Chapter 2

1: Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeththe seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

2: I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which 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 laboured, and hast not fainted.

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

5: Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of hisplace, except thou repent.

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

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

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

12: And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which 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 hastnot 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 Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

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

16: Repent; or else I will come unto 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 unto the churches; To him that overcometh 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 knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

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

21: And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; 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 hewhich searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

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 none other burden.

25: But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26: And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto 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.
Psa 2:9

28: And I will give him the morning star.
29: He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3
