Etheridge - Revelation of John - 2

2:1  To the angel of the church which is in Ephesos, write: These saith the Holder of all, and of the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven candlesticks of gold.

2:2  I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and (that) thou canst not bear evils; and hast tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.

2:3  And thou hast patience, and hast laboured on account of my name, and hast not fainted.

2:4  But I have against thee, because thy first love thou hast forsaken.

2:5  Remember, therefore, from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works. But if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick from its place, if thou convert not.

2:6  But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nikolitu, which also I (hate).

2:7  He who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him who overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God.

2:8  And to the angel of the church which is in Smurna, write: These saith the First and the Last, who was dead, and liveth.

2:9  I know thy works, and affliction, and poverty, but thou art rich; and the blasphemy of them who say of themselves that they are Jihudoyee, and are not, but the synagogue of Satana.

2:10  Fear not any thing of those that thou art to suffer; for, behold, it will be that the accuser will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you will have affliction ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

2:11  He who hath ears, let him hear what saith the Spirit to the churches. He who overcometh shall not be injured by the second death.

2:12  And to the angel of the church which is in Pergamos, write: These saith he who hath the sharp sword with two edges.

2:13  I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, where (is) the throne of Satana; and thou hast held my name, and not denied my faith in those days when my witness was exposed, my faithful one, who was killed with you where dwelleth Satana.

2:14  But I have against thee a little, because thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Belam, who taught Balok to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat that which the sons of idols (eat), and to commit fornication.

2:15  So hast thou who hold the doctrine of the Nikolitu: of it,

2:16  in like (manner), repent; and if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will war against them with the sword of my mouth.

2:17  He who hath ears, let him hear what saith the Spirit to the churches. To him who overcometh will I give to eat of the manna which is hidden; and I will give to him the white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth but he who receiveth.

2:18  And to the angel and church which is in Thiatiros, write: These saith the Son of Aloha, who hath his eyes as the flame of fire, and his feet like refined brass.

2:19  I know thy works, and thy love and faith and service; and also thy patience, and thy last works to be greater than the first.

2:20  But I have against thee that thou permittest thy wife Izabel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat what the sons of idols (eat).

2:21  And I gave her time when she might convert, and she willed not to repent of her fornication.

2:22  Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who have committed adultery with her into great affliction, if they repent not of their works.

2:23  And her sons will I kill with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you every one according to your works.

2:24  But to you I say, to those of the rest who are in Thiatiros, all them who have not this doctrine, the men who know not the depths Of Satana, as they speak; I will not throw upon you another burden;

2:25  but that which you have, hold, until I come.

2:26  And he who conquereth, and he who keepeth until the end my works, I will give to him power over the peoples,

2:27  and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and as a vessel of the potter shall they be destroyed, as also I have received from my Father;

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

2:29  He who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
