Mensaje a la iglesia de Éfeso

2 »Escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Éfeso(A) :

“El que tiene las siete estrellas(B) en Su mano derecha, Aquel que anda entre[a] los siete candelabros(C) de oro, dice esto: 2 ‘Yo conozco tus obras, tu fatiga y tu perseverancia(D), y que no puedes soportar a los malos, y has sometido a prueba(E)a los que se dicen ser apóstoles(F)y no lo son, y los has hallado mentirosos. 3 Tienes perseverancia, y has sufrido por Mi nombre(G)y no has desmayado.

4 ’Pero tengo esto contra ti: que has dejado tu primer amor(H) . 5 Recuerda, por tanto, de dónde has caído y arrepiéntete(I), y haz las obras que hiciste al principio[b](J). Si no, vendré[c]a ti y quitaré tu candelabro de su lugar(K), si no te arrepientes. 6 Sin embargo tienes esto: que aborreces las obras de los nicolaítas(L), las cuales Yo también aborrezco.

7 ’El que tiene oído(M) , oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. Al vencedor[d](N) le daré a comer del árbol de la vida(O) , que está en el paraíso de Dios(P) ’”».

Mensaje a la iglesia de Esmirna

8 «Escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Esmirna(Q) :

“El Primero y el Último(R) , el que estuvo muerto y ha vuelto a la vida(S) , dice esto: 9 ‘Yo conozco[e]tu tribulación(T)y tu pobreza(U)(pero tú eres rico(V)), y la blasfemia de los que se dicen ser judíos y no lo son(W), sino que son sinagoga de Satanás(X). 10 No temas lo que estás por sufrir. Yo te digo que el diablo echará a algunos de ustedes en la cárcel para que sean probados(Y), y tendrán tribulación por diez días(Z). Sé fiel hasta la muerte(AA), y Yo te daré la corona de la vida(AB).

11 ’El que tiene oído(AC) , oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. El vencedor[f](AD) no sufrirá daño de la muerte segunda(AE) ’”».

Mensaje a la iglesia de Pérgamo

12 «Escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Pérgamo(AF) :

“El que tiene la espada aguda de dos filos(AG) , dice esto: 13 ‘Yo sé[g]dónde moras: donde está el trono de Satanás(AH). Guardas fielmente Mi nombre y no has negado Mi fe(AI), aun en los días de Antipas, Mi testigo(AJ), Mi siervo fiel(AK), que fue muerto entre ustedes, donde mora Satanás(AL).

14 ’Pero tengo unas pocas cosas contra ti(AM) , porque tienes ahí a los que mantienen la doctrina de Balaam(AN) , que enseñaba a Balac a poner tropiezo ante los israelitas, a comer cosas sacrificadas a los ídolos y a cometer actos de inmoralidad(AO) . 15 Así tú también tienes algunos que de la misma manera mantienen la doctrina de los nicolaítas(AP). 16 Por tanto, arrepiéntete(AQ); si no, vendré[h]a ti pronto(AR)y pelearé contra ellos con la espada de Mi boca(AS).

17 ’El que tiene oído(AT) , oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. Al vencedor[i](AU) le daré del maná escondido(AV) y le daré una piedrecita blanca, y grabado en la piedrecita(AW) un nombre nuevo, el cual nadie conoce sino aquel que lo recibe(AX) ’”».

Mensaje a la iglesia de Tiatira

18 «Escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Tiatira(AY) :

“El Hijo de Dios(AZ) , que tiene ojos[j] como llama de fuego(BA) , y Sus pies son semejantes al bronce bruñido, dice esto: 19 ‘Yo conozco tus obras(BB), tu amor, tu fe, tu servicio y tu perseverancia(BC), y que tus obras recientes son mayores que las primeras.

20 ’Pero tengo esto contra ti(BD) : que toleras a esa[k] mujer Jezabel(BE) , que se dice ser profetisa, y enseña y seduce a Mis siervos a que cometan actos inmorales y coman cosas sacrificadas a los ídolos(BF) . 21 Le he dado tiempo para arrepentirse(BG), y no quiere arrepentirse de su inmoralidad(BH). 22 Por eso, la postraré[l]en cama, y a los que cometen adulterio con ella(BI)los arrojaré en gran tribulación, si no se arrepienten de las obras de ella[m]. 23 A sus hijos mataré con pestilencia[n], y todas las iglesias sabrán que Yo soy el que escudriña las mentes[o](BJ)y los corazones, y les daré a cada uno según sus obras(BK).

24 ’Pero a ustedes, a los demás que están en Tiatira(BL) , a cuantos no tienen esta doctrina, que no han conocido las cosas profundas de Satanás(BM) , como ellos las llaman, les digo, que no les impongo otra carga(BN) . 25 No obstante, lo que tienen(BO), reténganlo hasta que Yo venga(BP). 26 Al vencedor[p](BQ), al que guarda Mis obras hasta el fin(BR), le daré autoridad sobre las naciones[q](BS); 27 y las regirá[r]con vara de hierro(BT), como los vasos del alfarero son hechos pedazos(BU), [s]como Yo también he recibido autoridad de Mi Padre. 28 Y le daré el lucero de la mañana(BV).

29 ’El que tiene oído(BW) , oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias’”».

Message to Ephesus

2 “Write this to the angel of the church in Ephesus:

These are the words of the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven gold lampstands: 2 I know your works, your labor, and your endurance. I also know that you don’t put up with those who are evil. You have tested those who say they are apostles but are not, and you have found them to be liars. 3 You have shown endurance and put up with a lot for my name’s sake, and you haven’t gotten tired. 4 But I have this against you: you have let go of the love you had at first. 5 So remember the high point from which you have fallen. Change your hearts and lives and do the things you did at first. If you don’t, I’m coming to you. I will move your lampstand from its place if you don’t change your hearts and lives. 6 But you have this in your favor: you hate what the Nicolaitans are doing, which I also hate. 7 If you can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. I will allow those who emerge victorious to eat from the tree of life, which is in God’s paradise.

Message to Smyrna

8 “Write this to the angel of the church in Smyrna:

These are the words of the one who is the first and the last, who died and came back to life: 9 I know your hardship and poverty (though you are actually rich). I also know the hurtful things that have been spoken about you by those who say they are Jews (though they are not, but are really Satan’s synagogue). 10 Don’t be afraid of what you are going to suffer. Look! The devil is going to throw some of you into prison in order to test you. You will suffer hardship for ten days. Be faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 If you can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. Those who emerge victorious won’t be hurt by the second death.

Message to Pergamum

12 “Write this to the angel of the church in Pergamum:

These are the words of the one who has the sharp, two-edged sword: 13 I know that you are living right where Satan’s throne is. You are holding on to my name, and you didn’t break faith with me even at the time that Antipas, my faithful witness, was killed among you, where Satan lives. 14 But I have a few things against you, because you have some there who follow Balaam’s teaching. Balaam had taught Balak to trip up the Israelites so that they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality. 15 In the same way, you have some who follow the Nicolaitans’ teaching. 16 So change your hearts and lives. If you don’t, I am coming to you soon, and I will make war on them with the sword that comes from my mouth. 17 If you can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. I will give those who emerge victorious some of the hidden manna to eat. I will also give to each of them a white stone with a new name written on it, which no one knows except the one who receives it.

Message to Thyatira

18 “Write this to the angel of the church in Thyatira:

These are the words of God’s Son, whose eyes are like a fiery flame, and whose feet are like fine brass. 19 I know your works, your love and faithfulness, your service and endurance. I also know that the works you have done most recently are even greater than those you did at first. 20 But I have this against you: you put up with that woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. You allow her to teach and to mislead my servants into committing sexual immorality and eating food sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to change her heart and life, but she refuses to change her life of prostitution. 22 Look! I’m throwing her onto a sickbed. I am casting those who have committed adultery with her into terrible hardship—if they don’t change their hearts from following her practices— 23 and I will even put her children to death with disease. Then all the churches will know that I’m the one who examines minds and hearts, and that I will give to each of you what your actions deserve. 24 As for the rest of you in Thyatira—those of you who don’t follow this teaching and haven’t learned the so-called “deep secrets” of Satan—I won’t burden you with anything else. 25 Just hold on to what you have until I come. 26 To those who emerge victorious, keeping my practices until the end, I will give authority over the nations— 27 to rule the nations with an iron rod and smash them like pottery— 28 just as I received authority from my Father. I will also give them the morning star. 29 If you can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

To the Church in Ephesus

2 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of (A)him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, (B)who walks among the seven golden lampstands.

2 (C)“‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but (D)have tested those (E)who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. 3 I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up (F)for my name's sake, and you (G)have not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned (H)the love you had at first. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do (I)the works you did at first. If not, (J)I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. 6 Yet this you have: you hate the works of (K)the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 (L)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (M)To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of (N)the tree of life, which is in (O)the paradise of God.’

To the Church in Smyrna

8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of (P)the first and the last, (Q)who died and came to life.

9 “‘I know your tribulation and (R)your poverty ((S)but you are rich) and the slander[a] of (T)those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer.

(X)Be faithful (Y)unto death, and I will give you (Z)the crown of life. 11 (AA)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

To the Church in Pergamum

12 “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘The words of him who has (AD)the sharp two-edged sword.

13 “‘I know where you dwell, (AE)where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not (AF)deny my faith[b] even in the days of Antipas (AG)my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of (AH)Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might (AI)eat food sacrificed to idols and (AJ)practice sexual immorality. 15 So also you have some who hold the teaching of (AK)the Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore repent. If not, (AL)I will come to you soon and (AM)war against them with (AN)the sword of my mouth. 17 (AO)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (AP)To the one who conquers I will give some of (AQ)the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with (AR)a new name written on the stone (AS)that no one knows except the one who receives it.’

To the Church in Thyatira

18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, (AT)who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.

19 (AU)“‘I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first. 20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman (AV)Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants (AW)to practice sexual immorality and (AX)to eat food sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to repent, but (AY)she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, 23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he (AZ)who searches mind and heart, and (BA)I will give to each of you according to your works. 24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call (BB)the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I (BC)do not lay on you any other burden. 25 Only hold fast (BD)what you have until I come. 26 (BE)The one who conquers and who keeps my works (BF)until the end, (BG)to him I will give authority over the nations, 27 and (BH)he will (BI)rule[c] them with a rod of iron, (BJ)as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. 28 And I will give him (BK)the morning star. 29 (BL)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

2 “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) 2 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) 3 You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name,(G) and have not grown weary.

4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.(H) 5 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. 6 But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans,(K) which I also hate.

7 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.

8 “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) 9 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.
