TKJU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To the angel of the church of Ephesus write; 'These things says He that holds the seven stars in His right hand, Who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; ² "I know your works, your labor, your patience, and how you cannot bear those which are evil: And you have examined those which say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars: ³ And have supported, and have patience, and have labored for My name's sake, and have not fainted. ⁴ Nevertheless I have something against you, because you have left your first love. ⁵ Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to you quickly, and will remove your candlestick out of its place, unless you repent. ⁶ But you have this, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. ⁷ "He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; to him that overcomes I will give to eat from 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 says the First and the Last, which was dead, and is alive; ⁹ "I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich), and I know the blasphemy of those which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. ¹⁰ Fear none of those things which you shall suffer: Behold, the devil shall throw some of you into prison, that you may be proven; and you shall have tribulation ten days: Be faithful to death, and I will give you a crown of life. ¹¹ "He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; he that overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death." ' ¹² "And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; 'These things says He which has the sharp sword with two edges; ¹³ "I know your works, and where you dwell, even where Satan's seat is: And you hold firmly My name, and have not denied My faith, even in those days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells. ¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there those that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication. ¹⁵ You also even have those that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. ¹⁶ Repent; or else I will come to you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. ¹⁷ "He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; to him that overcomes I will give to eat from the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows except him that receives it." ' ¹⁸ "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write; 'These things says the Son of God, Who has His eyes likened to a flame of fire, and His feet are like fine brass; ¹⁹ "I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience, and your works; and the last to be more than the first. ²⁰ Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you let that woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce My servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. ²¹ And I gave her time to repent of her fornication; and she did not repent. ²² Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. ²³ And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am He which searches the inner 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 do not have this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they say; I will put no other burden upon you. ²⁵ But hold firmly to that which you already have until I come. ²⁶ And he that overcomes, and keeps My works to the end, to him I will give power over the nations: ²⁷ 'And He shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter, they shall be broken to pieces: Even as I received from My Father. ²⁸ And I will give him the morning star. ²⁹ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'
