* Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write (5657 ); These things saith (5719 ) he that holdeth (5723 ) the seven stars in his right hand , who walketh (5723 ) in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks ; * I know (5758 ) thy works , and thy labour , and thy patience , and how thou canst (5736 ) not bear (5658 ) them which are evil : and thou hast tried (5668 ) them which say (5723 ) they are (5750 ) apostles , and are (5748 ) not , and hast found (5627 ) them liars : * And hast borne (5656 ), and hast (5719 ) patience , and for my names sake hast laboured (5758 ), and hast not fainted (5758 ). * Nevertheless I have (5719 ) somewhat against thee , because thou hast left (5656 ) thy first love . * Remember (5720 ) therefore from whence thou art fallen (5758 ), and repent (5657 ), and do (5657 ) the first works ; or else I will come (5736 ) unto thee quickly , and will remove (5692 ) thy candlestick out of his place , except thou repent (5661 ). * But this thou hast (5719 ), that thou hatest (5719 ) the deeds of the Nicolaitans , which I also hate (5719 ). * He that hath (5723 ) an ear , let him hear (5657 ) what the Spirit saith (5719 ) unto the churches ; To him that overcometh (5723 ) will I give (5692 ) to eat (5629 ) of the tree of life , which is (5748 ) in the midst of the paradise of God . * And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write (5657 ); These things saith (5719 ) the first and the last , which was (5633 ) dead , and is alive (5656 ); * I know (5758 ) thy works , and tribulation , and poverty , (but thou art (5748 ) rich ) and I know the blasphemy of them which say (5723 ) they are (5750 ) Jews , and are (5748 ) not , but are the synagogue of Satan . * Fear (5737 ) none of those things which thou shalt (5719 ) suffer (5721 ): behold (5628 ), the devil shall (5719 ) cast (5629 ) some of you into prison , that ye may be tried (5686 ); and ye shall have (5692 ) tribulation ten days : be thou (5737 ) faithful unto death , and I will give (5692 ) thee a crown of life . * He that hath (5723 ) an ear , let him hear (5657 ) what the Spirit saith (5719 ) unto the churches ; He that overcometh (5723 ) shall not be hurt (5686 ) of the second death . * And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write (5657 ); These things saith (5719 ) he which hath (5723 ) the sharp sword with two edges ; * I know (5758 ) thy works , and where thou dwellest (5719 ), even where Satans seat is : and thou holdest fast (5719 ) my name , and hast not denied (5662 ) my faith , even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr , who was slain (5681 ) among you , where Satan dwelleth (5719 ). * But I have (5719 ) a few things against thee , because thou hast (5719 ) there them that hold (5723 ) the doctrine of Balaam , who taught (5707 ) Balac to cast (5629 ) a stumblingblock before the children of Israel , to eat (5629 ) things sacrificed unto idols , and to commit fornication (5658 ). * So hast (5719 ) thou also them that hold (5723 ) the doctrine of the Nicolaitans , which thing I hate (5719 ). * Repent (5657 ); or else I will come (5736 ) unto thee quickly , and will fight (5692 ) against them with the sword of my mouth . * He that hath (5723 ) an ear , let him hear (5657 ) what the Spirit saith (5719 ) unto the churches ; To him that overcometh (5723 ) will I give (5692 ) to eat (5629 ) of the hidden (5772 ) manna , and will give (5692 ) him a white stone , and in the stone a new name written (5772 ), which no man knoweth (5627 ) saving he that receiveth (5723 ) it . * And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write (5657 ); These things saith (5719 ) the Son of God , who hath (5723 ) his eyes like unto a flame of fire , and his feet are like fine brass ; * I know (5758 ) thy works , and charity , and service , and faith , and thy patience , and thy works ; and the last to be more than the first . * Notwithstanding I have (5719 ) a few things against thee , because thou sufferest (5719 ) that woman Jezebel , which calleth (5723 ) herself a prophetess , to teach (5721 ) and to seduce (5745 ) my servants to commit fornication (5658 ), and to eat (5629 ) things sacrificed unto idols . * And I gave (5656 ) her space to repent (5661 ) of her fornication ; and she repented (5656 ) not . * Behold (5628 ), I will cast (5719 ) her into a bed , and them that commit adultery (5723 ) with her into great tribulation , except they repent (5661 ) of their deeds . * And I will kill (5692 ) her children with death ; and all the churches shall know (5695 ) that I am (5748 ) he which searcheth (5723 ) the reins and hearts : and I will give (5692 ) unto every one of you according to your works . * But unto you I say (5719 ), and unto the rest in Thyatira , as many as have (5719 ) not this doctrine , and which have not known (5627 ) the depths of Satan , as they speak (5719 ); I will put (5692 ) upon you none other burden . * But that which ye have (5719 ) already hold fast (5657 ) till I come (5661 ). * And he that overcometh (5723 ), and keepeth (5723 ) my works unto the end , to him will I give (5692 ) power over the nations : * And he shall rule (5692 ) them with a rod of iron ; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers (5743 ): even as I received (5758 ) of my Father . * And I will give (5692 ) him the morning star . * He that hath (5723 ) an ear , let him hear (5657 ) what the Spirit saith (5719 ) unto the churches . * And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write (5657 ); These things saith (5719 ) he that hath (5723 ) the seven Spirits of God , and the seven stars ; I know (5758 ) thy works , that thou hast (5719 ) a name that thou livest (5719 ), and art (5748 ) dead . * Be (5737 ) watchful (5723 ), and strengthen (5657 ) the things which remain , that are (5719 ) ready to die (5629 ): for I have not found (5758 ) thy works perfect (5772 ) before God . * Remember (5720 ) therefore how thou hast received (5758 ) and heard (5656 ), and hold fast (5720 ), and repent (5657 ). If therefore thou shalt not watch (5661 ), I will come (5692 ) on thee as a thief , and thou shalt not know (5632 ) what hour I will come (5692 ) upon thee . * Thou hast (5719 ) a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled (5656 ) their garments ; and they shall walk (5692 ) with me in white : for they are (5748 ) worthy . * He that overcometh (5723 ), the same shall be clothed (5698 ) in white raiment ; and I will not blot out (5692 ) his name out of the book of life , but I will confess (5698 ) his name before my Father , and before his angels . * He that hath (5723 ) an ear , let him hear (5657 ) what the Spirit saith (5719 ) unto the churches . * And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write (5657 ); These things saith (5719 ) he that is holy , he that is true , he that hath (5723 ) the key of David , he that openeth (5723 ), and no man shutteth (5719 ); and shutteth (5719 ), and no man openeth (5719 ); * I know (5758 ) thy works : behold (5628 ), I have set (5758 ) before thee an open (5772 ) door , and no man can (5736 ) shut (5658 ) it : for thou hast (5719 ) a little strength , and hast kept (5656 ) my word , and hast not denied (5662 ) my name . * Behold (5628 ), I will make (5719 ) them of the synagogue of Satan , which say (5723 ) they are (5750 ) Jews , and are (5748 ) not , but do lie (5727 ); behold (5628 ), I will make (5692 ) them to come (5661 ) and worship (5661 ) before thy feet , and to know (5632 ) that I have loved (5656 ) thee . * Because thou hast kept (5656 ) the word of my patience , I also will keep (5692 ) thee from the hour of temptation , which shall come (5723 ) (5738 ) upon all the world , to try (5658 ) them that dwell (5723 ) upon the earth . * Behold (5628 ), I come (5736 ) quickly : hold that fast (5720 ) which thou hast (5719 ), that no man take (5632 ) thy crown . * Him that overcometh (5723 ) will I make (5692 ) a pillar in the temple of my God , and he shall go (5632 ) no more out : and I will write (5692 ) upon him the name of my God , and the name of the city of my God , which is new Jerusalem , which cometh down (5723 ) (5625 ) (5719 ) out of heaven from my God : and I will write upon him my new name . * He that hath (5723 ) an ear , let him hear (5657 ) what the Spirit saith (5719 ) unto the churches . * And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write (5657 ); These things saith (5719 ) the Amen , the faithful and true witness , the beginning of the creation of God ; * I know (5758 ) thy works , that thou art (5748 ) neither cold nor hot : I would thou wert (5751 ) cold or hot . * So then because thou art (5748 ) lukewarm , and neither cold nor hot , I will (5719 ) spue (5658 ) thee out of my mouth . * Because thou sayest (5719 ), I am (5748 ) rich , and increased with goods (5758 ), and have (5719 ) need of nothing ; and knowest (5758 ) not that thou art (5748 ) wretched , and miserable , and poor , and blind , and naked : * I counsel (5719 ) thee to buy (5658 ) of me gold tried (5772 ) in the fire , that thou mayest be rich (5661 ); and white raiment , that thou mayest be clothed (5643 ), and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear (5686 ); and anoint (5657 ) thine eyes with eyesalve , that thou mayest see (5725 ). * As many as I love (5725 ), I rebuke (5719 ) and chasten (5719 ): be zealous (5657 ) therefore , and repent (5657 ). * Behold (5628 ), I stand (5758 ) at the door , and knock (5719 ): if any man hear (5661 ) my voice , and open (5661 ) the door , I will come in (5695 ) to him , and will sup (5692 ) with him , and he with me . * To him that overcometh (5723 ) will I grant (5692 ) to sit (5658 ) with me in my throne , even as I also overcame (5656 ), and am set down (5656 ) with my Father in his throne . * He that hath (5723 ) an ear , let him hear (5657 ) what the Spirit saith (5719 ) unto the churches . * After this I looked (5627 ), and , behold (5628 ), a door was opened (5772 ) in heaven : and the first voice which I heard (5656 ) was as it were of a trumpet talking (5723 ) with me ; which said (5723 ), Come up (5628 ) hither , and I will shew (5692 ) thee things which must (5748 ) be (5635 ) hereafter .
