love.
⁵ therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.
⁶ this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

⁸ the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: "The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
⁹ know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
¹⁰ be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.
¹¹ who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.
¹² the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:

¹⁴ I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
¹⁵ you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.
¹⁶ therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

¹⁹ know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.

²¹ gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
²² I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
²³ will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

¹ To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamps:
² I know thy works and [thy] labour, and thine endurance, and that thou canst not bear evil [men]; and thou hast tried them who say that themselves [are] apostles and are not, and hast found them liars;
³ and endurest, and hast borne for my name's sake, and hast not wearied:
⁴ but I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
⁵ Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent.
⁶ But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which *I* also hate.
⁷ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.
⁸ And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: These things says the first and the last, who became dead, and lived:
⁹ I know thy tribulation and thy poverty; but thou art rich; and the railing of those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but a synagogue of Satan.
¹⁰ Fear nothing [of] what thou art about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast 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 to thee the crown of life.
¹¹ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He that overcomes shall in no wise be injured of the second death.
¹² And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword:
¹³ I know where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan [is]; and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness [was], who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
¹⁴ But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat [of] idol sacrifices and commit fornication.
¹⁵ So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner.
¹⁶ Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.
¹⁷ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the hidden manna; and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives [it].

¹⁹ I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thine endurance, and thy last works [to be] more than the first.
²⁰ But I have against thee that thou permittest the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself prophetess, and she teaches and leads astray my servants to commit fornication and eat of idol sacrifices.
²¹ And I gave her time that she should repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.
²² Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,
²³ and her children will I kill with death; and all the assemblies shall know that *I* am he that searches [the] reins and [the] hearts; and I will give to you each according to your works.
²⁴ But to you I say, the rest who [are] in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden;
²⁵ but what ye have hold fast till I shall come.
²⁶ And he that overcomes, and he that keeps unto the end my works, to him will I give authority over the nations,
²⁷ and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; as vessels of pottery are they broken in pieces, as I also have received from my Father;
²⁸ and I will give to him the morning star.
²⁹ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

Chapter 2

¹ To the angel of the church in Ephesus say: These things says he who has the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the middle of the seven gold lights:
² I have knowledge of your doings, and of your hard work and long waiting, and that you will not put up with evil men, and have put to the test those who say they are Apostles and are not, and have seen that they are false;
³ And you have the power of waiting, and have undergone trouble because of my name, without weariness.
⁴ But I have this against you, that you are turned away from your first love.
⁵ So keep in mind where you were at first, and be changed in heart and do the first works; or I will come to you, and will take away your light from its place, if your hearts are not changed.
⁶ But at least you have the credit of hating the works of the Nicolaitans, as I do.
⁷ He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
⁸ And to the angel of the church in Smyrna say: These things says the first and the last, who was dead and is living:
⁹ I have knowledge of your troubles and how poor you are (but you have true wealth), and the evil words of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a Synagogue of Satan.
¹⁰ Have no fear of the things which you will have to undergo: see, the Evil One will send some of you into prison, so that you may be put to the test; and you will have great trouble for ten days. Be true till death, and I will give you the crown of life.
¹¹ He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second death.
¹² And to the angel of the church in Pergamos say: These things says he who has the sharp two-edged sword:
¹³ I have knowledge that your living-place is where Satan has his seat: and you are true to my name, and were not turned away from your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my true witness, who was put to death among you, where Satan has his place.
¹⁴ But I have some things against you, because you have with you those who keep the teaching of Balaam, by whose suggestion Balak made the children of Israel go out of the right way, taking food which was offered to false gods, and going after the desires of the flesh.
¹⁵ And you have those who keep the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
¹⁶ See, then, that you have a change of heart; or I will come to you quickly, and will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
¹⁷ He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the secret manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name, of which no one has knowledge but he to whom it is given.
¹⁸ And to the angel of the church in Thyatira say: These things says the Son of God, whose eyes are like a flame of fire, and his feet like polished brass:
¹⁹ I have knowledge of your works, and your love and faith and help and strength in trouble, and that your last works are more than the first.
²⁰ But I have this against you, that you let the woman Jezebel say she is a prophet and give false teaching, making my servants go after the desires of the flesh and take food offered to false gods.
²¹ And I gave her time for a change of heart, but she has no mind to give up her unclean ways.
²² See, I will put her into a bed, and those who make themselves unclean with her, into great trouble, if they go on with her works.
²³ And I will put her children to death; and all the churches will see that I am he who makes search into the secret thoughts and hearts of men: and I will give to every one of you the reward of your works.
²⁴ But to you I say, to the rest in Thyatira, even to those who have not this teaching, and have no knowledge of the secrets of Satan, as they say; I put on you no other weight.
²⁵ But what you have, keep safe till I come.
²⁶ He who overcomes, and keeps my works to the end, to him I will give rule over the nations,
²⁷ And he will be ruling them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of the potter they will be broken, even as I have power from my Father:
²⁸ And I will give him the morning star.
²⁹ He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
