 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;
 2:2  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:
 2:3  And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake
hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
 2:4  Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou
hast left thy first love.
 2:5  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.
 2:6  But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the
Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
 2:7  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.
 2:8  And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These
things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is
alive;
 2:9  I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou
art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are
Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.
 2:10  Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer:
behold, the devil shall cast [some] 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 thee a crown of life.
 2:11  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.
 2:12  And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These
things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
 2:13  I know thy works and where thou dwellest, [even] where
Satan's seat [is]: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not
denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas [was] my
faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
 2:14  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.
 2:15  So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the
Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
 2:16  Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will
fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
 2:17  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].
 2:18  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 [are] like fine brass;
 2:19  I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith,
and thy patience, and thy works; and the last [to be] more than
the first.
 2:20  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.
 2:21  And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and
she repented not.
 2:22  Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit
adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of
their deeds.
 2:23  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.
 2:24  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.
 2:25  But that which ye have [already] hold fast till I come.
 2:26  And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the
end, to him will I give power over the nations:
 2:27  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.
 2:28  And I will give him the morning star.
 2:29  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches.
