2I know thy works and thy labour and thy patience and how thou canst not bear them that are evil. And thou hast tried them who say they are apostles and are not: and hast found them liars:Select Revelation 2:2

3And thou hast patience and hast endured for my name and hast not fainted.Select Revelation 2:3

4But I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first charity.Select Revelation 2:4

5Be mindful therefore from whence thou art fallen: and do penance and do the first works. Or else I come to thee and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou do penance.Select Revelation 2:5

6But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaites, which I also hate.Select Revelation 2:6

8And to the angel of the church of Smyrna write: These things saith the First and the Last, who was dead and is alive:Select Revelation 2:8

9I know thy tribulation and thy poverty: but thou art rich. And thou art blasphemed by them that say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.Select Revelation 2:9

14But I have against thee a few things: 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 and to commit fornication.Select Revelation 2:14

15So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaites.Select Revelation 2:15

16In like manner do penance. If not, I will come to thee quickly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.Select Revelation 2:16

18And to the angel of the church of Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like to a flame of fire and his feet like to fine brass.Select Revelation 2:18

23And I will kill her children with death: and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts. And I will give to every one of you according to your works. But to you I saySelect Revelation 2:23

24And to the rest who are at Thyatira: Whosoever have not this doctrine and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say: I will not put upon you any other burthen.Select Revelation 2:24

26And he that shall overcome and keep my works unto the end, I will give him power over the nations.Select Revelation 2:26
