"To the messenger of the assembly in Ephesos write: These things says the one holding the seven stars in his right hand, the one walking in the midst of the seven golden menorot:
2
I know your works, your labor, and your endurance, and that you are not able to bear evil ishim; and you tested those calling themselves emissaries and are not, and found them false.
3
And you have endurance, and have borne because of my Name, and have not grown weary.
4
But I have this against you: that you left your first love.
5
Remember, therefore, from where you have fallen; repent, and do the first works. But if not, I am coming to you and shall remove your menorah from its place unless you repent.
6
But this you have: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7
The one having an ear, let him hear what Ruach says to the assemblies. To the one overcoming I shall give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the garden of Elohim.
8
And to the messenger of the assembly in Smyrna write: These things says the First and the Last, who became dead and came to life:
9
I know your affliction and poverty - yet you are rich - and the blasphemy of those who say they are Yehudim and are not, but are a synagogue of the adversary.
10
Do not fear the things you are about to suffer. See - the adversary is about to cast some of you into prison so that you may be tested, and you shall have affliction ten days. Become faithful until death, and I shall give you the crown of life.
11
The one having an ear, let him hear what Ruach says to the assemblies. The one overcoming shall certainly not be harmed by the second death.
12
And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says the one having the sharp two-edged sword:
13
I know where you dwell, where the throne of the adversary is. Yet you hold firmly my Name and did not deny your trust in me, even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was killed among you where the adversary dwells.
14
But I have a few things against you: you have there those holding the teaching of Bil'am, who taught Balaq to place a stumbling block before the children of Yisra'el - to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.
15
So also you have those holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16
Therefore repent. But if not, I am coming to you quickly and shall fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17
The one having an ear, let him hear what Ruach says to the assemblies. To the one overcoming I shall give from the hidden manna, and I shall give him a white stone, and upon the stone a renewed name written which no one knows except the one receiving it.
18
And to the messenger of the assembly in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of Elohim, whose eyes are like a flame of fire and whose feet are like refined bronze:
19
I know your works, love, trust, service, and endurance, and that your latter works are more than the first.
20
But I have this against you: you tolerate that ishah Izevel, who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and deceives my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
21
And I gave her time to repent, but she does not desire to repent from her sexual immorality.
22
See - I cast her into a bed, and those committing adultery with her into great affliction, unless they repent from her works.
23
And I shall strike her children with death, and all the assemblies shall know that I am the one searching kidneys and hearts, and I shall give to each of you according to your works.
24
But to you I say, to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not hold this teaching and did not know what they call the depths of the adversary: I place upon you no other burden.
25
Only hold firmly what you have until I come.
26
And the one overcoming and guarding my works until the end, to him I shall give authority over the nations.
27
And he shall shepherd them with a rod of iron, as vessels of pottery are shattered, just as I also received from my Father.
28
And I shall give him the morning star.
29
The one having an ear, let him hear what Ruach says to the assemblies."
