1'To the messenger of the Ephesian assembly write: These things says he who is holding the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven lamp-stands -- the golden: 2I have known your works, and your labour, and your endurance, and that you are not able to bear evil ones, and that you have tried those saying themselves to be apostles and are not, and have found them liars, 3and you did bear, and have endurance, and because of my name have toiled, and have not been weary. 4'But I have against you: That your first love you did leave! 5remember, then, why you have fallen, and reform, and the first works do; and if not, I come to you quickly, and will remove your lamp-stand from its place -- if you may not reform; 6but this you have, that you do hate the works of the Nicolaitans, that I also hate. 7He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit says 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. 8'And to the messenger of the assembly of the Smyrneans write: These things says the First and the Last, who did become dead and did live; 9I have known your works, and tribulation, and poverty -- yet you are rich -- and the evil-speaking of those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, butare a synagogue of the Adversary. 10'Be not afraid of the things that you are about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that you may be tried, and you shall have tribulation ten days; become you faithful unto death, and I will give to you the crown of the life. 11He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be injured of the second death. 12'And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says he who is having the sharp two-edged sword: 13I have known your works, and where you do dwell -- where the throne of the Adversaryis -- and you do hold fast my name, and you did 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 does dwell. 14'But I have against you a few things: That you have 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; 15so have you, even you, those holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans -- which thing I hate. 16'Reform! and if not, I come to you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit says 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 receivingit. 18'And to the messenger of the assembly of Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, who is having his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass; 19I have known your works, and love, and ministration, and faith, and your endurance, and your works -- and the lastare more than the first. 20'But I have against you a few things: That you do allow 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; 21and I did give to her a time that she might reform from her whoredom, and she did not reform; 22lo, I will cast her into a couch, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation -- if they may not repent of their works, 23and 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. 24'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; 25but that which you have -- hold you, till I may come; 26and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations, 27and 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; 28and I will give to him the morning star. 29He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
