1 "Write to the angel of the church of Ephesus: 'He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, says these things: 2 I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and how you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars, 3 and have persevered and had patience, and for My name's sake have labored 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 who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.'" 8 "And write to the angel of the church in Smyrna: 'The first and the last, who was dead and is alive, says these things: 9 I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich), and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear any of those things that you shall suffer. Behold, the devil shall 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 a crown of life. 11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.'" 12 "And write to the angel of the church in Pergamum: 'He who has the sharp sword with two edges says these things: 13 I know your works, and where you dwell, even where Satan's seat is. And you hold fast 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 who 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 fornication. 15 So you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, a thing that 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 who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the hidden manna to eat, and will give him a white stone and a new name written on the stone that no man knows except him who receives it.'" 18 "And write to the angel of the church in Thyatira: 'The Son of God, who has His eyes like a flame of fire and His feet like fine brass, says these things: 19 I know your works, and love and service, and faith, and your patience, and your works, and the last are more than the first. 20 However, I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who 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 who 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 who searches the minds 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 who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. 25 But hold fast what you already have until I come. 26 And he who 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, like 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 who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'"
