Revelation 2:3-13

3WithoutG2532G3756 growing wearyG2872, you haveG2192 perseveredG5281 andG2532 endured many thingsG941 for the sake ofG1223 MyG1473 nameG3686.

4ButG235 I haveG2192 thisG3754 againstG2596 youG4771: You have abandonedG863 yourG4771 firstG4413 loveG26. 5ThereforeG3767, keep in mindG3421 how farG4159 you have fallenG4098. RepentG3340 andG2532 performG4160 theG3588 deedsG2041 you did at firstG4413. ButG1161 ifG1487 you do not repentG3361G1437G3340, I will comeG2064 to youG4771 andG2532 removeG2795 yourG4771 lampstandG3087 fromG1537 itsG846 placeG5117.

6ButG235 you haveG2192 thisG3778 to your credit: You hateG3404 theG3588 worksG2041 of theG3588 NicolaitansG3531, whichG3739 I alsoG2504 hateG3404.

7He whoG3588 hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 theG3588 SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to theG3588 churchesG1577. To theG3588 one who overcomesG3528, I will grantG1325G846 the right to eatG5315 fromG1537 theG3588 treeG3586 of lifeG2222 inG1722 theG3588 ParadiseG3857 of GodG2316.

To theG3588 angelG32 ofG3588 the churchG1577 inG1722 SmyrnaG4667 writeG1125:

TheseG3592 are the wordsG3004 of theG3588 FirstG4413 andG2532 theG3588 LastG2078, whoG3739 diedG1096G3498 andG2532 returned to lifeG2198.

9I knowG1492 yourG4771 afflictionG2347 andG2532 your povertyG4432—thoughG235 you areG1510 richG4145! AndG2532 I am aware of theG3588 slanderG988 ofG1537 those whoG3588 falselyG3756 claimG3004 to beG1510 JewsG2453, butG235 are in fact a synagogueG4864 of SatanG4567.

10Do notG3367 fearG5399 whatG3739 you are aboutG3195 to sufferG3958. BeholdG2400, theG3588 devilG1228 is aboutG3195 to throwG906 some ofG1537 youG4771 intoG1519 prisonG5438 toG2443 test youG3985, andG2532 you will sufferG2192 tribulationG2347 for tenG1176 daysG2250. BeG1096 faithfulG4103 even untoG891 deathG2288, andG2532 I will giveG1325 youG4771 theG3588 crownG4735 of lifeG2222.

11He whoG3588 hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 theG3588 SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to theG3588 churchesG1577. TheG3588 one who overcomesG3528 will not be harmedG3756G3361G91 byG1537 theG3588 secondG1208 deathG2288.

12

To theG3588 angelG32 of theG3588 churchG1577 inG1722 PergamumG4010 writeG1125:

TheseG3592 are the wordsG3004 of theG3588 One who holdsG2192 theG3588 sharpG3691, double-edgedG1366 swordG4501.

13I knowG1492 whereG4226 you liveG2730, whereG3699 theG3588 throneG2362 of SatanG4567 sits, yetG2532 you hold fastG2902 to MyG1473 nameG3686. You did not denyG3756G720 your faithG4102 in MeG1473, evenG2532 inG1722 theG3588 daysG2250 of MyG1473 faithfulG4103 witnessG3144 AntipasG493, whoG3739 was killedG615 amongG3844 youG4771 whereG3699 SatanG4567 dwellsG2730.
