Message to Ephesus

1 “To the angel ^G32 of the church ^G1577 in Ephesus ^G2181 write ^G1125:

The One who holds ^G2902 the seven ^G2033 stars ^G792 in His right ^G1188 hand ^G1188, the One who walks ^G4043 [fn]among ^G1722 G3319 the seven ^G2033 golden ^G5552 lampstands ^G3087, says ^G3004 this ^G3592:

2 ‘I know ^G6063 your deeds ^G2041 and your labor ^G2873 and [fn]perseverance ^G5281, and that you cannot ^G1410 G3756 tolerate ^G941 evil ^G2556 people ^G2556, and you have put ^G3985 those ^G3588 who call ^G3004 themselves ^G1438 apostles ^G652 to ^G3985 the ^G3985 test ^G3985, and they are not, and you found ^G2147 them to be false ^G5571;

3 and you have ^G2192 [fn]perseverance ^G5281 and have endured ^G941 on ^G1223 account ^G1223 of ^G1223 My name ^G3686, and have not become ^G2872 weary ^G2872. 4 But I have ^G2192 this against ^G2596 you, that you have left ^G863 your first ^G4413 love ^G26. 5 Therefore ^G3767, remember ^G3421 from where ^G4159 you have fallen ^G4098, and repent ^G3340, and do ^G4160 the [fn]deeds ^G2041 you did at first ^G4413; or ^G1161 else ^G1490 I am coming ^G2064 to you and I will remove ^G2795 your lampstand ^G3087 from its place ^G5117—unless ^G1437 G3361 you repent ^G3340. 6 But you have ^G2192 this ^G3778, that you hate ^G3404 the deeds ^G2041 of the Nicolaitans ^G3531, which ^G3739 I also ^G2532 hate ^G3404. 7 The one who has ^G2192 an ear ^G3775, let him hear ^G191 what ^G5101 the Spirit ^G4151 says ^G3004 to the churches ^G1577. To the one who overcomes ^G3528, I will grant ^G1325 to eat ^G2068 from the tree ^G3586 of life ^G2222, which ^G3739 is in the Paradise ^G3857 of God ^G2316.’

Message to Smyrna

8 “And to the angel ^G32 of the church ^G1577 in Smyrna ^G4667 write ^G1125:

The first ^G4413 and the last ^G2078, who ^G3739 [fn]was dead ^G3498, and has come ^G2198 to ^G2198 life ^G2198, says ^G3004 this ^G3592:

9 ‘I know ^G6063 your tribulation ^G2347 and your poverty ^G4432 (but you are rich ^G4145), and the [fn]slander ^G988 by those ^G3588 who say ^G3004 they are Jews ^G2453, and are not, but are a synagogue ^G4864 of Satan ^G4567.

10 Do not fear ^G5399 what ^G3739 you are about ^G3195 to ^G3195 suffer ^G3958. Behold ^G2400, the devil ^G1228 is about ^G3195 to ^G3195 throw ^G906 some of you into prison ^G5438, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 you will be tested ^G3985, and you will have ^G2192 tribulation ^G2347 for ten ^G1176 days ^G2250. [fn]Be faithful ^G4103 until ^G891 death ^G2288, and I will give ^G1325 you the crown ^G4735 of life ^G2222. 11 The one who has ^G2192 an ear ^G3775, let him hear ^G191 what ^G5101 the Spirit ^G4151 says ^G3004 to the churches ^G1577. The one who overcomes ^G3528 will not be hurt ^G91 by the second ^G1208 death ^G2288.’

Message to Pergamum

12 “And to the angel ^G32 of the church ^G1577 in Pergamum ^G4010 write ^G1125:

The One who has ^G2192 the sharp ^G3691 two-edged ^G1366 sword ^G4501 says ^G3004 this ^G3592:

13 ‘I know ^G6063 where ^G4226 you dwell ^G2730, where ^G3699 Satan’s ^G4567 throne ^G2362 is; and you hold ^G2902 firmly ^G2902 to My name ^G3686, and did not deny ^G720 My faith ^G4102 even ^G2532 in the days ^G2250 of Antipas ^G493, My witness ^G3144, My faithful ^G4103 one ^G4103, who ^G3739 was killed ^G615 among ^G3844 you, where ^G3699 Satan ^G4567 dwells ^G2730.

14 But I have ^G2192 a few ^G3641 things ^G3641 against ^G2596 you, because ^G3754 you have ^G2192 some there ^G1563 who hold ^G2902 the teaching ^G1322 of Balaam ^G903, who ^G3739 kept teaching ^G1321 Balak ^G904 to put ^G906 a [fn]stumbling ^G4625 block ^G4625 before ^G1799 the sons ^G5207 of Israel ^G2474, to eat ^G2068 things ^G1494 sacrificed ^G1494 to ^G1494 idols ^G1494 and to commit ^G4203 sexual ^G4203 immorality ^G4203. 15 So ^G3779 you too ^G2532, have ^G2192 some who in the same ^G3668 way ^G3668 hold ^G2902 to the teaching ^G1322 of the Nicolaitans ^G3531. 16 Therefore ^G3767 repent ^G3340; or ^G1161 else ^G1490 I am coming ^G2064 to you quickly ^G5035, and I will wage ^G4170 war ^G4170 against ^G3326 them with the sword ^G4501 of My mouth ^G4750. 17 The one who has ^G2192 an ear ^G3775, let him hear ^G191 what ^G5101 the Spirit ^G4151 says ^G3004 to the churches ^G1577. To the one who overcomes ^G3528, I will give ^G1325 some of the hidden ^G2928 manna ^G3131, and I will give ^G1325 him a white ^G3022 stone ^G5586, and a new ^G2537 name ^G3686 written ^G1125 on the stone ^G5586 which ^G3739 no ^G3762 one ^G3762 knows ^G6063 except ^G1508 the one who receives ^G2983 it.’

Message to Thyatira

18 “And to the angel ^G32 of the church ^G1577 in Thyatira ^G2363 write ^G1125:

The Son ^G5207 of God ^G2316, who has ^G2192 [fn]eyes ^G3788 like ^G5613 a flame ^G5395 of fire ^G4442, and [fn]feet ^G4228 like ^G3664 burnished ^G5474 bronze ^G5474, says ^G3004 this ^G3592:

19 ‘I know ^G6063 your deeds ^G2041, and your love ^G26 and faith ^G4102, and service ^G1248 and [fn]perseverance ^G5281, and that your [fn]deeds ^G2041 of late ^G2078 are greater ^G4183 than [fn]at first ^G4413.

20 But I have ^G2192 this against ^G2596 you, that you tolerate ^G863 the woman ^G1135 Jezebel ^G2403, who calls ^G3004 herself ^G1438 a prophetess ^G4398, and she teaches ^G1321 and leads ^G4105 My bond-servants ^G1401 astray ^G4105 so that they commit ^G4203 sexual ^G4203 immorality ^G4203 and eat ^G2068 things ^G1494 sacrificed ^G1494 to ^G1494 idols ^G1494. 21 I gave ^G1325 her time ^G5550 to repent ^G3340, and she does not want ^G2309 to repent ^G3340 of her sexual ^G4202 immorality ^G4202. 22 Behold ^G2400, I will throw ^G906 her on a bed ^G2825 of sickness, and those ^G3588 who commit ^G3431 adultery ^G3431 with her into great ^G3173 tribulation ^G2347, unless ^G1437 G3361 they repent ^G3340 of [fn]her deeds ^G2041. 23 And I will kill ^G615 her children ^G5043 with [fn]plague ^G2288, and all ^G3956 the churches ^G1577 will know ^G1097 that I am ^G1510 He who searches ^G2045 the [fn]minds ^G3510 and hearts ^G2588; and I will give ^G1325 to each ^G1538 one ^G1538 of you according ^G2596 to your deeds ^G2041. 24 But I say ^G3004 to you, the rest ^G3062 who are in Thyatira ^G2363, who ^G3745 do not hold ^G2192 this ^G3778 teaching ^G1322, who ^G3748 have not known ^G1097 the deep ^G901 things ^G901 of Satan ^G4567, as they call ^G3004 them—I place ^G906 no ^G3756 other ^G243 burden ^G922 on you. 25 Nevertheless ^G4133 what ^G3739 you have ^G2192, hold ^G2902 firmly ^G2902 until ^G891 I come ^G2240. 26 The one who overcomes ^G3528, and the one who keeps ^G5083 My deeds ^G2041 until ^G891 the end ^G5056, I will give ^G1325 him authority ^G1849 over ^G1909 the [fn]nations ^G1484; 27 AND HE SHALL [fn]RULE ^G4165 THEM WITH A ROD ^G4464 OF IRON ^G4603, AS THE VESSELS ^G4632 OF THE POTTER ^G2764 ARE SHATTERED ^G4937, as I also ^G2532 have received ^G2983 authority from My Father ^G3962; 28 and I will give ^G1325 him the morning ^G4407 star ^G792. 29 The one who has ^G2192 an ear ^G3775, let him hear ^G191 what ^G5101 the Spirit ^G4151 says ^G3004 to the churches ^G1577.’
