[1] Unto the Angel (of the church)[1] 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 penitence, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick2 out of his place, except thou penitence.
[6] But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds (of the Nicolaitans)5, 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).3
[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.4
[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)5, which thing I hate.
[16] penitence; 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 penitence of her fornication; and she penitence not.
[22] Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they penitence 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:6 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.7
[29] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
