Cartas às sete igrejas da Ásia. Primeira carta, à igreja de Éfeso
2 Escreve ao anjo da igreja que está em Éfeso: Isto diz aquele que tem na sua destra as sete estrelas, que anda no meio dos sete castiçais de ouro:
2 Eu sei as tuas obras, e o teu trabalho, e a tua paciência, e que não podes sofrer os maus; e puseste à prova os que dizem ser apóstolos e o não são e tu os achaste mentirosos; 3 e sofreste e tens paciência; e trabalhaste pelo meu nome e não te cansaste. 4 Tenho, porém, contra ti que deixaste o teu primeiro amor. 5 Lembra-te, pois, de onde caíste, e arrepende-te, e pratica as primeiras obras; quando não, brevemente a ti virei e tirarei do seu lugar o teu castiçal, se não te arrependeres. 6 Tens, porém, isto: que aborreces as obras dos nicolaítas, as quais eu também aborreço. 7 Quem tem ouvidos ouça o que o Espírito diz às igrejas: Ao que vencer, dar-lhe-ei a comer da árvore da vida que está no meio do paraíso de Deus.
Segunda carta, à igreja de Esmirna
8 E ao anjo da igreja que está em Esmirna escreve: Isto diz o Primeiro e o Último, que foi morto e reviveu:
9 Eu sei as tuas obras, e tribulação, e pobreza ( mas tu és rico), e a blasfêmia dos que se dizem judeus e não o são, mas são a sinagoga de Satanás. 10 Nada temas das coisas que hás de padecer. Eis que o diabo lançará alguns de vós na prisão, para que sejais tentados; e tereis uma tribulação de dez dias. Sê fiel até à morte, e dar-te-ei a coroa da vida. 11 Quem tem ouvidos ouça o que o Espírito diz às igrejas: O que vencer não receberá o dano da segunda morte.
Terceira carta, à igreja de Pérgamo
12 E ao anjo da igreja que está em Pérgamo escreve: Isto diz aquele que tem a espada aguda de dois fios:
13 Eu sei as tuas obras, e onde habitas, que é onde está o trono de Satanás; e reténs o meu nome e não negaste a minha fé, ainda nos dias de Antipas, minha fiel testemunha, o qual foi morto entre vós, onde Satanás habita. 14 Mas umas poucas coisas tenho contra ti, porque tens lá os que seguem a doutrina de Balaão, o qual ensinava Balaque a lançar tropeços diante dos filhos de Israel para que comessem dos sacrifícios da idolatria e se prostituíssem. 15 Assim, tens também os que seguem a doutrina dos nicolaítas, o que eu aborreço. 16 Arrepende-te, pois; quando não, em breve virei a ti e contra eles batalharei com a espada da minha boca. 17 Quem tem ouvidos ouça o que o Espírito diz às igrejas: Ao que vencer darei eu a comer do maná escondido e dar-lhe-ei uma pedra branca, e na pedra um novo nome escrito, o qual ninguém conhece senão aquele que o recebe.
Quarta carta, à igreja de Tiatira
18 E ao anjo da igreja de Tiatira escreve: Isto diz o Filho de Deus, que tem os olhos como chama de fogo e os pés semelhantes ao latão reluzente:
19 Eu conheço as tuas obras, e o teu amor, e o teu serviço, e a tua fé, e a tua paciência, e que as tuas últimas obras são mais do que as primeiras. 20 Mas tenho contra ti o tolerares que Jezabel, mulher que se diz profetisa, ensine e engane os meus servos, para que se prostituam e comam dos sacrifícios da idolatria. 21 E dei-lhe tempo para que se arrependesse da sua prostituição; e não se arrependeu. 22 Eis que a porei numa cama, e sobre os que adulteram com ela virá grande tribulação, se não se arrependerem das suas obras. 23 E ferirei de morte a seus filhos, e todas as igrejas saberão que eu sou aquele que sonda as mentes e os corações. E darei a cada um de vós segundo as vossas obras. 24 Mas eu vos digo a vós e aos restantes que estão em Tiatira, a todos quantos não têm esta doutrina e não conheceram, como dizem, as profundezas de Satanás, que outra carga vos não porei. 25 Mas o que tendes, retende-o até que eu venha. 26 E ao que vencer e guardar até ao fim as minhas obras, eu lhe darei poder sobre as nações, 27 e com vara de ferro as regerá; e serão quebradas como vasos de oleiro; como também recebi de meu Pai, 28 dar-lhe-ei a estrela da manhã. 29 Quem tem ouvidos ouça o que o Espírito diz às igrejas.

The Letters to the Seven Churches
The Letter to Ephesus
2 “Write to the angel[a] of the church in Ephesus: Thus says the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who walks among the seven golden lampstands:(A) 2 I know your works, your labor, and your endurance,(B) and that you cannot tolerate evil people. You have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not,(C) and you have found them to be liars.(D) 3 I know that you have persevered and endured hardships for the sake of my name,(E) and you have not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you: You have abandoned the love you had at first.(F) 5 Remember then how far you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first.(G) Otherwise, I will come to you[b] and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. 6 Yet you do have this: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give(H) the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in[c] the paradise of God.(I)
The Letter to Smyrna
8 “Write to the angel of the church in Smyrna: Thus says the First and the Last,(J) the one who was dead and came to life: 9 I know your[d] affliction and poverty, but you are rich. I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.(K) 10 Don’t be afraid of what you are about to suffer. Look, the devil(L) is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will experience affliction for ten days.(M) Be faithful to the point of death,(N) and I will give you the crown[e] of life.(O)
11 “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will never be harmed by the second death.(P)
The Letter to Pergamum
12 “Write to the angel of the church in Pergamum: Thus says the one who has the sharp, double-edged sword: (Q) 13 I know[f] where you live—where Satan’s throne is. Yet you are holding on to my name and did not deny your faith in me,[g](R) even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness(S) who was put to death among you, where Satan lives. 14 But I have a few things against you. You have some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam,(T) who taught Balak to place a stumbling block[h] in front of the Israelites: to eat meat sacrificed to idols(U) and to commit sexual immorality.(V) 15 In the same way, you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.[i] 16 So repent! Otherwise, I will come to you quickly(W) and fight against them with the sword of my mouth.(X)
17 “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give some of the hidden manna.[j](Y) I will also give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name(Z) is inscribed that no one knows except the one who receives it.
The Letter to Thyatira
18 “Write to the angel of the church in Thyatira: Thus says the Son of God,(AA) the one whose eyes are like a fiery flame and whose feet are like fine bronze:(AB) 19 I know your works—your love, faithfulness,[k] service, and endurance.(AC) I know that your last works are greater than the first. 20 But I have this against you: You tolerate the woman Jezebel,(AD) who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and deceives my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat meat sacrificed to idols.(AE) 21 I gave her time to repent,(AF) but she does not want to repent of her sexual immorality.(AG) 22 Look, I will throw her into a sickbed(AH) and those who commit adultery with her(AI) into great affliction.(AJ) Unless they repent of her[l] works, 23 I will strike her children dead.[m](AK) Then all the churches will know that I am the one who examines minds and hearts,(AL) and I will give to each of you according to your works.(AM) 24 I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who haven’t known “the so-called secrets[n](AN) of Satan”(AO) —as they say—I am not putting any other burden on you.(AP) 25 Only hold on to what you have until I come.(AQ) 26 The one who conquers and who keeps my works to the end: I will give him authority over the nations—
28 just as I have received this from my Father. I will also give him the morning star.(AT)
29 “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.

Revelation 2
King James Version
2 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall 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 a crown of life.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I 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 unto the churches.
