REVELATION ยท Chapter 2
2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things says
he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst
of the seven golden candlesticks;
2:2 I know your works, and your labour, and your patience, and how
you can not bear them which are evil: and you have tried them which say
they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars:
2:3 And have borne, and have patience, and for my name's sake have
laboured, and have not fainted.
2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against you, because you have left
your first love.
2:5 Remember therefore from whence you are fallen, and repent, and
do the first works; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will remove
your candlestick out of his place, except you repent.
2:6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitanes,
which I also hate.
2:7 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says
unto the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the tree
of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things
says the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
2:9 I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich)
and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not,
but are the synagogue of Satan.
2:10 Fear none of those things which you shall suffer: behold, the
devil shall cast some of you into prison, that all of you may be tried;
and all of you shall have tribulation ten days: be you faithful unto death,
and I will give you a crown of life.
2:11 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says
unto the churches; He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death.
2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things
says he which has the sharp sword with two edges;
2:13 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 wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where
Satan dwells.
2:14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there them
that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling
block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols,
and to commit fornication.
2:15 So have you also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes,
which thing I hate.
2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will fight against
them with the sword of my mouth.
2:17 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says
unto the churches; To him that overcomes 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 knows saving he that receives it.
2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things
says the Son of God, who has his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his
feet are like fine brass;
2:19 I know your works, and love, and service, and faith,
and your patience, and your works; and the last to be more than the first.
2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you suffer
that woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce
my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented
not.
2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery
with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches
shall know that I am he which searches the reins and hearts: and I will
give unto every one of you according to your works.
2:24 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 no other burden.
2:25 But that which all of you have already hold fast till I come.
2:26 And he that overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him
will I give power over the nations:
2:27 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.
2:28 And I will give him the morning star.
2:29 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says
unto the churches.
