2Revelation 2

1“To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: “He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lamp stands says these things:Select Revelation 2:1

2“I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.Select Revelation 2:2

3You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.Select Revelation 2:3

4But I have this against you, that you left your first love.Select Revelation 2:4

5Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.Select Revelation 2:5

6But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.Select Revelation 2:6

7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.Select Revelation 2:7

8“To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:Select Revelation 2:8

9“I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.Select Revelation 2:9

10Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.Select Revelation 2:10

11He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be harmed by the second death.Select Revelation 2:11

12“To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:Select Revelation 2:12

13“I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn’t deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.Select Revelation 2:13

14But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.Select Revelation 2:14

15So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.Select Revelation 2:15

16Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.Select Revelation 2:16

17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.Select Revelation 2:17

18“To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:Select Revelation 2:18

19“I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.Select Revelation 2:19

20But I have this against you, that you tolerate yourwoman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.Select Revelation 2:20

21I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.Select Revelation 2:21

22Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.Select Revelation 2:22

23I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.Select Revelation 2:23

24But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as don’t have this teaching, who don’t know what some call ‘the deep things of Satan,’ to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.Select Revelation 2:24

25Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.Select Revelation 2:25

26He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.Select Revelation 2:26

27He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots;as I also have received of my Father:Select Revelation 2:27

28and I will give him the morning star.Select Revelation 2:28

29He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.Select Revelation 2:29
