CHAPTER 2
:1 Unto the angel <G 0032> of the church <G 1577> of Ephesus <G
2181> write <G
1125>; These <G 3592> things saith <G 3004> he that holdeth <G
2902> the seven
<G 2033> stars <G 0792> in his right <G 1188> hand, who <G 3588>
walketh <G
4043> in the midst <G 3319> of the seven <G 2033> golden <G
5552> candlesticks
<G 3087>;
:2 I know <G 1492> thy works <G 2041>, and thy labour <G 2873>,
and thy
patience <G 5281>, and how <G 3754> thou canst <G 1410> not bear
<G 0941> them
which are evil <G 2556>: and thou hast tried <G 3985> them which
say <G 5335>
they are apostles <G 0652>, and are not, and hast found <G 2147>
them liars <G
5571>:
:3 And hast borne <G 0941>, and hast <G 2192> patience <G 5281>,
and for my
name's <G 3686> sake hast laboured <G 2872>, and hast not
fainted <G 2577>.
:4 Nevertheless <G 0235> I have <G 2192> [somewhat] against <G
2596> thee,
because <G 3754> thou hast left <G 0863> thy first <G 4413> love
<G 0026>.
:5 Remember <G 3421> therefore <G 3767> from whence <G 4159>
thou art fallen <G
1601>, and repent <G 3340>, and do <G 4160> the first <G 4413>
works <G 2041>;
or <G 1161> else <G 1490> I will come <G 2064> unto thee quickly
<G 5035>, and
will remove <G 2795> thy candlestick <G 3087> out of his place
<G 5117>, except
<G 3362> thou repent <G 3340>.
:6 But this <G 5124> thou hast <G 2192>, that thou hatest <G
3404> the deeds <G
2041> of the Nicolaitans <G 3531>, which <G 3739> I also <G
2504> hate <G 3404>.
:7 He that hath <G 2192> an ear <G 3775>, let him hear <G 0191>
what <G 5101>
the Spirit <G 4151> saith <G 3004> unto the churches <G 1577>;
To him that
overcometh <G 3528> will I give <G 1325> to eat <G 5315> of the
tree <G 3586> of
life <G 2222>, which <G 3739> is in the midst <G 3319> of the
paradise <G 3857>
of God <G 2316>.
:8 And unto the angel <G 0032> of the church <G 1577> in Smyrna
<G 4668> write
<G 1125>; These <G 3592> things saith <G 3004> the first <G
4413> and the last
<G 2078>, which <G 3739> was dead <G 3498>, and is alive <G
2198>;
:9 I know <G 1492> thy works <G 2041>, and tribulation <G 2347>,
and poverty <G
4432>, (but thou art <G 1488> rich <G 4145>) and [I know] the
blasphemy <G 0988>
of them which <G 3588> say <G 3004> they are Jews <G 2453>, and
are not, but
[are] the synagogue <G 4864> of Satan <G 4567>.
:10 Fear <G 5399> none <G 3367> of those <G 3588> things which
<G 3739> thou
shalt suffer <G 3958>: behold <G 2400>, the devil <G 1228> shall
cast <G 0906>
[some] of you into <G 1519> prison <G 5438>, that ye may be
tried <G 3985>; and
ye shall have <G 2192> tribulation <G 2347> ten <G 1176> days <G
2250>: be thou
faithful <G 4103> unto death <G 2288>, and I will give <G 1325>
thee a crown <G
4735> of life <G 2222>.
:11 He that hath <G 2192> an ear <G 3775>, let him hear <G
0191> what <G 5101>
the Spirit <G 4151> saith <G 3004> unto the churches <G 1577>;
He that
overcometh <G 3528> shall not be hurt <G 0091> of the second <G
1208> death <G
2288>.
:12 And to the angel <G 0032> of the church <G 1577> in
Pergamos <G 4010> write
<G 1125>; These <G 3592> things saith <G 3004> he which hath <G
2192> the sharp
<G 3691> sword <G 4501> with two <G 1366> edges <G 1366>;
:13 I know <G 1492> thy works <G 2041>, and where <G 4226> thou
dwellest <G
2730>, [even] where <G 3699> Satan's <G 4567> seat <G 2362> [is]:
and thou
holdest <G 2902> fast my name <G 3686>, and hast not denied <G
0720> my faith <G
4102>, even <G 2532> in those <G 3588> days <G 2250> wherein <G
3757> Antipas <G
0493> [was] my faithful <G 4103> martyr <G 3144>, who <G 3739>
was slain <G
0615> among <G 3844> you, where <G 3699> Satan <G 4567> dwelleth
<G 2730>.
:14 But I have <G 2192> a few <G 3641> things against <G 2596>
thee, because <G
3754> thou hast <G 2192> there <G 1563> them that hold <G 2902>
the doctrine <G
1322> of Balaam <G 0903>, who <G 3739> taught <G 1321> Balac <G
0904> to cast <G
0906> a stumblingblock <G 4625> before <G 1799> the children <G
5207> of Israel
<G 2474>, to eat <G 5315> things sacrificed <G 1494> unto idols
<G 1494>, and to
commit <G 4203> fornication <G 4203>.
:15 So <G 3779> hast <G 2192> thou also <G 2532> them that hold
<G 2902> the
doctrine <G 1322> of the Nicolaitans <G 3531>, which <G 3739>
thing I hate <G
3404>.
:16 Repent <G 3340>; or <G 1161> else <G 1490> I will come <G
2064> unto thee
quickly <G 5035>, and will fight <G 4170> against <G 3326> them
with the sword
<G 4501> of my mouth <G 4750>.
:17 He that hath <G 2192> an ear <G 3775>, let him hear <G
0191> what <G 5101>
the Spirit <G 4151> saith <G 3004> unto the churches <G 1577>;
To him that
overcometh <G 3528> will I give <G 1325> to eat <G 5315> of the
hidden <G 2928>
manna <G 3131>, and will give <G 1325> him a white <G 3022>
stone <G 5586>, and
