Revelation 2
1 “To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: “He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lamp stands says these things:
To the angel of the church which is in Ephesos, write: These saith the Holder of all, and of the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven candlesticks of gold.
2 “I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and (that) thou canst not bear evils; and hast tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
And thou hast patience, and hast laboured on account of my name, and hast not fainted.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
But I have against thee, because thy first love thou hast forsaken.
5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.
Remember, therefore, from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works. But if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick from its place, if thou convert not.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nikolitu, which also I (hate).
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.
He who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him who overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God.
8 “To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
And to the angel of the church which is in Smurna, write: These saith the First and the Last, who was dead, and liveth.
9 “I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
I know thy works, and affliction, and poverty, but thou art rich; and the blasphemy of them who say of themselves that they are Jihudoyee, and are not, but the synagogue of Satana.
10 Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Fear not any thing of those that thou art to suffer; for, behold, it will be that the accuser will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you will have affliction ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee the crown of life.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be harmed by the second death.
He who hath ears, let him hear what saith the Spirit to the churches. He who overcometh shall not be injured by the second death.
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
And to the angel of the church which is in Pergamos, write: These saith he who hath the sharp sword with two edges.
13 “I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn’t deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, where (is) the throne of Satana; and thou hast held my name, and not denied my faith in those days when my witness was exposed, my faithful one, who was killed with you where dwelleth Satana.
14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
But I have against thee a little, because thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Belam, who taught Balok to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat that which the sons of idols (eat), and to commit fornication.
15 So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
So hast thou who hold the doctrine of the Nikolitu: of it,
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
in like (manner), repent; and if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will war against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows but he who receives it.
He who hath ears, let him hear what saith the Spirit to the churches. To him who overcometh will I give to eat of the manna which is hidden; and I will give to him the white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth but he who receiveth.
18 “To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:
And to the angel and church which is in Thiatiros, write: These saith the Son of Aloha, who hath his eyes as the flame of fire, and his feet like refined brass.
19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
I know thy works, and thy love and faith and service; and also thy patience, and thy last works to be greater than the first.
20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
But I have against thee that thou permittest thy wife Izabel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat what the sons of idols (eat).
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
And I gave her time when she might convert, and she willed not to repent of her fornication.
22 Behold, I will throw her and those who commit adultery with her into a bed of great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who have committed adultery with her into great affliction, if they repent not of their works.
23 I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
And her sons will I kill with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you every one according to your works.
24 But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira—as many as don’t have this teaching, who don’t know what some call ‘the deep things of Satan’—to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
But to you I say, to those of the rest who are in Thiatiros, all them who have not this doctrine, the men who know not the depths Of Satana, as they speak; I will not throw upon you another burden;
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
but that which you have, hold, until I come.
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
And he who conquereth, and he who keepeth until the end my works, I will give to him power over the peoples,
27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and as a vessel of the potter shall they be destroyed, as also I have received from my Father;
28 and I will give him the morning star.
and I will give to him the morning star.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
He who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
