Revelation 2:3-13
3and thou hast patience and didst bearG941 for my name’sG3686 sakeG1223, and hast not grown weary. 4But I have this against thee, that thou didst leaveG863 thy firstG4413 loveG26. 5RememberG3421 thereforeG3767 whence thou art fallenG4098, and repentG3340 and do the firstG4413 worksG2041; or else I comeG2064 to thee, and will moveG2795 thy candlestick out of its placeG5117, except thou repentG3340. 6But this thou hast, that thou hatest the worksG2041 of the NicolaitansG3531, which I also hateG3404. 7He that hath an earG3775, let him hearG191 what the SpiritG4151 saith to the churchesG1577. To him that overcometh, to him will I giveG1325 to eatG2068 of the treeG3586 of lifeG2222, which isG1510 in the ParadiseG3857 of GodG2316.
8And to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in SmyrnaG4667 writeG1125:
These thingsG3739 saith the firstG4413 and the lastG2078, who was deadG3498, and livedG2198 again: 9I know thy tribulationG2347, and thy povertyG4432 (but thou art richG4145), and the blasphemyG988 of them that sayG3004 they areG1510 JewsG2453, and they areG1510 not, but areG1510 a synagogueG4864 of SatanG4567. 10FearG5399 not the thingsG3739 which thou art about to sufferG3958: beholdG2400, the devilG1228 is about to castG906 some of you into prisonG5438, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulationG2347 tenG1176 daysG2250. Be thou faithfulG4103 unto deathG2288, and I will giveG1325 thee the crownG4735 of lifeG2222. 11He that hath an earG3775, let him hearG191 what the SpiritG4151 saith to the churchesG1577. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the secondG1208 deathG2288.
12And to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in PergamumG4010 writeG1125:
These things saith he that hath the sharpG3691 two-edged swordG4501: 13I know whereG3699 thou dwellest, evenG2532 whereG3699 Satan’s throneG2362 is; and thou holdest fastG2902 my nameG3686, and didst not denyG720 my faithG4102, evenG2532 in the daysG2250 of Antipas my witnessG3144, my faithfulG4103 oneG3739, who was killedG615 among you, whereG3699 SatanG4567 dwelleth.
