Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Sulat para sa Iglesya sa Efeso
2 “Isulat mo ito para sa anghel na nagbabantay sa iglesya sa Efeso:
“Ito ang mensahe ng may hawak ng pitong bituin sa kanang kamay at lumalakad sa gitna ng pitong ilawang ginto: 2 Alam ko ang mga ginagawa ninyo pati ang inyong mga pagsisikap at pagtitiyaga. Alam ko rin na hindi ninyo kinukunsinti ang masasamang tao. Siniyasat ninyo ang mga nagpapanggap na apostol, at napatunayan ninyong mga sinungaling sila. 3 Tiniis ninyo ang mga kahirapan dahil sa pananampalataya ninyo sa akin, at hindi kayo nanghina. 4 Ngunit ito ang ayaw ko sa inyo: ang inyong pag-ibig sa akin ngayon ay hindi na tulad ng dati. 5 Alalahanin ninyo kung gaano kayo nanamlay sa pananampalataya. Magsisi kayo sa mga kasalanan ninyo at gawing muli ang dati ninyong ginagawa. Kung hindi, pupuntahan ko kayo at kukunin ang inyong ilawan. 6 Ngunit ito ang gusto ko sa inyo: kinasusuklaman ninyo ang mga ginagawa ng mga Nicolaita,[a] na kinasusuklaman ko rin.
7 “Kayong nakikinig, pag-isipan ninyong mabuti ang sinasabi ng Banal na Espiritu sa mga iglesya.
“Ang magtatagumpay ay papayagan kong kumain ng bunga ng punongkahoy na nagbibigay ng buhay. Ang punong ito ay nasa paraiso ng Dios.”
Ang Sulat para sa Iglesya sa Smirna
8 “Isulat mo ito para sa anghel na nagbabantay sa iglesya sa Smirna:
“Ito ang mensahe niya na siyang simula at katapusan ng lahat, na namatay ngunit muling nabuhay: 9 Alam ko ang inyong pagtitiis. Alam ko ring mahirap kayo, ngunit mayaman sa espiritwal na mga bagay. Alam kong hinahamak kayo ng mga taong nagsasabing mga Judio sila, ngunit ang totooʼy mga kampon sila ni Satanas. 10 Huwag kayong matakot sa mga paghihirap na malapit na ninyong danasin. Tandaan ninyo: Ipapabilanggo ni Satanas ang ilan sa inyo upang subukan kayo. Daranas kayo ng pang-uusig sa loob ng sampung araw. Manatili kayong tapat hanggang kamatayan, at gagantimpalaan ko kayo ng buhay na walang hanggan.
11 “Kayong nakikinig, pag-isipan ninyong mabuti ang sinasabi ng Banal na Espiritu sa mga iglesya.
“Ang magtatagumpay ay hindi makakaranas ng ikalawang kamatayan.”
Ang Sulat para sa Iglesya sa Pergamum
12 “Isulat mo ito para sa anghel na nagbabantay sa iglesya sa Pergamum:
“Ito ang mensahe ng may hawak ng matalas na espada na dalawa ang talim: 13 Alam ko na kahit nakatira kayo sa lugar na hawak ni Satanas ay nananatili pa rin kayong tapat sa akin. Sapagkat hindi kayo tumalikod sa pananampalataya ninyo sa akin, kahit noong patayin si Antipas na tapat kong saksi riyan sa lugar ninyo na tirahan ni Satanas. 14 Ngunit ito ang ayaw ko sa inyo: May ilan sa inyo na sumusunod sa mga aral ni Balaam. Si Balaam ang nagturo kay Balak kung paano udyukan ang mga Israelita na magkasala sa pamamagitan ng pagkain ng mga inihandog sa mga dios-diosan at sa pamamagitan ng paggawa ng sekswal na imoralidad. 15 At may ilan din sa inyo na sumusunod sa mga aral ng mga Nicolaita. 16 Kaya magsisi kayo sa mga kasalanan ninyo! Sapagkat kung hindi, pupunta ako riyan sa lalong madaling panahon at kakalabanin ko ang mga taong iyan na sumusunod sa mga maling aral sa pamamagitan ng espada na lumalabas sa aking bibig.
17 “Kayong nakikinig, pag-isipan ninyong mabuti ang sinasabi ng Banal na Espiritu sa mga iglesya.
“Ang magtatagumpay ay bibigyan ko ng pagkain na inilaan ko sa langit. Bibigyan ko rin ang bawat isa sa kanila ng puting bato na may nakasulat na bagong pangalan na walang ibang nakakaalam kundi ang makakatanggap nito.”
Ang Sulat para sa Iglesya sa Tiatira
18 “Isulat mo ito para sa anghel na nagbabantay sa iglesya sa Tiatira:
“Ito ang mensahe ng Anak ng Dios, na ang mga mataʼy nagliliyab na parang apoy at ang mga paaʼy nagniningning na parang pinakintab na tanso: 19 Alam ko ang mga ginagawa ninyo. Alam ko na mapagmahal kayo, matapat, masigasig maglingkod at matiyaga. Alam ko rin na higit pa ang ginagawa ninyo ngayon kaysa sa noong una. 20 Ngunit ito ang ayaw ko sa inyo: Hinahayaan ninyo lang na magturo ang babaeng si Jezebel na nagpapanggap na propeta. Nililinlang niya ang mga taong naglilingkod sa akin at hinihikayat na gumawa ng sekswal na imoralidad at kumain ng mga inihandog sa mga dios-diosan. 21 Binigyan ko siya ng panahon upang magsisi sa kanyang imoralidad, ngunit ayaw niya. 22 Makinig kayo! Bibigyan ko siya ng karamdaman hanggang sa hindi na siya makabangon sa higaan. Parurusahan ko siya nang matindi pati ang mga nakipagrelasyon sa kanya, kung hindi sila magsisisi sa kanilang kasamaan. 23 Papatayin ko ang mga tagasunod niya upang malaman ng lahat ng iglesya na alam ko ang iniisip at hinahangad ng tao. Gagantihan ko ang bawat isa sa inyo ayon sa mga ginawa ninyo.
24 “Pero ang iba sa inyo riyan sa Tiatira ay hindi sumusunod sa mga turo ni Jezebel. Hindi kayo natuto ng tinatawag nilang ‘malalalim na mga turo ni Satanas.’ Kaya wala na akong idadagdag pang tuntunin na dapat ninyong sundin. 25 Ipagpatuloy na lang ninyo ang inyong katapatan sa akin hanggang sa pagdating ko. 26-27 Sapagkat ang mga magtatagumpay at patuloy na sumusunod sa kalooban ko hanggang sa wakas ay bibigyan ko ng kapangyarihang mamahala sa mga bansa, tulad ng kapangyarihang ibinigay sa akin ng aking Ama. Mamamahala sila sa pamamagitan ng kamay na bakal at dudurugin nila ang mga bansa gaya ng pagdurog sa palayok.[b] 28 At ibibigay ko rin sa kanila ang tala sa umaga.[c]
29 “Kayong nakikinig, pag-isipan ninyong mabuti ang sinasabi ng Banal na Espiritu sa mga iglesya.”
Revelation 2
English Standard Version
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. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, (U)that you may be tested, and for (V)ten days (W)you will have tribulation. (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. (AB)The one who conquers will not be hurt by (AC)the second death.’
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.’

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.” ’
