耶稣致以弗所教会的信

“给以弗所教会天使的信,要这样写:

“右手拿着七颗星,走在七个金灯台之间的他说: 我知道你的事迹、辛勤和恒心。我还知道你不能容忍邪恶之人。你考验那些自称是使徒,但实际却不是的人,认出他们只不过是骗子而已。 为了我,你吃苦耐劳,不知疲倦。

“但是,有一件事,我要责备你:你已抛弃了当初的爱心。 想一想,你是在哪儿跌倒的。忏悔吧!当初怎么做,现在还那样做吧!如果你不忏悔,我就要到你这里来,把你的灯台拿走。 不过,你还有一些可取之处,你和我一样憎恨尼哥拉人 [a]的行为。

“有耳能听的人,都应该听听圣灵对教会说的话。对于胜利者,我要给他们权力,吃上帝乐园的生命树的果实。”

耶稣致士每拿教会的信

“给士每拿教会天使的信,要这样写:

“那位即是开始、又是结束、从死里复活的他说: ‘我知道你受苦受穷,但实际上你很富有。我也知道你遭到了自称是犹太人的诽谤(其实他们并不是),他们实际上是撒旦的党羽。 10 不要害怕你将要遭受到的苦难。听着,魔鬼会把你们中的一些人投入监狱,去考验你们。你们要受十天的苦难,但是,你要忠贞不渝,视死如归,我会赐给你永生的桂冠。

11 “有耳能听的人,都应该听圣灵对教会讲的话。获胜的人绝不会受到第二次死亡的伤害。’”

耶稣致别迦摩教会的信

12 “给别迦摩教会天使的信,要这样写:

“有双刃利剑的他说: 13 ‘我知道你住在哪里,你住在撒旦宝座所在之地。我还知道你一直坚持对我的名字的信仰,即使是在我忠实的见证人、安提帕斯在你们的城市里,即撒旦所在之地,被杀害的日子里,你也没有放弃对我的信仰。

14 “然而有些事情我要责备你:你们中间有些人,追随巴兰木的教导。 [b]巴兰木曾教唆巴勒克去引诱以色列人,让他们犯罪,吃祭偶像的食品,并犯有不道德的性行为。 [c] 15 同样,你们中间还有一些人追随尼哥拉的教导。 16 忏悔吧!不然我很快就会到你们这儿来,用我口中的利剑与你们作战。

17 “有耳能听的人,都应该听圣灵对教会说的话。

“我要赐给获胜的人隐藏的吗哪 [d],并赐给他一块白石,上面写着一个新名字,只有得到它的人才能知道那名字是什么。’”

耶稣致推雅推喇教会的信

18 “给推雅推喇教会天使的信,要这样写:

“上帝之子双眼像燃烧的火焰,双脚像闪亮的青铜,他说: 19 我知道你的行为、爱心、信仰、勤劳和耐力。我知道你现在做的事比刚开始时做的要好。 20 然而,有一件事我要责备你:你容忍了那个自称是女先知的耶洗别。她的教唆使我的仆人误入歧途,导致他们淫行堕落,吃祭过偶像的食物。 21 我给了她时间去忏悔,但是,她并没有为自己的淫乱而忏悔。 22 所以我要把她扔在痛苦的床上。那些和她通奸的人,也要遭受到大灾大难,除非他们为自己和她在一起的淫乱行为而忏悔。 23 我要杀死跟随她的人,让所有的教会都知道,我洞悉人们的想法与意识,我要按照你们的行为,报应你们每个人。

24 “你们在推雅推喇其余的人,没有追随邪说,也没有学撒旦所谓的深邃的秘密。我要告诉你们,我不会给你们任何其它的负担, 25 但是,你们一定要坚持你们已有的,直到我的来临。

26 “对于那些获胜的人和一直坚持遵守我的命令到底的人,我要赐给他统治万国的权柄:

27 ‘他将用铁棒来统治他们,
把他们像瓦罐一样打得粉碎。’ (A)

28 就像我从我父亲手中得到这个权力一样,我还要赐给这个人一颗晨星。 29 有耳能听的人,都应该听圣灵对教会所说的话。”

寄信给以弗所

“你要写信给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说: 我知道你的行为、劳碌、忍耐,也知道你不能容忍恶人。你也曾试验那自称为使徒却不是使徒的,看出他们是假的来。 你也能忍耐,曾为我的名劳苦,并不乏倦。

丢了起初的爱心

‘然而,有一件事我要责备你,就是你把起初的爱心离弃了。 所以,应当回想你是从哪里坠落的,并要悔改,行起初所行的事。你若不悔改,我就临到你那里,把你的灯台从原处挪去。 然而,你还有一件可取的事,就是你恨恶尼哥拉一党人的行为,这也是我所恨恶的。 圣灵向众教会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听!得胜的,我必将神乐园中生命树的果子赐给他吃。’

寄信给士每拿

“你要写信给士每拿教会的使者说:‘那首先的、末后的、死过又活的说: 我知道你的患难、你的贫穷,你却是富足的;也知道那自称是犹太人所说的毁谤话,其实他们不是犹太人,乃是撒旦一会的人。

至死忠心必得生命冠冕

10 ‘你将要受的苦你不用怕。魔鬼要把你们中间几个人下在监里,叫你们被试炼,你们必受患难十日。你务要至死忠心,我就赐给你那生命的冠冕。 11 圣灵向众教会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听!得胜的,必不受第二次死的害。’

寄信给别迦摩

12 “你要写信给别迦摩教会的使者说:‘那有两刃利剑的说: 13 我知道你的居所,就是有撒旦座位之处。当我忠心的见证人安提帕在你们中间、撒旦所住的地方被杀之时,你还坚守我的名,没有弃绝我的道。 14 然而,有几件事我要责备你,因为在你那里,有人服从了巴兰的教训。这巴兰曾教导巴勒将绊脚石放在以色列人面前,叫他们吃祭偶像之物,行奸淫的事。 15 你那里也有人照样服从了尼哥拉一党人的教训。

当悔改

16 ‘所以,你当悔改!若不悔改,我就快临到你那里,用我口中的剑攻击他们。 17 圣灵向众教会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听!得胜的,我必将那隐藏的吗哪赐给他,并赐他一块白石,石上写着新名,除了那领受的以外,没有人能认识。’

寄信给推雅推喇

18 “你要写信给推雅推喇教会的使者说:‘那眼目如火焰、脚像光明铜的神之子说: 19 我知道你的行为、爱心、信心、勤劳、忍耐,又知道你末后所行的善事比起初所行的更多。 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我的仆人,引诱他们行奸淫,吃祭偶像之物。 21 我曾给她悔改的机会,她却不肯悔改她的淫行。 22 看哪,我要叫她病卧在床;那些与她行淫的人,若不悔改所行的,我也要叫他们同受大患难。 23 我又要杀死她的党类[a],叫众教会知道我是那察看人肺腑心肠的,并要照你们的行为报应你们各人。

当持守等到主来

24 ‘至于你们推雅推喇其余的人,就是一切不从那教训、不晓得他们素常所说撒旦深奥之理的人,我告诉你们:我不将别的担子放在你们身上; 25 但你们已经有的,总要持守,直等到我来。 26 那得胜又遵守我命令到底的,我要赐给他权柄制伏列国, 27 他必用铁杖辖管[b]他们,将他们如同窑户的瓦器打得粉碎,像我从我父领受的权柄一样。 28 我又要把晨星赐给他。 29 圣灵向众教会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听!’

To the Church in Ephesus

“To the angel[a] of the church in Ephesus(A) write:

These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand(B) and walks among the seven golden lampstands.(C) I know your deeds,(D) your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested(E) those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.(F) You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name,(G) and have not grown weary.

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.(H) Consider how far you have fallen! Repent(I) and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand(J) from its place. But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans,(K) which I also hate.

Whoever has ears, let them hear(L) what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious,(M) I will give the right to eat from the tree of life,(N) which is in the paradise(O) of God.

To the Church in Smyrna

“To the angel of the church in Smyrna(P) write:

These are the words of him who is the First and the Last,(Q) who died and came to life again.(R) I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich!(S) I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not,(T) but are a synagogue of Satan.(U) 10 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you,(V) and you will suffer persecution for ten days.(W) Be faithful,(X) even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.(Y)

11 Whoever has ears, let them hear(Z) what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death.(AA)

To the Church in Pergamum

12 “To the angel of the church in Pergamum(AB) write:

These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword.(AC) 13 I know where you live—where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me,(AD) not even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness,(AE) who was put to death in your city—where Satan lives.(AF)

14 Nevertheless, I have a few things against you:(AG) There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam,(AH) who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols(AI) and committed sexual immorality.(AJ) 15 Likewise, you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.(AK) 16 Repent(AL) therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.(AM)

17 Whoever has ears, let them hear(AN) what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious,(AO) I will give some of the hidden manna.(AP) I will also give that person a white stone with a new name(AQ) written on it, known only to the one who receives it.(AR)

To the Church in Thyatira

18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira(AS) write:

These are the words of the Son of God,(AT) whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.(AU) 19 I know your deeds,(AV) your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.

20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel,(AW) who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.(AX) 21 I have given her time(AY) to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.(AZ) 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery(BA) with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. 23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds,(BB) and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.(BC)

24 Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, ‘I will not impose any other burden on you,(BD) 25 except to hold on to what you have(BE) until I come.’(BF)

26 To the one who is victorious(BG) and does my will to the end,(BH) I will give authority over the nations(BI) 27 that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter(BJ) and will dash them to pieces like pottery’[b](BK)—just as I have received authority from my Father. 28 I will also give that one the morning star.(BL) 29 Whoever has ears, let them hear(BM) what the Spirit says to the churches.
