| 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]. |
| 18 | And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, he that has his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass: |
| 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. |
