启示录 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
給以弗所教會的信
2 “你要寫信給在以弗所教會的使者，說：
‘那右手拿著七星，在七個金燈臺中間行走的，這樣說： 2 我知道你的行為、你的勞苦、你的忍耐，也知道你不能容忍惡人。你也曾經試驗那些自稱是使徒，而其實不是使徒的人，看出他們是假的。 3 你有忍耐，曾為我的名的緣故忍受一切，並不困倦。 4 然而有一件事我要責備你，就是你已經離棄了你起初的愛。 5 所以，你應當回想你是從哪裡墜落的，並且要悔改，作起初所作的事。你若不悔改，我就要來到你那裡，把你的燈臺從原處移去。 6 不過你有這一個優點，就是你恨惡尼哥拉黨的作為，那也是我所恨惡的。 7 聖靈向眾教會所說的話，有耳的就應當聽。得勝的，我必定把 神樂園裡生命樹的果子賜給他吃。’
給士每拿教會的信
8 “你要寫信給在士每拿教會的使者，說：
‘那首先的、末後的、曾經死去而又活過來的，這樣說： 9 我知道你的患難和貧窮，但你卻是富足的。我也知道那些自稱是猶太人所說毀謗的話，其實他們不是猶太人，而是撒但的黨徒。 10 你不要怕你將要受的苦。看哪！魔鬼將要把你們中間幾個人下在監裡，叫你們受試煉，你們要受患難十天。你要忠心至死，我就把那生命的冠冕賜給你。 11 聖靈向眾教會所說的話，有耳的就應當聽。得勝的，決不會受第二次死的害。’
給別迦摩教會的信
12 “你要寫信給在別迦摩教會的使者，說：
‘那有一把兩刃利劍的，這樣說： 13 我知道你居住的地方，就是撒但王座所在的地方。當我忠心的見證人安提帕在你們那裡，就是在撒但居住的地方被殺的那些日子，你還持守我的名，沒有否認對我的信仰。 14 然而有幾件事我要責備你，因為在你那裡有些人持守巴蘭的教訓。這巴蘭曾經教導巴勒把絆腳石放在以色列人面前，叫他們吃祭過偶像的食物，並且行淫亂。 15 同樣，你也有些人持守尼哥拉黨的教訓。 16 所以，你應當悔改；如果不悔改，我就很快地來到你們那裡，用我口中的劍跟他們作戰。 17 聖靈向眾教會所說的話，有耳的就應當聽。得勝的，我必定把那隱藏的嗎哪賜給他，並且賜他一塊白石，石上寫著新的名字，這名字除了那領受的人以外，是沒有人能知道的。’
給推雅推拉教會的信
18 “你要寫信給在推雅推拉教會的使者，說：
‘ 神的兒子，那眼睛像火燄、兩腳像光銅的，這樣說： 19 我知道你的行為，你的愛心、信心、服侍和忍耐，也知道你後來所作的比先前的還要多。 20 然而有一件事我要責備你，就是你容讓那自稱是先知的婦人耶洗別，教導和引誘我的眾僕人行淫亂，吃祭過偶像的食物。 21 我曾給她時間，讓她悔改，她卻不肯為她的淫行悔改。 22 看哪，我要把她拋在大患難的床上；那些跟她行淫亂的人，如果不為她的行為悔改，我也要把他們拋在大患難中。 23 我必以死亡擊殺她的兒女；眾教會就都知道我是察驗人肺腑心腸的，我要照著你們的行為報應你們各人。 24 至於你們其餘在推雅推拉的人，就是不跟從那教訓，不認識所謂撒但深奧的事的人，我告訴你們，我不會把別的重擔放在你們身上。 25 不過，你們要持守已經得著的，直到我來。 26 得勝的，又遵守我的旨意到底的，
我必把統治列國的權柄賜給他，
27 他必用鐵杖治理他們，
好像打碎陶器一樣粉碎他們，（“我必把……粉碎他們”引自詩2:8~9）
好像我從父領受了權柄一樣； 28 我還要把晨星賜給他。 29 聖靈向眾教會所說的話，有耳的就應當聽。’”
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.
Revelation 2
New King James Version
The Loveless Church
2 “To the [a]angel of the church of Ephesus write,
‘These things says (A)He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, (B)who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: 2 (C)“I know your works, your labor, your [b]patience, and that you cannot [c]bear those who are evil. And (D)you have tested those (E)who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; 3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have (F)not become weary. 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, (G)or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. 6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 (H)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give (I)to eat from (J)the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’
The Persecuted Church
8 “And to the [d]angel of the church in Smyrna write,
‘These things says (K)the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: 9 “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are (L)rich); and I know the blasphemy of (M)those who say they are Jews and are not, (N)but are a [e]synagogue of Satan. 10 (O)Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. (P)Be faithful until death, and I will give you (Q)the crown of life.
11 (R)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by (S)the second death.” ’
The Compromising Church
12 “And to the [f]angel of the church in Pergamos write,
‘These things says (T)He who has the sharp two-edged sword: 13 “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of (U)Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, (V)to eat things sacrificed to idols, (W)and to commit sexual immorality. 15 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, [g]which thing I hate. 16 Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and (X)will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden (Y)manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone (Z)a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’
The Corrupt Church
18 “And to the [h]angel of the church in Thyatira write,
‘These things says the Son of God, (AA)who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: 19 (AB)“I know your works, love, [i]service, faith, and your [j]patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 20 Nevertheless I have [k]a few things against you, because you allow [l]that woman (AC)Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, [m]to teach and seduce My servants (AD)to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time (AE)to [n]repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. 22 Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of [o]their deeds. 23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who (AF)searches[p] the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
24 “Now to you I say, [q]and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the (AG)depths of Satan, as they say, (AH)I [r]will put on you no other burden. 25 But hold fast (AI)what you have till I come. 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps (AJ)My works until the end, (AK)to him I will give power over the nations—
27 ‘He(AL) shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—
as I also have received from My Father; 28 and I will give him (AM)the morning star.
29 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’

Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
給以弗所教會的信
2 「你要寫信給以弗所教會的使者，說：『那右手拿着七顆星，在七個金燈臺中間行走的這樣說： 2 我知道你的行為、勞碌、忍耐，也知道你不容忍惡人。你也曾察驗那自稱為使徒卻不是使徒的，看出他們是假的。 3 你能忍耐，曾為我的名勞苦而不困倦。 4 然而，有一件事我要責備你，就是你把起初的愛心拋棄了。 5 所以你要回想你是從哪裏墜落的，並且要悔改，做起初所做的工作。你若不悔改，我要到你那裏去，把你的燈臺從原處挪去。 6 然而你還有一件可取的事，就是你恨惡尼哥拉派的行為，這種行為也是我所恨惡的。 7 凡有耳朵的都應當聽聖靈向眾教會所說的話。得勝的，我必將 神樂園中生命樹的果子賜給他吃。』」
給士每拿教會的信
8 「你要寫信給士每拿教會的使者，說：『那首先的、末後的，死過又活了的這樣說： 9 我知道你的患難和貧窮—其實你卻是富足的，也知道那自稱是猶太人的所說毀謗的話，其實他們不是猶太人，而是撒但會堂的人。 10 你將要受的苦，你不用怕。看哪！魔鬼要把你們中間幾個人下在監裏，使你們受考驗，你們要遭受苦難十日。你務要至死忠心，我就賜給你那生命的冠冕。 11 凡有耳朵的都應當聽聖靈向眾教會所說的話。得勝的必不受第二次死的害。』」
給別迦摩教會的信
12 「你要寫信給別迦摩教會的使者，說：『那有兩刃利劍的這樣說： 13 我知道你的居所，就是有撒但座位之處；當我忠心的見證人安提帕在你們中間，在撒但所住的地方被殺之時，你還堅守我的名，沒有否認對我的信仰。 14 然而，有幾件事我要責備你，就是在你那裏有人服從了巴蘭的教訓；這巴蘭曾教唆巴勒將絆腳石放在以色列人面前，使他們吃祭過偶像之物，並且犯淫亂。 15 同樣，你那裏也有人服從了尼哥拉派的教訓。 16 所以，你當悔改；若不悔改，我很快就到你那裏來，用我口中的劍攻擊他們。 17 凡有耳朵的都應當聽聖靈向眾教會所說的話。得勝的，我必將那隱藏的嗎哪賜給他，並賜他一塊白石，石上寫着新的名字，除了那領受的以外，沒有人認識。』」
給推雅推喇教會的信
18 「你要寫信給推雅推喇教會的使者，說：『 神的兒子，那位眼睛如火焰、雙腳像發亮的銅的這樣說： 19 我知道你的行為：愛心、信心、勤勞、忍耐；又知道你末後所行的善事比起初所行的更多。 20 然而，有一件事我要責備你，就是你容忍那自稱是先知的婦人耶洗別教唆我的僕人，引誘他們犯淫亂，吃祭過偶像之物。 21 我曾給她悔改的機會，她卻不肯悔改她的淫行。 22 看吧，我要使她病倒在床上。那些與她犯姦淫的人若不悔改他們的行為，我也要使他們同受大患難。 23 我又要殺死她的兒女，眾教會就知道，我是那察看人肺腑心腸的，我要照你們的行為報應各人。 24 至於你們其餘的推雅推喇人，就是一切不隨從這教訓，不明白他們所謂撒但深奧之理的人，我告訴你們，我不會再把別的擔子放在你們身上。 25 你們只要持守那已經有的，直到我來。 26 那得勝又遵守我命令到底的，
我要賜給他權柄制伏列國；
27 他必用鐵杖管轄他們，
如同打碎陶器，
28 像我也從我父領受了權柄一樣。我又要把晨星賜給他。 29 凡有耳朵的都應當聽聖靈向眾教會所說的話。』」
