1 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 Nicolaitans, 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 Nicolaitans, 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.
1 Efezas draudzes eņģelim raksti: tā saka Tas, kas tur labajā rokā septiņas zvaigznes un kas staigā septiņu zelta lukturu vidū: 2 Es zinu tavus darbus un pūles, tavu pacietību un ka tu nevari panest ļaunus cilvēkus un esi pārbaudījis tos, kas saucas par apustuļiem, bet nav, un esi atradis tos par melkuļiem. 3 Tev ir pacietība, tu esi grūtumu nesis Mana Vārda dēļ un neesi piekusis. 4 Bet Man pret tevi ir tas, ka tu esi atstājis savu pirmo mīlestību. 5 Tad nu pārdomā, no kā tu esi atkritis; atgriezies un dari pirmos darbus. Bet, ja ne, tad Es nākšu pie tevis un nostumšu tavu lukturi no tā vietas, ja tu neatgriezīsies. 6 Bet tas tev ir, ka tu ienīsti Nikolaītu darbus, ko arī Es ienīstu. 7 Kam ausis, tas lai dzird, ko Gars saka draudzēm: tam, kas uzvar, Es došu ēst no dzīvības koka, kas ir Dieva paradīzē. 8 Un Smirnas draudzes eņģelim raksti: tā saka Pirmais un Pēdējais, kas bija miris un tapis dzīvs: 9 Es zinu tavus grūtumus un nabadzību, bet tu esi bagāts, un ka tevi zaimo tie, kas saucas par jūdiem un nav tādi, bet ir sātana sinagoga. 10 Nebīsties par to, ka tev būs jācieš! Redzi, velns metīs cietumā kādus no jums, lai jūs tiktu pārbaudīti. Jums būs bēdas desmit dienas. Esi uzticīgs līdz nāvei, tad Es tev došu dzīvības vainagu. 11 Kam ausis, tas lai dzird, ko Gars saka draudzēm. To, kas uzvar, neievainos otrā nāve. 12 Un Pergamas draudzes eņģelim raksti: tā saka Tas, kam zobens abās pusēs ass: 13 Es zinu, ka tu dzīvo tur, kur sātana tronis, bet tu turies pie Mana Vārda un neaizliedz Manu ticību, arī Mana uzticīgā liecinieka Antipas dienās, kurš tika nokauts pie jums, kur sātans mājo. 14 Bet tas vien Man ir pret tevi, ka tev tur ir daži Balaama mācības turētāji, kas mācīja Balaku celt apgrēcību Israēla bērnu vidū, ēst elku upurus un piekopt netiklību. 15 Tev tur ir arī daži Nikolaītu mācības cienītāji. 16 Atgriezies! Bet, ja ne, tad Es nākšu drīz pie tevis un karošu pret viņiem ar Savas mutes zobenu. 17 Kam ausis, tas lai dzird, ko Gars saka draudzēm! Tam, kas uzvar, Es došu no apslēptās mannas, Es viņam došu baltu akmeni, un uz akmens būs jauns vārds rakstīts, ko neviens nezina, kā vien tas, kas to dabū. 18 Un Tiatīras draudzes eņģelim raksti: tā saka Dieva Dēls, kam acis kā uguns liesma, kam kājas līdzīgas mirdzošam varam: 19 Es zinu tavus darbus, tavu mīlestību, tavu ticību un tavu kalpošanu, un tavu pastāvību, un ka tavi pēdējie darbi ir lielāki nekā pirmie. 20 Bet Man ir pret tevi tas, ka tu ļauj vaļu sievietei Jezabelei, kas saucas par pravieti, mācīt un pievilt Manus kalpus, piekopt netiklību un ēst elku upurus. 21 Es devu viņai laiku atgriezties, bet viņa negrib atgriezties no savas netiklības. 22 Redzi, Es metīšu viņu slimības gultā un tos, kas ar viņu piekopuši netiklību, lielās bēdās, ja tie neatgriezīsies no viņas darbiem. 23 Viņas bērnus Es nonāvēšu. Visas draudzes atzīs, ka Es tas esmu, kas pārbauda īkstis un sirdis. Es došu jums katram pēc jūsu darbiem. 24 Bet Es saku jums visiem, kas esat Tiatīrā, kas neturas pie šīs mācības, kas nav atzinuši sātana dziļumus, kā viņi saka: 25 Es neuzvelšu jums nekādas citas nastas, bet, kas jums ir, to turiet, kamēr Es nākšu. 26 Un tam, kas uzvar, kas dara Manus darbus līdz galam, Es došu varu pār tautām. 27 Un viņš tās ganīs ar dzelzs zizli, kā māla traukus sadauza; kā arī Es esmu saņēmis varu no Mana Tēva. 28 Un Es došu viņam rīta zvaigzni. 29 Kam ausis, lai dzird, ko Gars saka draudzēm.
