Revelation 2:3-13

3and you have 1perseverance and have endured 2for My name’s sake, and have not grown weary. 4But I have this against you, that you have 3left your first love. 5Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and 4repent and 5do the 6deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your 7lampstand out of its place--unless you repent. 6Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the 8Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 79He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 10To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of 11the tree of life which is in the 12Paradise of God.’

8“And to the angel of the church in 13Smyrna write:

14The first and the last, who 1516was dead, and has come to life, says this:

9‘I know your 17tribulation and your 18poverty (but you are 19rich), and the blasphemy by those who 20say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of 21Satan. 10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be 22tested, and you will have tribulation 23for ten days. 24Be 25faithful until death, and I will give you 26the crown of life. 1127He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 28He who overcomes will not be hurt by the 29second death.’

12“And to the angel of the church in 30Pergamum write:

The One who has 31the sharp two-edged sword says this:

13‘I know where you dwell, where 32Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny 33My faith even in the days of Antipas, My 34witness, My 35faithful one, who was killed among you, 36where Satan dwells.
