1 [“] To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These things says the [One] holding the seven stars in His right hand, walking in [the] midst of the seven golden lampstands. VP
2 I know your works and your labor and perseverance, and that you are not able to bear evil [ones]. And you tested those claiming themselves to be apostles and are not, and you found them false. VP
3 And you have perseverance, and you endured because of My name, and you have not grown weary. VP
4 But I have against you that you abandoned your first love. VP
5 Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works. But if not, I am coming to you, and I will remove your lampstand out of its place, unless you should repent. VP
6 But you have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. VP
7 The [one] having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the [one] overcoming, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God. VP
8 And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These things says the First and the Last, who became dead and lived. VP
9 I know your tribulation and poverty—but you are rich—and the slander of those claiming themselves to be Jews and are not, but [are] a synagogue of Satan. VP
10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you⁺ into prison, so that you⁺ might be tested; and you⁺ will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give to you the crown of life. VP
11 The [one] having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The [one] overcoming shall not be harmed by the second death. VP
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These things says the [One] having the sharp two-edged sword. VP
13 I know where you dwell, where the throne of Satan [is]; and you hold fast to My name, and you did not deny My faith, even in the days of Antipas My witness, My faithful [one], who was killed beside you⁺, where Satan dwells. VP
14 But I have a few things against you, because you have [some] there holding the teaching of Balaam, who would teach Balak to cast a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality. VP
15 So you also have [some] holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise. VP
16 Therefore repent! But if not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will war against them with the sword of My mouth. VP
17 The [one] having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The [one] overcoming, I will give to him the hidden manna, and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows except the [one] receiving [it]. VP
18 And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, the [One] having His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like burnished bronze. VP
19 I know your works, and your love and faith and service and perseverance; and your last works [are] more than the first. VP
20 But I have against you that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, the [one] calling herself a prophetess and teaching and leading astray My servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols. VP
21 And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her sexual immorality. VP
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they shall repent of her works. VP
23 And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches will know that I am the [One] searching kidneys and hearts; and I will give to each of you⁺ according to your⁺ works. VP
24 But I say to you⁺, to the rest of those in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who did not know the depths of Satan, as they say: I will not cast upon you⁺ any other burden. VP
25 But hold fast to what you⁺ have until which [time] I might come. VP
26 And the [one] overcoming and keeping My works until [the] end, I will give to him authority over the nations, VP
27 and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron, as the vessels [of] the potter are broken in pieces—just as I also have received from My Father. VP
28 And I will give to him the morning star. VP
29 The [one] having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.[] VP
