Apocalypse
2
Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write: These
things saith he, who holdeth the seven stars in his
right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden
candlesticks:
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience,
and how thou canst not bear them that are evil, and
thou hast tried them, who say they are apostles, and
are not, and hast found them liars:
And thou hast patience, and hast endured for my name,
and hast not fainted.
But I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast
left thy first charity.
Be mindful therefore from whence thou art fallen: and
do penance, and do the first works. Or else I come to
thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place,
except thou do penance.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the
Nicolaites, which I also hate.
He, that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
to the churches: To him, that overcometh, I will give
to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise
of my God.
And to the angel of the church of Smyrna write: These
things saith the First and the Last, who was dead, and
is alive:
I know thy tribulation and thy poverty, but thou art
rich: and thou art blasphemed by them that say they
are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold,
the devil will cast some of you into prison that you
may be tried: and you shall have tribulation ten days.
Be thou faithful until death: and I will give thee the
crown of life.
He, that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
to the churches: He that shall overcome, shall not be
hurt by the second death.
And to the angel of the church of Pergamus write: These
things, saith he, that hath the sharp two edged sword:
I know where thou dwellest, where the seat of Satan
is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied
my faith. Even in those days when Antipas was my faithful
witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
But I have against thee a few things: 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, and to commit fornication:
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the
Nicolaites.
In like manner do penance: if not, I will come to thee
quickly, and will fight against them with the sword
of my mouth.
He, that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
to the churches: To him that overcometh, I will give
the hidden manna, and will give him a white counter,
and in the counter, a new name written, which no man
knoweth, but he that receiveth it.
And to the angel of the church of Thyatira write: These
things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like
to a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass.
I know thy works, and thy faith, and thy charity, and
thy ministry, and thy patience, and thy last works which
are more than the former.
But I have against thee a few things: because thou sufferest
the woman Jezabel, who calleth herself a prophetess,
to teach, and to seduce my servants, to commit fornication,
and to eat of things sacrificed to idols.
And I gave her a time that she might do penance, and
she will not repent of her fornication.
Behold, I will cast her into a bed: and they that commit
adultery with her shall be in very great tribulation,
except they do penance from their deeds.
And I will kill her children with death, and all the
churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the
reins and hearts, and I will give to every one of you
according to your works. But to you I say,
And to the rest who are at Thyatira: Whosoever have
not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths
of Satan, as they say, I will not put upon you any other
burthen.
Yet that, which you have, hold fast till I come.
And he that shall overcome, and keep my works unto the
end, I will give him power over the nations.
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and as the
vessel of a potter they shall be broken,
As I also have received of my Father: and I will give
him the morning star.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
to the churches.
