Revelation 2
Darby Bible
1To the angelG32 of the assemblyG1577 in EphesusG2181 writeG1125: These things saysG3004 he that holdsG2902 the sevenG2033 starsG792 in his rightG1188 handG1188, who walksG4043 in the midstG3319 of the sevenG2033 goldenG5552 lamps: 2I know thy worksG2041 and [thy] labour, and thine enduranceG5281, and that thou canst not bearG941 evilG2556 [men]; and thou hast tried them who sayG3004 that themselves [areG1510] apostlesG652 and areG1510 not, and hast foundG2147 them liars; 3and endurest, and hast borneG941 for my name's sakeG1223, and hast not wearied: 4but I have against thee, that thou hast leftG863 thy firstG4413 loveG26. 5RememberG3421 thereforeG3767 whence thou art fallenG4098, and repentG3340, and do the firstG4413 worksG2041: but if not, I am comingG2064 to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its placeG5117, except thou shalt repentG3340. 6But this thou hast, that thou hatest the worksG2041 of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hateG3404. 7He that has an earG3775, let him hearG191 what the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the assemblies. To him that overcomesG3528, I will giveG1325 to him to eatG2068 of the treeG3586 of lifeG2222 which isG1510 in the paradiseG3857 of 1GodG2316. 8And to the angelG32 of the assemblyG1577 in SmyrnaG4667 writeG1125: These thingsG3739 saysG3004 the firstG4413 and the lastG2078, who becameG1096 deadG3498, and livedG2198: 9I know thy tribulationG2347 and thy povertyG4432; but thou art richG4145; and the railing of those who sayG3004 that they themselves areG1510 JewsG2453, and areG1510 not, but a synagogueG4864 of SatanG4567. 10FearG5399 nothingG3367 [of] what thou art about to sufferG3958. BeholdG2400, the devilG1228 is about to castG906 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 to thee the crownG4735 of lifeG2222. 11He that has an earG3775, let him hearG191 what the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the assemblies. He that overcomesG3528 shall in no wise be injured of the secondG1208 deathG2288. 12And to the angelG32 of the assemblyG1577 in Pergamos writeG1125: These things saysG3004 he that has the sharpG3691 two-edged swordG4501: 13I know whereG3699 thou dwellest, whereG3699 the throneG2362 of SatanG4567 [is]; and thou holdest fastG2902 my nameG3686, and hast not deniedG720 my faithG4102, evenG2532 in the daysG2250 in which Antipas my faithfulG4103 witnessG3144 [was], who was slain among you, whereG3699 SatanG4567 dwellsG2730. 14But I have a fewG3641 thingsG3739 against thee: that thou hast there those who holdG2902 the doctrine of BalaamG903, who taughtG1321 Balak to castG906 a snare before the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474, to eatG2068 [of] idol sacrifices and commitG4203 fornication. 15So thou alsoG2532 hast those who holdG2902 the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like mannerG3779. 16RepentG3340 thereforeG3767: but if not, I comeG2064 to thee quicklyG5035, and I will make warG4170 with them with the swordG4501 of my mouthG4750. 17He that has an earG3775, let him hearG191 what the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the assemblies. To him that overcomesG3528, to him will I giveG1325 of the hiddenG2928 mannaG3131; and I will giveG1325 to him a whiteG3022 stoneG5586, and on the stoneG5586 a newG2537 nameG3686 writtenG1125, which no oneG3762 knows but he that receivesG2983 [it]. 18And to the angelG32 of the assemblyG1577 in ThyatiraG2363 writeG1125: These things saysG3004 the SonG5207 of 2GodG2316, he that has his eyesG3788 as a flameG5395 of fireG4442, and his feetG4228 [are] like fine brass: 19I know thy worksG2041, and loveG26, and faithG4102, and serviceG1248, and thine enduranceG5281, and thy lastG2078 worksG2041 [to be] moreG4183 than the firstG4413. 20But I have against thee that thou permittest the womanG1135 Jezebel, she who calls herself prophetessG4398, and she teachesG1321 and leads astrayG4105 my servantsG1401 to commitG4203 fornication and eatG2068 of idol sacrifices. 21And I gaveG1325 her timeG5550 that she should repentG3340, and she willG2309 not repentG3340 of her fornication. 22BeholdG2400, I castG906 her into a bedG2825, and those that commitG3431 adulteryG3431 with her into greatG3173 tribulationG2347, unless they repentG3340 of her worksG2041, 23and her childrenG5043 will I killG615 with deathG2288; and all the assemblies shall knowG1097 that I amG1510 he that searchesG2045 [the] reins and [the] heartsG2588; and I will giveG1325 to you each accordingG2596 to your worksG2041. 24But to you I sayG3004, the restG3062 who [are] in ThyatiraG2363, as manyG3745 as have not this doctrine, who have not knownG1097 the depths of SatanG4567, as they sayG3004, I do not castG906 upon you any otherG243 burdenG922; 25but what ye have holdG2902 fastG2902 till I shall comeG2240. 26And he that overcomesG3528, and he that keepsG5083 unto the endG5056 my worksG2041, to him will I giveG1325 authorityG1849 over the nationsG1484, 27and he shall shepherdG4165 them with an ironG4603 rodG4464; as vesselsG4632 of pottery are they broken in pieces, as I alsoG2532 have receivedG2983 from my FatherG3962; 28and I will giveG1325 to him the morningG4407 starG792. 29He that has an earG3775, let him hearG191 what the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the assemblies.
