Unto
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 labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not
bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles,
and are not, and hast found them liars: |
3 |
And
hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast
not fainted. |
4 |
Nevertheless
I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
|
5 |
Remember
therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or
else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his
place, except thou repent. |
6 |
But
this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also
hate. |
7 |
He
that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto 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
unto the angel of the church in Smyrna
write; These things saith the
first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; |
9 |
I
know thy works, and tribulation,
and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say
they are Jews, and
are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. |
10 |
Fear
none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil
shall cast some 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 thee a crown of life. |
11 |
He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that
overcometh shall not be hurt of the second
death. |
12 |
And
to the angel of the church in Pergamos
write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword
with two edges; |
13 |
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 |
But
I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold
the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before
the children of Israel, to eat
things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. |
15 |
So
hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans,
which thing I hate. |
16 |
Repent;
or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the
sword of my mouth. |
17 |
He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him
that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna,
and will give him a white stone,
and in the stone a new name
written, which no man knoweth
saving he that receiveth it. |
18 |
And
unto the angel of the church in Thyatira
write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes
like unto a flame of fire, and his feet
are like fine brass; |
19 |
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 |
Notwithstanding
I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel,
which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce
my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
|
21 |
And
I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. |
22 |
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
I will kill her children
with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the
reins and hearts:
and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
|
24 |
But
unto you I say, and
unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have
not known the depths
of Satan, as they speak; I will put
upon you none other burden. |
25 |
But
that which ye have already hold fast till I come. |
26 |
And
he that overcometh,
and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
|
27 |
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.
|
29 |
He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. |
