Jubilee2000 - Revelation of John - 2

2:1  Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things, saith he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks 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 those who are evil; and thou hast tried those who say they are apostles and are not and hast found them liars,

2:3  and hast suffered, and doth suffer and for my name's sake hast laboured and hast not fainted.

2:4  Nevertheless I have against thee that thou hast left thy first [love], charity.

2:5  Remember, therefore, from where 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 its place, except thou repent.

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

2:7  He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcomes I will 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 of Smyrna write: These things, saith the first and the last, who 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 those who 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 the crown of life.

2:11  He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.

2:12  And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things, saith he, who has the sharp sword with two edges:

2:13  I know thy works and where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan's throne [is], and thou holdest fast my name and hast not denied my faith, even in those days in which Antipas [was] my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwellest.

2:14  But I have a few things against thee because thou hast there those that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols and to commit fornication.

2:15  So hast thou also those that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which 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 has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcomes I will give to eat of the hidden manna and will give him a small white stone and in the stone a new name written, which no one knows except the one that receives [it].

2:18  And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things, saith the Son of God, who has his eyes like unto a flame of fire and his feet like unto brilliant metal:

2:19  I have known 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 (who calls herself a prophetess) to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

2:21  And I have given her time to repent of her fornication, and she repented not.

2:22  Behold, I will cast her into a bed and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation unless 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 that searches the kidneys and hearts, and I will give unto each one of you according to your works.

2:24  But unto you I say and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine and who have not known the depths of Satan (as they say); I will put upon you no other burden

2:25  But that which ye have [already] hold fast until I come.

2:26  And he that overcomes and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the Gentiles;

2:27  and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter they shall 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 has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.:
