1To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These [are] the words of Him who holds the seven stars in His right hand [and] walks among the seven golden lampstands. 1Τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Ἐφέσῳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον Τάδε λέγει ὁ κρατῶν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἑπτὰ λυχνιῶν τῶν χρυσῶν
2I know your deeds, your labor, and [your] perseverance. [I know] that you cannot tolerate [those who are] evil, and you have tested and exposed as liars those who falsely claim to be apostles. 2Οἶδα τὰ ἔργα σου καὶ τὸν κόπον καὶ τὴν ὑπομονήν σου καὶ ὅτι οὐ δύνῃ βαστάσαι κακούς καὶ ἐπείρασας τοὺς λέγοντας ἑαυτοὺς ἀποστόλους καὶ οὐκ εἰσίν καὶ εὗρες αὐτοὺς ψευδεῖς
3Without growing weary, you have persevered and endured many things for the sake of My name. 3καὶ ὑπομονὴν ἔχεις καὶ ἐβάστασας διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου καὶ οὐ κεκοπίακες
4But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love. 4Ἀλλὰ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὅτι τὴν ἀγάπην σου τὴν πρώτην ἀφῆκες
5Therefore, keep in mind how far you have fallen. Repent and perform the deeds [you did] at first. But if you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. 5μνημόνευε οὖν πόθεν πέπτωκας* καὶ μετανόησον καὶ τὰ πρῶτα ἔργα ποίησον εἰ δὲ μή ἔρχομαί σοι καὶ κινήσω τὴν λυχνίαν σου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς ἐὰν μὴ μετανοήσῃς
6But you have this [to your credit]: You hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 6Ἀλλὰ τοῦτο ἔχεις ὅτι μισεῖς τὰ ἔργα τῶν Νικολαϊτῶν ἃ κἀγὼ μισῶ
7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the [one who] is victorious, I will grant [the right] to eat from the tree of life in the paradise of God. 7Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ Πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις Τῷ νικῶντι δώσω αὐτῷ φαγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ ξύλου τῆς ζωῆς ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ Παραδείσῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ
8To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These [are] the words of the First and the Last, who died and returned to life. 8Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Σμύρνῃ ἐκκλησίας γράψον Τάδε λέγει ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος ὃς ἐγένετο νεκρὸς καὶ ἔζησεν
9I know your affliction and [your] poverty— though you are rich! And [I am aware of] the slander of those who falsely claim to be Jews, but [are in fact] a synagogue of Satan. 9Οἶδά σου τὴν θλῖψιν καὶ τὴν πτωχείαν ἀλλὰ πλούσιος εἶ καὶ τὴν βλασφημίαν ἐκ τῶν λεγόντων Ἰουδαίους εἶναι ἑαυτούς καὶ οὐκ εἰσίν ἀλλὰ συναγωγὴ τοῦ Σατανᾶ
10{Do} not fear what you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw [some] of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation [for] ten days. Be faithful [even] unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. 10Μηδὲν* φοβοῦ ἃ μέλλεις πάσχειν ἰδοὺ μέλλει βάλλειν ὁ διάβολος ἐξ ὑμῶν εἰς φυλακὴν ἵνα πειρασθῆτε καὶ ἕξετε θλῖψιν ἡμερῶν δέκα γίνου πιστὸς ἄχρι θανάτου καὶ δώσω σοι τὸν στέφανον τῆς ζωῆς
11He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The [one who] is victorious will not be harmed by the second death. 11Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ Πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις Ὁ νικῶν οὐ μὴ ἀδικηθῇ ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου τοῦ δευτέρου
12To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These [are] the words of the [One who] holds the sharp, double-edged sword. 12Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Περγάμῳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον Τάδε λέγει ὁ ἔχων τὴν ῥομφαίαν τὴν δίστομον τὴν ὀξεῖαν
13I know where you live, where the throne of Satan [sits]. Yet you have held fast to My name and have not denied [your] faith in Me, even in the day [when] My faithful witness Antipas was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 13Οἶδα ποῦ κατοικεῖς ὅπου ὁ θρόνος τοῦ Σατανᾶ καὶ κρατεῖς τὸ ὄνομά μου καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσω τὴν πίστιν μου καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἀντιπᾶς ὁ μάρτυς μου ὁ πιστός μου ὃς ἀπεκτάνθη παρ’ ὑμῖν ὅπου ὁ Σατανᾶς κατοικεῖ
14But I have a few things against you, because [some] of you hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the Israelites so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality. 14Ἀλλ’ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὀλίγα ὅτι ἔχεις ἐκεῖ κρατοῦντας τὴν διδαχὴν Βαλαάμ ὃς ἐδίδασκεν τῷ Βαλὰκ βαλεῖν σκάνδαλον ἐνώπιον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ φαγεῖν εἰδωλόθυτα καὶ πορνεῦσαι
15In the same way, [some of] you also hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 15οὕτως ἔχεις καὶ σὺ κρατοῦντας τὴν διδαχὴν τῶν Νικολαϊτῶν ὁμοίως
16Therefore repent! Otherwise I will come to you shortly and wage war against them with the sword of My mouth. 16μετανόησον οὖν εἰ δὲ μή ἔρχομαί σοι ταχύ καὶ πολεμήσω μετ’ αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ τοῦ στόματός μου
17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To [the one] who is victorious, I will give the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone inscribed [with] a new name, known only to the [one who] receives [it]. 17Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ Πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις Τῷ νικῶντι δώσω αὐτῷ τοῦ μάννα τοῦ κεκρυμμένου καὶ δώσω αὐτῷ ψῆφον λευκήν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ψῆφον ὄνομα καινὸν γεγραμμένον ὃ οὐδεὶς οἶδεν εἰ μὴ ὁ λαμβάνων
18To [the] angel of the church in Thyatira write: These [are] the words of the Son of God, whose eyes [are] like a blazing fire and [whose] feet [are] like polished bronze. 18Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Θυατείροις ἐκκλησίας γράψον Τάδε λέγει ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ ἔχων τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ὡς φλόγα πυρός καὶ οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ὅμοιοι χαλκολιβάνῳ
19I know your deeds— your love, [your] faith, [your] service, [your] perseverance— and your latter deeds [are] greater than [your] first. 19Οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην καὶ τὴν πίστιν καὶ τὴν διακονίαν καὶ τὴν ὑπομονήν σου καὶ τὰ ἔργα σου τὰ ἔσχατα πλείονα τῶν πρώτων
20But I have [this] against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads My servants to be sexually immoral and to eat food sacrificed to idols. 20Ἀλλὰ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὅτι ἀφεῖς τὴν γυναῖκα Ἰεζάβελ ἡ λέγουσα ἑαυτὴν προφῆτιν καὶ διδάσκει καὶ πλανᾷ τοὺς ἐμοὺς δούλους πορνεῦσαι καὶ φαγεῖν εἰδωλόθυτα
21Even [though] I have given her time to repent of her immorality, she is unwilling. 21καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτῇ χρόνον ἵνα μετανοήσῃ καὶ οὐ θέλει μετανοῆσαι ἐκ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς
22Behold, I will cast her onto a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her [will suffer] great tribulation unless they repent of her deeds. 22Ἰδοὺ βάλλω αὐτὴν εἰς κλίνην καὶ τοὺς μοιχεύοντας μετ’ αὐτῆς εἰς θλῖψιν μεγάλην ἐὰν μὴ μετανοήσωσιν* ἐκ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῆς
23Then I will strike her children dead, and all the churches will know that I am the [One who] searches minds and hearts, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. 23καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς ἀποκτενῶ ἐν θανάτῳ καὶ γνώσονται πᾶσαι αἱ ἐκκλησίαι ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἐραυνῶν νεφροὺς καὶ καρδίας καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα ὑμῶν
24But I say to [the] rest of you in Thyatira, who {do} not hold to [her] teaching [and] {have} not learned the so-called deep things of Satan: I will place no further burden upon you. 24Ὑμῖν δὲ λέγω τοῖς λοιποῖς τοῖς ἐν Θυατείροις ὅσοι οὐκ ἔχουσιν τὴν διδαχὴν ταύτην οἵτινες οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὰ βαθέα τοῦ Σατανᾶ ὡς λέγουσιν οὐ βάλλω ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἄλλο βάρος
25Nevertheless, hold fast to what you have until I come. 25πλὴν ὃ ἔχετε κρατήσατε ἄχρι οὗ ἂν ἥξω
26And to the [one who] is victorious and continues {in} My work until [the] end, I will give authority over the nations. 26Καὶ ὁ νικῶν καὶ ὁ τηρῶν ἄχρι τέλους τὰ ἔργα μου δώσω αὐτῷ ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν
27He will rule them with an iron scepter [and] shatter [them] like pottery— just as I have received [authority] from My Father. 27καὶ ποιμανεῖ αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ ὡς τὰ σκεύη τὰ κεραμικὰ συντρίβεται ὡς κἀγὼ εἴληφα παρὰ τοῦ Πατρός μου
28And I will give him the morning star. 28καὶ δώσω αὐτῷ τὸν ἀστέρα τὸν πρωϊνόν
29He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 29Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ Πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις
