* To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write : These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand , who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamps : * I know thy works and [thy ] labour , and thine endurance , and that thou canst not bear evil [men ]; and thou hast tried them who say that themselves [are ] apostles and are not , and hast found them liars ; * and endurest , and hast borne for my name 's sake , and hast not wearied : * but I have against thee , that thou hast left thy first love . * Remember therefore whence thou art fallen , and repent , and do the first works : but if not , I am coming to thee , and I will remove thy lamp out of its place , except thou shalt repent . * But this thou hast , that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes , which I also hate . * He that has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies . To him that overcomes , I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God . * And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write : These things says the first and the last , who became dead , and lived : * I know thy tribulation and thy poverty ; but thou art rich ; and the railing of those who say that they themselves are Jews , and are not , but a synagogue of Satan . * Fear nothing [of ] what thou art about to suffer . Behold , the devil is about to cast 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 to thee the crown of life . * He that has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies . He that overcomes shall in no wise be injured of the second death . * And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write : These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword : * I know where thou dwellest , where the throne of Satan [is ]; and thou holdest fast my name , and hast not denied my faith , even in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness [was ], who was slain among you , where Satan dwells . * But I have a few things against thee : that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam , who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel , to eat [of ] idol sacrifices and commit fornication . * So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner . * Repent therefore : but if not , I come to thee quickly , and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth . * He that has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies . To him that overcomes , to him will I give of the hidden manna ; and I will give to him a white stone , and on the stone a new name written , which no one knows but he that receives [it ]. * And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write : These things says the Son of God , he that has his eyes as a flame of fire , and his feet [are ] like fine brass : * I know thy works , and love , and faith , and service , and thine endurance , and thy last works [to be ] more than the first . * But I have against thee that thou permittest the woman Jezebel , she who calls herself prophetess , and she teaches and leads astray my servants to commit fornication and eat of idol sacrifices . * And I gave her time that she should repent , and she will not repent of her fornication . * Behold , I cast her into a bed , and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation , unless they repent of her works , * and her children will I kill with death ; and all the assemblies shall know that I am he that searches [the ] reins and [the ] hearts ; and I will give to you each according to your works . * But to you I say , the rest who [are ] in Thyatira , as many as have not this doctrine , who have not known the depths of Satan , as they say , I do not cast upon you any other burden ; * but what ye have hold fast till I shall come . * And he that overcomes , and he that keeps unto the end my works , to him will I give authority over the nations , * and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod ; as vessels of pottery are they broken in pieces , as I also have received from my Father ; * and I will give to him the morning star . * He that has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies .
