1 "你要写信给在以弗所教会的使者， 说： ‘那右手拿着七星， 在七个金灯台中间行走的， 这样说：
2 我知道你的行为、你的劳苦、你的忍耐， 也知道你不能容忍恶人。你也曾经试验那些自称是使徒， 而其实不是使徒的人， 看出他们是假的。
3 你有忍耐， 曾为我的名的缘故忍受一切， 并不困倦。
4 然而有一件事我要责备你， 就是你已经离弃了你起初的爱。
5 所以， 你应当回想你是从哪里坠落的， 并且要悔改， 作起初所作的事。你若不悔改， 我就要来到你那里， 把你的灯台从原处移去。
6 不过你有这一个优点， 就是你恨恶尼哥拉党的作为， 那也是我所恨恶的。
7 圣灵向众教会所说的话， 有耳的就应当听。得胜的， 我必定把 神乐园里生命树的果子赐给他吃。’
8 "你要写信给在士每拿教会的使者， 说： ‘那首先的、末后的、曾经死去而又活过来的， 这样说：
9 我知道你的患难和贫穷， 但你却是富足的。我也知道那些自称是犹太人所说毁谤的话， 其实他们不是犹太人， 而是撒但的党徒。
10 你不要怕你将要受的苦。看哪！ 魔鬼将要把你们中间几个人下在监里， 叫你们受试炼， 你们要受患难十天。你要忠心至死， 我就把那生命的冠冕赐给你。
11 圣灵向众教会所说的话， 有耳的就应当听。得胜的， 决不会受第二次死的害。’
12 "你要写信给在别迦摩教会的使者， 说： ‘那有一把两刃利剑的， 这样说：
13 我知道你居住的地方， 就是撒但王座所在的地方。当我忠心的见证人安提帕在你们那里， 就是在撒但居住的地方被杀的那些日子， 你还持守我的名， 没有否认对我的信仰。
14 然而有几件事我要责备你， 因为在你那里有些人持守巴兰的教训。这巴兰曾经教导巴勒把绊脚石放在以色列人面前， 叫他们吃祭过偶像的食物， 并且行淫乱。
15 同样， 你也有些人持守尼哥拉党的教训。
16 所以， 你应当悔改； 如果不悔改， 我就很快地来到你们那里， 用我口中的剑跟他们作战。
17 圣灵向众教会所说的话， 有耳的就应当听。得胜的， 我必定把那隐藏的吗哪赐给他， 并且赐他一块白石， 石上写着新的名字， 这名字除了那领受的人以外， 是没有人能知道的。’
18 "你要写信给在推雅推拉教会的使者， 说： ‘ 神的儿子， 那眼睛像火焰、两脚像光铜的， 这样说：
19 我知道你的行为， 你的爱心、信心、服侍和忍耐， 也知道你后来所作的比先前的还要多。
20 然而有一件事我要责备你， 就是你容让那自称是先知的妇人耶洗别， 教导和引诱我的众仆人行淫乱， 吃祭过偶像的食物。
21 我曾给她时间， 让她悔改， 她却不肯为她的淫行悔改。
22 看哪， 我要把她拋在大患难的床上； 那些跟她行淫乱的人， 如果不为她的行为悔改， 我也要把他们拋在大患难中。
23 我必以死亡击杀她的儿女； 众教会就都知道我是察验人肺腑心肠的， 我要照着你们的行为报应你们各人。
24 至于你们其余在推雅推拉的人， 就是不跟从那教训， 不认识所谓撒但深奥的事的人， 我告诉你们， 我不会把别的重担放在你们身上。
25 不过， 你们要持守已经得着的， 直到我来。
26 得胜的， 又遵守我的旨意到底的， 我必把统治列国的权柄赐给他，
27 他必用铁杖治理他们， 好像打碎陶器一样粉碎他们， （"我必把......粉碎他们"引自诗2:8-9）
28 好像我从父领受了权柄一样； 我还要把晨星赐给他。
29 圣灵向众教会所说的话， 有耳的就应当听。’"
1 To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:
These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, he that walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks: 2 I know thy works, and thy toil and patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men, and didst try them that call themselves apostles, and they are not, and didst find them false; 3 and thou hast patience and didst bear for my name’s sake, and hast not grown weary. 4 But I have this against thee, that thou didst leave thy first love. 5 Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou repent. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
8 And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write:
These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and lived again: 9 I know thy tribulation, and thy poverty (but thou art rich), and the blasphemy of them that say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to 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. 11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write:
These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword: 13 I know where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s throne is; and thou holdest fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwelleth. 14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there some that hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast thou also some that hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans in like manner. 16 Repent therefore; or else I come to thee quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.
18 And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write:
These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like unto burnished brass: 19 I know thy works, and thy love and faith and ministry and patience, and that thy last works are more than the first. 20 But I have this against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time that she should repent; and she willeth not to repent of her fornication. 22 Behold, I cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of her works. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto each one of you according to your works. 24 But to you I say, to the rest that are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who know not the deep things of Satan, as they are wont to say; I cast upon you none other burden. 25 Nevertheless that which ye have, hold fast till I come. 26 And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the nations: 27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to shivers; as I also have received of my Father: 28 and I will give him the morning star. 29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
