Apocalipse 2
Nova Versão Internacional
Carta à Igreja de Éfeso
2 “Ao anjo da igreja em Éfeso escreva:
“Estas são as palavras daquele que tem as sete estrelas em sua mão direita e anda entre os sete candelabros de ouro. 2 Conheço as suas obras, o seu trabalho árduo e a sua perseverança. Sei que você não pode tolerar homens maus, que pôs à prova os que dizem ser apóstolos mas não são, e descobriu que eles eram impostores. 3 Você tem perseverado e suportado sofrimentos por causa do meu nome, e não tem desfalecido.
4 “Contra você, porém, tenho isto: você abandonou o seu primeiro amor. 5 Lembre-se de onde caiu! Arrependa-se e pratique as obras que praticava no princípio. Se não se arrepender, virei a você e tirarei o seu candelabro do lugar dele. 6 Mas há uma coisa a seu favor: você odeia as práticas dos nicolaítas, como eu também as odeio.
7 “Aquele que tem ouvidos ouça o que o Espírito diz às igrejas. Ao vencedor darei o direito de comer da árvore da vida, que está no paraíso de Deus.
Carta à Igreja de Esmirna
8 “Ao anjo da igreja em Esmirna escreva:
“Estas são as palavras daquele que é o Primeiro e o Último, que morreu e tornou a viver. 9 Conheço as suas aflições e a sua pobreza; mas você é rico! Conheço a blasfêmia dos que se dizem judeus mas não são, sendo antes sinagoga de Satanás. 10 Não tenha medo do que você está prestes a sofrer. O Diabo lançará alguns de vocês na prisão para prová-los, e vocês sofrerão perseguição durante dez dias. Seja fiel até a morte, e eu lhe darei a coroa da vida.
11 “Aquele que tem ouvidos ouça o que o Espírito diz às igrejas. O vencedor de modo algum sofrerá a segunda morte.
Carta à Igreja de Pérgamo
12 “Ao anjo da igreja em Pérgamo escreva:
“Estas são as palavras daquele que tem a espada afiada de dois gumes. 13 Sei onde você vive — onde está o trono de Satanás. Contudo, você permanece fiel ao meu nome e não renunciou à sua fé em mim, nem mesmo quando Antipas, minha fiel testemunha, foi morto nessa cidade, onde Satanás habita.
14 “No entanto, tenho contra você algumas coisas: você tem aí pessoas que se apegam aos ensinos de Balaão, que ensinou Balaque a armar ciladas contra os israelitas, induzindo-os a comer alimentos sacrificados a ídolos e a praticar imoralidade sexual. 15 De igual modo você tem também os que se apegam aos ensinos dos nicolaítas. 16 Portanto, arrependa-se! Se não, virei em breve até você e lutarei contra eles com a espada da minha boca.
17 “Aquele que tem ouvidos ouça o que o Espírito diz às igrejas. Ao vencedor darei do maná escondido. Também lhe darei uma pedra branca com um novo nome nela inscrito, conhecido apenas por aquele que o recebe.
Carta à Igreja de Tiatira
18 “Ao anjo da igreja em Tiatira escreva:
“Estas são as palavras do Filho de Deus, cujos olhos são como chama de fogo e os pés como bronze reluzente. 19 Conheço as suas obras, o seu amor, a sua fé, o seu serviço e a sua perseverança, e sei que você está fazendo mais agora do que no princípio.
20 “No entanto, contra você tenho isto: você tolera Jezabel, aquela mulher que se diz profetisa. Com os seus ensinos, ela induz os meus servos à imoralidade sexual e a comerem alimentos sacrificados aos ídolos. 21 Dei-lhe tempo para que se arrependesse da sua imoralidade sexual, mas ela não quer se arrepender. 22 Por isso, vou fazê-la adoecer e trarei grande sofrimento aos que cometem adultério com ela, a não ser que se arrependam das obras que ela pratica. 23 Matarei os filhos[a] dessa mulher. Então, todas as igrejas saberão que eu sou aquele que sonda mentes e corações, e retribuirei a cada um de vocês de acordo com as suas obras. 24 Aos demais que estão em Tiatira, a vocês que não seguem a doutrina dela e não aprenderam, como eles dizem, os profundos segredos de Satanás, digo: Não porei outra carga sobre vocês; 25 tão-somente apeguem-se com firmeza ao que vocês têm, até que eu venha.
26 “Àquele que vencer e fizer a minha vontade até o fim darei autoridade sobre as nações.
27 “‘Ele as governará
    com cetro de ferro
e as despedaçará
    como a um vaso de barro.’[b]
28 “Eu lhe darei a mesma autoridade que recebi de meu Pai. Também lhe darei a estrela da manhã. 29 Aquele que tem ouvidos ouça o que o Espírito diz às igrejas.
Apocalipsis 2
Dios Habla Hoy
El mensaje a Éfeso
2 »Escribe al ángel de la iglesia de Éfeso: “Esto dice el que tiene las siete estrellas en su mano derecha y anda en medio de los siete candelabros de oro: 2 Yo sé todo lo que haces; conozco tu duro trabajo y tu constancia, y sé que no puedes soportar a los malos. También sé que has puesto a prueba a los que dicen ser apóstoles y no lo son, y has descubierto que son mentirosos. 3 Has sido constante, y has sufrido mucho por mi causa, sin cansarte. 4 Pero tengo una cosa contra ti: que ya no tienes el mismo amor que al principio. 5 Por eso, recuerda de dónde has caído, vuélvete a Dios y haz otra vez lo que hacías al principio. Si no, iré a ti y quitaré tu candelabro de su lugar, a menos que te vuelvas a Dios. 6 Sin embargo, tienes a tu favor que odias los hechos de los nicolaítas, los cuales yo también odio. 7 ¡El que tiene oídos, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias! A los que salgan vencedores les daré a comer del árbol de la vida, que está en el paraíso de Dios.”
El mensaje a Esmirna
8 »Escribe también al ángel de la iglesia de Esmirna: “Esto dice el primero y el último, el que murió y ha vuelto a vivir: 9 Yo conozco tus sufrimientos y tu pobreza, aunque en realidad eres rico. Y sé lo mal que hablan de ti los que se dicen judíos pero no son otra cosa que una congregación de Satanás. 10 No tengas miedo de lo que vas a sufrir, pues el diablo meterá en la cárcel a algunos de ustedes, para que todos ustedes sean puestos a prueba; y tendrán que sufrir durante diez días. Manténte fiel hasta la muerte, y yo te daré la vida como premio. 11 ¡El que tiene oídos, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias! Los que salgan vencedores no sufrirán ningún daño de la segunda muerte.”
El mensaje a Pérgamo
12 »Escribe también al ángel de la iglesia de Pérgamo: “Esto dice el que tiene la aguda espada de dos filos: 13 Yo sé que vives donde Satanás tiene su trono; sin embargo sigues fiel a mi causa. No renegaste de tu fe en mí, ni siquiera en los días en que a Antipas, mi testigo fiel, lo mataron en esa ciudad donde vive Satanás. 14 Pero tengo unas cuantas cosas contra ti: que ahí tienes algunos que no quieren apartarse de la enseñanza de Balaam, el cual aconsejó a Balac que hiciera pecar a los israelitas incitándolos a comer alimentos ofrecidos en sacrificio a los ídolos y a la prostitución. 15 También tienes ahí algunos que no quieren apartarse de la enseñanza de los nicolaítas. 16 Por eso, vuélvete a Dios; de lo contrario, iré pronto a ti, y con la espada que sale de mi boca pelearé contra ellos. 17 ¡El que tiene oídos, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias! A los que salgan vencedores les daré a comer del maná que está escondido; y les daré también una piedra blanca, en la que está escrito un nombre nuevo que nadie conoce sino quien lo recibe.”
El mensaje a Tiatira
18 »Escribe también al ángel de la iglesia de Tiatira: “Esto dice el Hijo de Dios, el que tiene los ojos como llamas de fuego y los pies como bronce pulido: 19 Yo sé todo lo que haces; conozco tu amor, tu fe, tu servicio y tu constancia, y sé que ahora estás haciendo más que al principio. 20 Pero tengo una cosa contra ti: que toleras a esa mujer, Jezabel, que se llama a sí misma profetisa pero engaña con su enseñanza a mis siervos, incitándolos a la prostitución y a comer alimentos ofrecidos en sacrificio a los ídolos. 21 Yo le he dado tiempo para que se convierta a Dios; pero ella no ha querido hacerlo ni ha abandonado su prostitución. 22-23 Por eso, voy a hacerla caer en cama, y mataré a sus hijos; y a los que cometen adulterio con ella, si no dejan de portarse como ella lo hace, les enviaré grandes sufrimientos. Así todas las iglesias se darán cuenta de que yo conozco hasta el fondo la mente y el corazón; y a cada uno de ustedes le daré según lo que haya hecho. 24 En cuanto a ustedes, los que están en Tiatira pero no siguen esa enseñanza ni han llegado a conocer lo que ellos llaman los secretos profundos de Satanás, les digo que no les impongo otra carga. 25 Pero conserven lo que tienen, hasta que yo venga. 26 A los que salgan vencedores y sigan hasta el fin haciendo lo que yo quiero que se haga, les daré autoridad sobre las naciones, 27-28 así como mi Padre me ha dado autoridad a mí; y gobernarán a las naciones con cetro de hierro, y las harán pedazos como a ollas de barro. Y les daré también la estrella de la mañana. 29 ¡El que tiene oídos, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias!”
Revelation 2
New International Version
To the Church in Ephesus
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.
To the Church in Smyrna
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.

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.” ’
