1To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: These things says he who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: 2I know your works, and your toil and patience, and that you cannot bear evil men, and tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false; 3and you have patience and bore up for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary. 4But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent. 6But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God. 8And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: These things says the first and the last, who was dead, and lived again: 9I know your tribulation, 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. 10Do not fear the things which you are about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death. 12And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: These things says he who has the sharp two-edged sword: 13I know where you dwell, even where Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast my name, and did not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication. 15So you also have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans in like manner. 16Repent therefore; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth. 17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it. 18And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished bronze: 19I know your works, and your love and faith and ministry and patience, and that your last works are more than the first. 20But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess; and she teaches and seduces my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21And I gave her time that she should repent; and she is not willing to repent of her fornication. 22Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works. 23And I will kill her children with death; and all the assemblies shall know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts: and I will give to each one of you according to your works. 24But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who do not know the deep things of Satan, as they are accustomed to say; I cast upon you no other burden. 25Nevertheless that which you have, hold fast till I come. 26And he who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations: 27and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces; as I also have received from my Father: 28and I will give him the morning star. 29He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
