1 ¶ To the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things says he who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

2 I know your works, and your toil, and your patience, and how you cannot tolerate those who are evil: and you have tested those who claim they are apostles, and are not, and found them to be liars:

3 And have persevered, and have endured hardship, and have labored for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.

4 Nevertheless I have something against you, because you have left your first love.

5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to you quickly, and will remove your candlestick out of its place, unless you repent.

6 But you have this, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, that is in the midst of the paradise of God.

8 ¶ And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things says the first and the last, he who was dead, and is alive;

9 I know your works, and suffering, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

10 Fear none of the things that you will suffer: behold, the devil will throw some of you into prison, to test you; and you will suffer persecution for ten days: continue in faith unto death, and I will give you a crown of life.

11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.

12 ¶ And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things says he who has the sharp two-edged sword;

13 I know your works, and where you live, namely where Satan has his throne: yet you remain true to my name, and have not denied my faith, even in those days when Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.

14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, enticing them to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.

15 And you have others who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which I hate.

16 Repent; or else I will come to you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no man knows but he who receives it.

18 ¶ And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and feet like fine brass;

19 I know your works, and love, and service, and faith, and your patience; and that your last works are more than the first.

20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allowed that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she did not repent.

22 Behold, I will cast her, and those who commit adultery with her into a bed of great suffering, unless they repent of their deeds.

23 And I will strike her children dead; and all the churches will know that I am he who searches the thoughts and hearts: and I will give to every one of you according to your works.

24 But I say, to the rest of you in Thyatira, as many as have not accepted this doctrine, and have not known the depths of Satan, as they say; I will not place any other burden on you.

25 But hold fast to what you have till I come.

26 And to him who overcomes, and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations:

27 And he will rule them with a rod of iron; and dash them to pieces like pottery: even as I received authority from my Father.

28 And I will give him the morning star.

29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
