1 To the angel of the church in Ephesus say: These things says he who has the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the middle of the seven gold lights:2 I have knowledge of your doings, and of your hard work and long waiting, and that you will not put up with evil men, and have put to the test those who say they are Apostles and are not, and have seen that they are false;3 And you have the power of waiting, and have undergone trouble because of my name, without weariness.4 But I have this against you, that you are turned away from your first love.5 So keep in mind where you were at first, and be changed in heart and do the first works; or I will come to you, and will take away your light from its place, if your hearts are not changed.6 But at least you have the credit of hating the works of the Nicolaitans, as I do.7 He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.8 And to the angel of the church in Smyrna say: These things says the first and the last, who was dead and is living:9 I have knowledge of your troubles and how poor you are (but you have true wealth), and the evil words of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a Synagogue of Satan.10 Have no fear of the things which you will have to undergo: see, the Evil One will send some of you into prison, so that you may be put to the test; and you will have great trouble for ten days. Be true till death, and I will give you the crown of life.11 He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second death.12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos say: These things says he who has the sharp two-edged sword:13 I have knowledge that your living-place is where Satan has his seat: and you are true to my name, and were not turned away from your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my true witness, who was put to death among you, where Satan has his place.14 But I have some things against you, because you have with you those who keep the teaching of Balaam, by whose suggestion Balak made the children of Israel go out of the right way, taking food which was offered to false gods, and going after the desires of the flesh.15 And you have those who keep the teaching of the Nicolaitans.16 See, then, that you have a change of heart; or I will come to you quickly, and will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.17 He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the secret manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name, of which no one has knowledge but he to whom it is given.18 And to the angel of the church in Thyatira say: These things says the Son of God, whose eyes are like a flame of fire, and his feet like polished brass:19 I have knowledge of your works, and your love and faith and help and strength in trouble, and that your last works are more than the first.20 But I have this against you, that you let the woman Jezebel say she is a prophet and give false teaching, making my servants go after the desires of the flesh and take food offered to false gods.21 And I gave her time for a change of heart, but she has no mind to give up her unclean ways.22 See, I will put her into a bed, and those who make themselves unclean with her, into great trouble, if they go on with her works.23 And I will put her children to death; and all the churches will see that I am he who makes search into the secret thoughts and hearts of men: and I will give to every one of you the reward of your works.24 But to you I say, to the rest in Thyatira, even to those who have not this teaching, and have no knowledge of the secrets of Satan, as they say; I put on you no other weight.25 But what you have, keep safe till I come.26 He who overcomes, and keeps my works to the end, to him I will give rule over the nations,27 And he will be ruling them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of the potter they will be broken, even as I have power from my Father:28 And I will give him the morning star.29 He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

1 Angelo Ephesi ecclesi scribe : Hc dicit, qui tenet septem stellas in dextera sua, qui ambulat in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum : 2 Scio opera tua, et laborem, et patientiam tuam, et quia non potes sustinere malos : et tentasti eos, qui se dicunt apostolos esse, et non sunt : et invenisti eos mendaces : 3 et patientiam habes, et sustinuisti propter nomen meum, et non defecisti. 4 Sed habeo adversum te, quod caritatem tuam primam reliquisti. 5 Memor esto itaque unde excideris : et age pnitentiam, et prima opera fac : sin autem, venio tibi, et movebo candelabrum tuum de loco suo, nisi pnitentiam egeris. 6 Sed hoc habes, quia odisti facta Nicolaitarum, qu et ego odi. 7 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis : Vincenti dabo edere de ligno vit, quod est in paradiso Dei mei.8 Et angelo Smyrn ecclesi scribe : Hc dicit primus, et novissimus, qui fuit mortuus, et vivit : 9 Scio tribulationem tuam, et paupertatem tuam, sed dives es : et blasphemaris ab his, qui se dicunt Judos esse, et non sunt, sed sunt synagoga Satan. 10 Nihil horum timeas qu passurus es. Ecce missurus est diabolus aliquos ex vobis in carcerem ut tentemini : et habebitis tribulationem diebus decem. Esto fidelis usque ad mortem, et dabo tibi coronam vit. 11 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis : Qui vicerit, non ldetur a morte secunda.12 Et angelo Pergami ecclesi scribe : Hc dicit qui habet rhompham utraque parte acutam : 13 Scio ubi habitas, ubi sedes est Satan : et tenes nomen meum, et non negasti fidem meam. Et in diebus illis Antipas testis meus fidelis, qui occisus est apud vos ubi Satanas habitat. 14 Sed habeo aversus te pauca : quia habes illic tenentes doctrinam Balaam, qui docebat Balac mittere scandalum coram filiis Isral, edere, et fornicari : 15 ita habes et tu tenentes doctrinam Nicolaitarum. 16 Similiter pnitentiam age : si quominus veniam tibi cito, et pugnabo cum illis in gladio oris mei. 17 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis : Vincenti dabo manna absconditum, et dabo illi calculum candidum : et in calculo nomen novum scriptum, quod nemo scit, nisi qui accipit.18 Et angelo Thyatir ecclesi scribe : Hc dicit Filius Dei, qui habet oculos tamquam flammam ignis, et pedes ejus similes auricalco : 19 Novi opera tua, et fidem, et caritatem tuam, et ministerium, et patientiam tuam, et opera tua novissima plura prioribus. 20 Sed habeo adversus te pauca : quia permittis mulierem Jezabel, qu se dicit propheten, docere, et seducere servos meos, fornicari, et manducare de idolothytis. 21 Et dedi illi tempus ut pnitentiam ageret : et non vult pnitere a fornicatione sua. 22 Ecce mittam eam in lectum : et qui mchantur cum ea, in tribulatione maxima erunt, nisi pnitentiam ab operibus suis egerint. 23 Et filios ejus interficiam in morte, et scient omnes ecclesi, quia ego sum scrutans renes, et corda : et dabo unicuique vestrum secundum opera sua. Vobis autem dico, 24 et ceteris qui Thyatir estis : quicumque non habent doctrinam hanc, et qui non cognoverunt altitudines Satan, quemadmodum dicunt, non mittam super vos aliud pondus : 25 tamen id quod habetis, tenete donec veniam. 26 Et qui vicerit, et custodierit usque in finem opera mea, dabo illi potestatem super gentes, 27 et reget eas in virga ferrea, et tamquam vas figuli confringentur, 28 sicut et ego accepi a Patre meo : et dabo illi stellam matutinam. 29 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis.
