Revelation:2-3
bwe@Revelation:2:1 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Ephesus: Here are the words of the one who holds the seven stars in his hand, the one who walks among the seven gold lamps.
bwe@Revelation:2:2 @ He says, "I know the things you do. I know that you work hard and are patient. I know that you have nothing to do with bad men. You tested those who say they are messengers from God but are not. You proved that they are not true apostles.
bwe@Revelation:2:3 @ I know that you are patient and are strong for my names sake. And you have not given up.
bwe@Revelation:2:4 @ But here is what I say against you. You do not love as you loved at first.
bwe@Revelation:2:5 @ So remember what you were like at first. Stop! Live the way you did at first. If you do not, I will come and move your lamp from its place. I will do it if you do not stop.
bwe@Revelation:2:6 @ But this is good: you hate the things which the people called Nicolaitans do. I hate the things they do also."
bwe@Revelation:2:7 @ He who can hear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. He says, "I will let the person who wins eat fruit from the tree of life. It grows in Gods garden."
bwe@Revelation:2:8 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Smyrna: Here are the words of the one who is the First and the Last. He is the one who died but lived again.
bwe@Revelation:2:9 @ He says, "I know the things you do and the trouble you have. I know you are poor. But you are rich in some ways. I know some people do not respect God. They call themselves Jews. But they are not real Jews. They belong to Satans people.
bwe@Revelation:2:10 @ Do not be afraid of the troubles you will have. Yes, the devil will put some of you into prison where you will be tested. You will have trouble for ten days. But keep on believing, even if you have to die for it. I will give you life for ever."
bwe@Revelation:2:11 @ He who can hear should listen to the message of the Spirit to the churches. He says, "The person who wins will not be hurt by the second death."
bwe@Revelation:2:12 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Pergamum: Here are the words of the one who has the long knife which is sharp on both sides.
bwe@Revelation:2:13 @ He says, "I know where you live. You live where Satan rules. But you keep my name and you have never said that you do not believe in me. You kept on believing in me even in the time of Antipas. He said he believed in me and was true to me. He was killed among you where Satan lives.
bwe@Revelation:2:14 @ But I have a few things to say against you. You have some people there who believe the teaching of Balaam. He showed Balak how to trick the people of Israel and make them do wrong. They ate food that was given to idols, and they used sex wrongly.
bwe@Revelation:2:15 @ Also, you have people among you who believe the teaching of the Nicolaitans. I hate the things they do.
bwe@Revelation:2:16 @ Stop! If you do not, I will come soon and I will fight against them with the long knife that comes from my mouth."
bwe@Revelation:2:17 @ He who can hear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. He says, "I will give some of the secret food to the person who wins. And I will give him a white stone. A new name will be written on the stone. No one will know the name but the one who gets the stone."
bwe@Revelation:2:18 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Thyatira: Here are the words of the Son of God. He is the one whose eyes shine like a flame of fire, and his feet shine like fine brass.
bwe@Revelation:2:19 @ He says, "I know the things you do. I know that you love me, believe in me, work for me, and are patient. I know that you do these things more now than you did at first.
bwe@Revelation:2:20 @ But I have this to say against you. You let that woman named Jezebel keep on teaching. She calls herself a prophet of God but teaches my servants wrong things. She fools them to use sex wrongly and eat food that has been given to idols.
bwe@Revelation:2:21 @ I gave her time to stop, but she will not stop her wrong sexual ways and turn back to God.
bwe@Revelation:2:22 @ Look, I will make her very sick, and also those who love her. I will do it if they do not stop what they are doing with her.
bwe@Revelation:2:23 @ I will kill her children. Then all the churches will know that I find out what is in a persons mind and heart. I will pay each one of you for the good or wrong things you have done.
bwe@Revelation:2:24 @ But some of you in Thyatira do not listen to that womans teaching. You have not learned what some people call the deep things of Satan. To you I say, I will put no other load on you.
bwe@Revelation:2:25 @ The only thing I say to you is to keep on believing until I come.
bwe@Revelation:2:26 @ If a person wins and does what I want him to do until the end, I will make him rule with me over all peoples.
bwe@Revelation:2:27 @ The holy writings said this long ago: He will rule them with an iron stick. He will break them to pieces like pots made of clay. This is the same power as I received from my Father.
bwe@Revelation:2:28 @ And I will give him the morning star."
bwe@Revelation:2:29 @ He who can hear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.
bwe@Revelation:3:1 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Sardis: Here are the words of the one who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars. He says, "I know what you do. People say that you are alive, but you are dead.
bwe@Revelation:3:2 @ Wake up! You still have a little life left in you. Make it stronger before it dies altogether. I have not seen you do anything that looked right to God.
bwe@Revelation:3:3 @ So remember the things you were told and the things you have heard. Obey them. Stop the things you have been doing. If you do not wake up, I will come to you like a thief. You will not know when I will come to you.
bwe@Revelation:3:4 @ But you have a few people in Sardis who have not made their clothes dirty. They will walk with me in white clothes, because they are good enough.
bwe@Revelation:3:5 @ He who wins will wear white clothes. I will not take his name out of the book of life. I will tell his name to my Father and to his angels."
bwe@Revelation:3:6 @ He who can hear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.
bwe@Revelation:3:7 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Philadelphia: Here are the words of the one who is holy and true. He has Davids key. No one will shut what he opens. And no one will open what he shuts.
bwe@Revelation:3:8 @ He says, "I know what you do. Look, I have opened a door in front of you. No one can shut it. I know that you do not have much power. But you have obeyed my word and you have never said you did not believe in me.
bwe@Revelation:3:9 @ Look! I will bring some people who belong to Satans group. They call themselves Jews, but they are not real Jews. They lie. Look, I will make them come and kneel down in front of you. They will know that I have loved you.
bwe@Revelation:3:10 @ You have obeyed my word and been patient. So I will keep you safe in the time of trouble which will come all over the world. It will test the people who live on earth.
bwe@Revelation:3:11 @ I am coming again soon! Hold on to the faith which you have, so that no one will stop you receiving your reward in heaven.
bwe@Revelation:3:12 @ I will make the person who wins become a strong post in the temple of my God. I will keep him strong. He will never leave it again. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of my Gods city. This city is the new Jerusalem. It comes down out of heaven from my God. And I will write my new name on him."
bwe@Revelation:3:13 @ He who can hear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.
bwe@Revelation:3:14 @ Write this to the angel of the church people in Laodicea: Here are the words of the one whose name is Truth. What he says can be trusted. He is the one who began all that God made.
bwe@Revelation:3:15 @ He says, "I know what you do. I know that you are neither cold nor hot. And I wish that you were cold or hot.
bwe@Revelation:3:16 @ So I will spit you out of my mouth, because you are only warm and not hot or cold.
bwe@Revelation:3:17 @ You say, I am rich and have many things. I need nothing. You do not know that you are in trouble and need help. You are poor. You are blind. And you have no clothes to wear.
bwe@Revelation:3:18 @ I tell you what you should do. You should buy from me gold that has been made clean by fire. Then you will be rich. And you should buy from me white clothes to wear. Then people will not see that you have no clothes, and you will not be ashamed. You should buy from me healing oil to put on your eyes. Then you will be able to see.
bwe@Revelation:3:19 @ I tell off and punish the people I love. So get busy and stop doing wrong.
bwe@Revelation:3:20 @ Listen, I stand at the door and knock. If any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him. I will eat with him, and he will eat with me.
bwe@Revelation:3:21 @ He who wins will sit with me on my throne in heaven. I won too, and I sat down with my Father on his throne."
bwe@Revelation:3:22 @ He who can hear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.
bwe@Revelation:4:1 @ After this, I looked and saw a door open in heaven. I heard the same voice that I had heard before. It was like the sound of a horn or trumpet. It said, Come up here. I will show you the things that must happen after this.
