To 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;
2 I know thy works, and thy toil, and thy patience, and that thou canst not endure the wicked; and thou hast tried them who say they are legates, and are not; and thou hast found them liars.
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 thou hast had patience, and hast borne the burden, on account of my name, and hast not fainted.
And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast labored, and hast not fainted.
4 Yet I have a charge against thee, on account of thy former love, which thou hast left.
Nevertheless, I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 Therefore remember whence thou hast fallen; and repent, and do the former works: or if not, I will come to thee quickly, and I will remove thy candlestick from its place, except thou repent.
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.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him who is victorious, will I give to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of my God.
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 which is at Smyrna, write: These things saith the First and the Last, he who was dead, and liveth.
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 the affliction, and the poverty, (yet thou art rich; ) and the railing which is from them who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are of the congregation of Satan.
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 Be not terrified at any of the things thou art to suffer. For lo, the Accuser will throw some of you into custody, that ye may be tried; and there will be trouble to you ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.
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 ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that is victorious, shall not be harmed by the second death.
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 at Pergamos, write: Thus saith he who hath the sharp two-edged sword;
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 the throne of Satan is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied the faith of me, in those days when my faithful witness, who was slain among you, was made a spectacle where Satan dwelleth.
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 Yet I have a small charge against thee. Thou hast there them who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, that they might eat the sacrifices of idols, and might commit whoredom.
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 also thou hast them who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans. In like manner, repent thou.
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
16 Or if not, I will come to thee quickly, and I will war upon them with the sword of my mouth.
Repent; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that is victorious, will I give to eat of the hidden manna; and I will give him a white counter, and upon the counter a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.
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 at Thyatira, write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass:
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 love, and faith, and service, and also thy patience; and that these thy latter works are more than the former.
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 But I have a charge against thee, because thou sufferest thy woman Jezabel, who saith she is a prophetess, and teacheth, and seduceth my servants to whoredom, and to eating of the sacrifices of idols.
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 a season for repentance, and she is not disposed to repent of her whoredom.
And I gave her time to repent of her lewdness, and she repented not.
22 Behold, I will cast her upon a bed, and them who commit adultery with her into great affliction, unless they repent of their 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.
23 And her children will I slay with death: and all the churches shall know, that I am he who searcheth reins and hearts; and I will render to each of you according to your works.
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 And I say to you, to the rest that are in Thyatira, to all them who have not received this doctrine, the men who have not known the profound things of Satan, as they say; I lay no other burden upon you:
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, what ye have, hold fast until I come.
But that which ye have [already] hold fast till I come.
26 And to him that is victorious, and to him that observeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority, over the nations;
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; and like vessels of pottery, shall they be broken: as I also have received of 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.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
And I will give him the morning-star.
29 He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
