Revelation 2

1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write These things saith he that holdeth the 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 somewhatagainst 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 his place except thou repent

6 But this thou hast that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans 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 and the last which was dead and is alive

9 I know thy works and tribulation and poverty (but thou art rich and I knowthe blasphemy of them which say they are Jews and are not but arethe synagogue of Satan

10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer behold the devil shall cast someof 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 evenwhere Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name and hast not denied my faith even in those days wherein Antipas wasmy 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 Nicolaitans 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 arelike fine brass

19 I know thy works and charity and service and faith and thy patience and thy works and the last to bemore 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 commit fornication 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 he which 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 alreadyhold 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

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
