(“) To the angel of the church in Ephesus write : These (are) the words of Him who holds the seven stars in His - right hand - (and) walks vvv among the seven - golden lampstands.
I know your - deeds , - your - labor , and (your) perseverance. (I know) that vvv you cannot tolerate (those who are) evil , and you have tested and exposed - as liars those who vvv vvv falsely claim to be apostles.
Without ... growing weary , - you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My - name.
But I have this against you : You have abandoned your - first - love.
Therefore , keep in mind how far you have fallen. - Repent and perform the deeds (you did) at first. But if vvv vvv vvv you do not repent , I will come to you and remove your - lampstand from its - place.
But you have this (to your credit) : You hate the works of the Nicolaitans , which I also hate.
He who has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the (one who) overcomes , I will grant (the right) ... to eat from the tree - of life - - in the Paradise - of God.
- To the angel of the church in Smyrna write : These (are) the words of the First and the Last , who died ... and returned to life.
I know your - affliction and (your) poverty — though you are rich ! And (I am aware of) the slander of those who - - - falsely claim to be Jews , but (are in fact) a synagogue - of Satan.
{Do} not fear what you are about to suffer. Look , the devil is about to throw (some) of you into prison to test you , and you will suffer tribulation (for) ten days. Be faithful (even) unto death , and I will give you the crown - of life.
He who has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The (one who) overcomes vvv vvv will not be harmed by the - second death.
- To the angel of the church in Pergamum write : These (are) the words of the (One who) holds the - sharp , - double-edged sword.

But I have a few things against you , because (some) of you hold to the teaching of Balaam , who taught - Balak to place a stumbling block before the vvv Israelites so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.
vvv In the same way , (some of) you also - hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
Therefore repent ! Otherwise ... ... I will come to you shortly and wage war against them with the sword of My - mouth.

I know your - deeds — - your - love , - (your) faith , - (your) service , - (your) perseverance — and your - latter - deeds (are) greater than (your) first.
But I have (this) against you - : You tolerate that woman Jezebel , who calls herself a prophetess. - By her teaching - she misleads My - servants to be sexually immoral and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
Even (though) I have given her time to repent of her - immorality , - vvv she is unwilling -.
Behold , I will cast her onto a bed of sickness , and those who commit adultery with her (will suffer) great tribulation unless ... they repent of her - deeds.
Then I will strike her - children - dead , and all the churches will know that I am the (One who) searches minds and hearts , and I will repay each of you according to your - deeds.
But I say to (the) rest of you - in Thyatira , who {do} not hold to (her) - teaching (and) {have} not learned the vvv so-called deep things - of Satan : I will place no further burden upon you.
Nevertheless , hold fast to what you have until - - I come.
And to the (one who) overcomes and - continues {in} My - work until (the) end , I will give - authority over the nations.
- He will rule them with an iron scepter (and) shatter (them) like - vvv vvv pottery — just as I have received (authority) from - My Father.
And I will give him the - morning star.
He who has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (’’)
