Revelation 2:3-20
-
3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
-
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
-
5 Remember therefore from whence 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 his place, except thou repent.
-
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
-
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
-
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
-
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
-
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 a crown of life.
-
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
-
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
-
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
-
14 But I have a few things against thee, 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 things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
-
15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
-
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
-
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
-
18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
-
19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
-
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
