1Unto the angel of the congregation of Ephesus write: These things saith he that holdeth the vij. stars in his right hand, and walketh in the midst of the vij. golden candlesticks.

2I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not forbear them which are evil: and examinedst them which say they are Apostles, and are not: and hast found them liars. 3And hast suffered, and hast patience: and for my name's sake hast laboured and hast not fainted. 4Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, for thou hast left thy first love. 5Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works. Or else I will come unto thee shortly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6But this thou hast because thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which deeds I also hate. 7Let him that hath ears hear, what the spirit saith unto the congregations. To him that overcometh, will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the middes of the paradise of God.

8And unto the angel of the congregation of Smyrna write: These things saith he that is first, and the last, which was dead and is alive.

9I know thy works and tribulation and poverty, but thou art rich: And I know the blasphemy of them which call themselves jewes and are not: but are the congregation of sathan. 10Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil shall cast of you into prison, to tempt you, and ye shall have tribulation x. days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee a crown of life. 11Let him that hath ears hear, what the spirit saith to the congregations: He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

12And to the angel of the congregation in Pergamos write: This saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges.

13I know thy works and where thou dwellest, even where Sathan's seat is, and thou keepest my name and hast not denied my faith. And in my days Antipas was a faithful witness of mine, which was slain among you where sathan dwelleth. 14But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there, they that maintain, the doctrine of Balaam which taught in Balak, to put occasion of sin before the children of Israhell, that they should eat of meat dedicated unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15Even so hast thou them that maintain the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16But repent or else I will come to thee shortly and will fight against them with the sword of my mought. 17Let him that hath ears hear what the spirit sayth unto the congregations: To him that overcometh will I give to eat Manna that is hid, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth, saving he that receiveth it.

18And unto the angel of the congregation of Thiatira write: This sayth the son of God, which hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, whose feet are like brass:

19I know thy works and thy love, service, and faight, and thy patience, and thy deeds, which are more at the last then at the first. 20Not withstanding I have a few things against thee, that thou sufferest that woman Iesabell, which called herself a prophetess to teach and to deceive my servants, to make them commit fornication, and to eat meats offered up unto idols. 21And I gave her space to repent of her fornication and she repented not. 22Behold I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit fornication with her into great adversity, except they repent of their deeds. 23And I will kill her children with death. And all the congregations shall know that I am he which searches the reins and hearts. And I will give unto everyone of you according to your works. 24Unto you I say, and unto other of them of Thiatira as many as have not this learning, and which have not known the deepness of Satan (as they say) I will put upon you none other burden, 25but that which you have already. Hold fast till I come, 26and whosoever overcometh and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over nations, 27and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and as the vessels of a potter, shall he break them to shivers. Even as I received of my father. 28And I will give him the morning star. 29Let him that hath ears hear what the spirit says to the congregations.
