I have known thy works, and love,
and ministration, and faith, and
thy endurance, and thy works and
the last [are] more than the first.
And to the messenger of the assembly
of Thyatira write:
These things saith the Son of God,
who is having his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass;
He who is having an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving [it].
Reform! and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
so hast thou, even thou, those
holding the teaching of the
Nicolaitans which thing I hate.
But I have against thee a few things: That thou hast there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who did teach Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit whoredom;
I have known thy works, and where thou dost dwell where the throne of the Adversary [is] and thou dost hold fast my name, and thou didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas [was] my faithful witness, who was put to death beside you, where the Adversary doth dwell.
And to the messenger of the assembly
in Pergamos write:
These things saith he who is having
the sharp two-edged sword:
He who is having and ear,
let him hear what the Spirit
saith to the assemblies:
He who is overcoming may not be
injured of the second death.
Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the life.
I have known thy works, and
tribulation, and poverty,
yet thou art rich,
and the evil-speaking of those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not,
but [are] a synagogue of the Adversary.
And to the messenger of the assembly of the Smyrneans write: These things saith the First and the Last, who did become dead and did live;
He who is having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.
but this thou hast,
that thou dost hate the works of the Nicolaitans, that I also hate.
remember, then, whence thou hast fallen, and reform, and the first works do; and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will remove thy lamp-stand from its place if thou mayest not reform;
But I have against thee:
That thy first love thou didst leave!
and thou didst bear, and hast endurance, and because of my name
hast toiled, and hast not been weary.
I have known thy works, and thy labor,
and thy endurance, and that thou are not able to bear evil ones,
and that thou hast tried those saying
themselves to be apostles and are not,
and hast found them liars,
To the messenger of the Ephesian assembly write: These things saith he who is holding the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven lamp-stands, the golden:
the secret of the seven stars that
thou has seen upon my right hand,
and the seven-golden lamp-stands:

'Write the things that thou hast seen,

and he placed his right hand upon me,
saying, to me, 'Be not afraid;

and his feet like a fine brass,
as in a furnace having been fired,
and his voice as a sound of many waters,
