1 - To 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 labor, and thy patience, and that thou canst not bear them who are evil; and thou hast tried them who 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 labored, and hast not fainted.

4 - Nevertheless, I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

5 - Remember therefore from whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of its place, except thou repent.

6 - But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

7 - He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to 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 to the angel of the church in Smyrna, write; These things saith the first and the last, who 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 who 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 will cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful to death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

11 - He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches; He that overcometh, shall not be hurt by the second death.

12 - And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he who 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 Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit lewdness.

15 - So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.

16 - Repent; or else I will come to 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 to the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth, he excepted, that receiveth [it].

18 - And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like 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, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit lewdness, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

21 - And I gave her time to repent of her lewdness, 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 who searcheth the reins 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 have not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you no other burden:

25 - But that which ye have [already] hold fast till I come.

26 - And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works to 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 to the churches.
