Revelation 2

GNT

1 τῶ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν ἐφέσῳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ κρατῶν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ, ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἑπτὰ λυχνιῶν τῶν χρυσῶν·

2 οἶδα τὰ ἔργα σου καὶ τὸν κόπον καὶ τὴν ὑπομονήν σου, καὶ ὅτι οὐ δύνῃ βαστάσαι κακούς, καὶ ἐπείρασας τοὺς λέγοντας ἑαυτοὺς ἀποστόλους καὶ οὐκ εἰσίν, καὶ εὖρες αὐτοὺς ψευδεῖς·

3 καὶ ὑπομονὴν ἔχεις, καὶ ἐβάστασας διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου, καὶ οὐ κεκοπίακες.

4 ἀλλὰ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὅτι τὴν ἀγάπην σου τὴν πρώτην ἀφῆκες.

5 μνημόνευε οὗν πόθεν πέπτωκας, καὶ μετανόησον καὶ τὰ πρῶτα ἔργα ποίησον· εἰ δὲ μή, ἔρχομαί σοι καὶ κινήσω τὴν λυχνίαν σου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς, ἐὰν μὴ μετανοήσῃς.

6 ἀλλὰ τοῦτο ἔχεις, ὅτι μισεῖς τὰ ἔργα τῶν νικολαϊτῶν, ἃ κἀγὼ μισῶ.

7 ὁ ἔχων οὗς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. τῶ νικῶντι δώσω αὐτῶ φαγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ ξύλου τῆς ζωῆς, ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τῶ παραδείσῳ τοῦ θεοῦ.

8 καὶ τῶ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν σμύρνῃ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος, ὃς ἐγένετο νεκρὸς καὶ ἔζησεν·

9 οἶδά σου τὴν θλῖψιν καὶ τὴν πτωχείαν, ἀλλὰ πλούσιος εἶ, καὶ τὴν βλασφημίαν ἐκ τῶν λεγόντων ἰουδαίους εἶναι ἑαυτούς, καὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν ἀλλὰ συναγωγὴ τοῦ σατανᾶ.

10 μηδὲν φοβοῦ ἃ μέλλεις πάσχειν. ἰδοὺ μέλλει βάλλειν ὁ διάβολος ἐξ ὑμῶν εἰς φυλακὴν ἵνα πειρασθῆτε, καὶ ἕξετε θλῖψιν ἡμερῶν δέκα. γίνου πιστὸς ἄχρι θανάτου, καὶ δώσω σοι τὸν στέφανον τῆς ζωῆς.

11 ὁ ἔχων οὗς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. ὁ νικῶν οὐ μὴ ἀδικηθῇ ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου τοῦ δευτέρου.

12 καὶ τῶ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν περγάμῳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ ἔχων τὴν ῥομφαίαν τὴν δίστομον τὴν ὀξεῖαν·

13 οἶδα ποῦ κατοικεῖς, ὅπου ὁ θρόνος τοῦ σατανᾶ, καὶ κρατεῖς τὸ ὄνομά μου, καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσω τὴν πίστιν μου καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἀντιπᾶς ὁ μάρτυς μου ὁ πιστός μου, ὃς ἀπεκτάνθη παρ᾽ ὑμῖν, ὅπου ὁ σατανᾶς κατοικεῖ.

14 ἀλλ᾽ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὀλίγα, ὅτι ἔχεις ἐκεῖ κρατοῦντας τὴν διδαχὴν βαλαάμ, ὃς ἐδίδασκεν τῶ βαλὰκ βαλεῖν σκάνδαλον ἐνώπιον τῶν υἱῶν ἰσραήλ, φαγεῖν εἰδωλόθυτα καὶ πορνεῦσαι·

15 οὕτως ἔχεις καὶ σὺ κρατοῦντας τὴν διδαχὴν [τῶν] νικολαϊτῶν ὁμοίως.

16 μετανόησον οὗν· εἰ δὲ μή, ἔρχομαί σοι ταχύ, καὶ πολεμήσω μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ τοῦ στόματός μου.

17 ὁ ἔχων οὗς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. τῶ νικῶντι δώσω αὐτῶ τοῦ μάννα τοῦ κεκρυμμένου, καὶ δώσω αὐτῶ ψῆφον λευκὴν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ψῆφον ὄνομα καινὸν γεγραμμένον ὃ οὐδεὶς οἶδεν εἰ μὴ ὁ λαμβάνων.

18 καὶ τῶ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν θυατείροις ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ, ὁ ἔχων τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ὡς φλόγα πυρός, καὶ οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ὅμοιοι χαλκολιβάνῳ·

19 οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην καὶ τὴν πίστιν καὶ τὴν διακονίαν καὶ τὴν ὑπομονήν σου, καὶ τὰ ἔργα σου τὰ ἔσχατα πλείονα τῶν πρώτων.

20 ἀλλὰ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὅτι ἀφεῖς τὴν γυναῖκα ἰεζάβελ, ἡ λέγουσα ἑαυτὴν προφῆτιν, καὶ διδάσκει καὶ πλανᾷ τοὺς ἐμοὺς δούλους πορνεῦσαι καὶ φαγεῖν εἰδωλόθυτα.

21 καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτῇ χρόνον ἵνα μετανοήσῃ, καὶ οὐ θέλει μετανοῆσαι ἐκ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς.

22 ἰδοὺ βάλλω αὐτὴν εἰς κλίνην, καὶ τοὺς μοιχεύοντας μετ᾽ αὐτῆς εἰς θλῖψιν μεγάλην, ἐὰν μὴ μετανοήσωσιν ἐκ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῆς·

23 καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς ἀποκτενῶ ἐν θανάτῳ· καὶ γνώσονται πᾶσαι αἱ ἐκκλησίαι ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἐραυνῶν νεφροὺς καὶ καρδίας, καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα ὑμῶν.

24 ὑμῖν δὲ λέγω τοῖς λοιποῖς τοῖς ἐν θυατείροις, ὅσοι οὐκ ἔχουσιν τὴν διδαχὴν ταύτην, οἵτινες οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὰ βαθέα τοῦ σατανᾶ, ὡς λέγουσιν, οὐ βάλλω ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ἄλλο βάρος·

25 πλὴν ὃ ἔχετε κρατήσατε ἄχρι[ς] οὖ ἂν ἥξω.

26 καὶ ὁ νικῶν καὶ ὁ τηρῶν ἄχρι τέλους τὰ ἔργα μου, δώσω αὐτῶ ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν,

27 καὶ ποιμανεῖ αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ, ὡς τὰ σκεύη τὰ κεραμικὰ συντρίβεται,

28 ὡς κἀγὼ εἴληφα παρὰ τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ δώσω αὐτῶ τὸν ἀστέρα τὸν πρωϊνόν.

29 ὁ ἔχων οὗς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.

1  Unto the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ of Ephesus²¹⁷⁹ write;¹¹²⁵ These things³⁵⁹² saith³⁰⁰⁴ he that holdeth²⁹⁰² the³⁵⁸⁸ seven²⁰³³ stars⁷⁹² in¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁸ right hand¹¹⁸⁸ who walketh⁴⁰⁴³ in¹⁷²² the midst³³¹⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ seven²⁰³³ golden⁵⁵⁵² candlesticks;³⁰⁸⁷

2  I know¹⁴⁹² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ works,²⁰⁴¹ and²⁵³² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ labor,²⁸⁷³ and²⁵³² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ patience,⁵²⁸¹ and²⁵³² how³⁷⁵⁴ thou canst¹⁴¹⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ bear⁹⁴¹ them which are evil:²⁵⁵⁶ and²⁵³² thou hast tried³⁹⁸⁵ them which say⁵³³⁵ they are¹⁵¹¹ apostles,⁶⁵² and²⁵³² are¹⁵²⁶ not,³⁷⁵⁶ and²⁵³² hast found²¹⁴⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ liars:⁵⁵⁷¹

3  And²⁵³² hast borne,⁹⁴¹ and²⁵³² hast²¹⁹² patience,⁵²⁸¹ and²⁵³² for my name's sake^{1223 3450 3686} hast labored,²⁸⁷² and²⁵³² hast not³⁷⁵⁶ fainted.²⁵⁷⁷

4  Nevertheless²³⁵ I have²¹⁹² somewhat against²⁵⁹⁶ thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ because³⁷⁵⁴ thou hast left⁸⁶³ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ first⁴⁴¹³ love.²⁶

5  Remember³⁴²¹ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ from whence⁴¹⁵⁹ thou art fallen,¹⁶⁰¹ and²⁵³² repent,³³⁴⁰ and²⁵³² do⁴¹⁶⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ first⁴⁴¹³ works;²⁰⁴¹ or else¹⁴⁹⁰ I will come²⁰⁶⁴ unto thee⁴⁶⁷¹ quickly,⁵⁰³⁴ and²⁵³² will remove²⁷⁹⁵ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ candlestick³⁰⁸⁷ out of¹⁵³⁷ his⁸⁴⁸ place,⁵¹¹⁷ except³³⁶² thou repent.³³⁴⁰

6  But²³⁵ this⁵¹²⁴ thou hast,²¹⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ thou hatest³⁴⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ deeds²⁰⁴¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Nicolaitanes,³⁵³¹ which³⁷³⁹ I also²⁵⁰⁴ hate.³⁴⁰⁴

7  He that hath²¹⁹² an ear,³⁷⁷⁵ let him hear¹⁹¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ churches;¹⁵⁷⁷ To him⁸⁴⁶ that overcometh³⁵²⁸ will I give¹³²⁵ to eat⁵³¹⁵ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ tree³⁵⁸⁶ of life,²²²² which³⁷³⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ in¹⁷²² the midst³³¹⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ paradise³⁸⁵⁷ of God.²³¹⁶

8  And²⁵³² unto the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ in Smyrna⁴⁶⁶⁸ write;¹¹²⁵ These things³⁵⁹² saith³⁰⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ first⁴⁴¹³ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ last,²⁰⁷⁸ which³⁷³⁹ was¹⁰⁹⁶ dead,³⁴⁹⁸ and²⁵³² is alive;²¹⁹⁸

9  I know¹⁴⁹² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ works,²⁰⁴¹ and²⁵³² tribulation,²³⁴⁷ and²⁵³² poverty,⁴⁴³² (but¹¹⁶¹ thou art¹⁴⁸⁸ rich)⁴¹⁴⁵ and²⁵³² I know the³⁵⁸⁸ blasphemy⁹⁸⁸ of them which say³⁰⁰⁴ they¹⁴³⁸ are¹⁵¹¹ Jews,²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² are¹⁵²⁶ not,³⁷⁵⁶ but²³⁵ are the synagogue⁴⁸⁶⁴ of Satan.⁴⁵⁶⁷

10  Fear⁵³⁹⁹ none³³⁶⁷ of those things which³⁷³⁹ thou shalt³¹⁹⁵ suffer:³⁹⁵⁸ behold,²⁴⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ devil¹²²⁸ shall³¹⁹⁵ cast⁹⁰⁶ some of¹⁵³⁷ you⁵²¹⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ prison,⁵⁴³⁸ that²⁴⁴³ ye may be tried;³⁹⁸⁵ and²⁵³² ye shall have²¹⁹² tribulation²³⁴⁷ ten¹¹⁷⁶ days;²²⁵⁰ be¹⁰⁹⁶ thou faithful⁴¹⁰³ unto⁸⁹¹ death,²²⁸⁸ and²⁵³² I will give¹³²⁵ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ a crown⁴⁷³⁵ of life.²²²²

11  He that hath²¹⁹² an ear,³⁷⁷⁵ let him hear¹⁹¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ churches;¹⁵⁷⁷ He that overcometh³⁵²⁸ shall not³³⁶⁴ be hurt⁹¹ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ second¹²⁰⁸ death.²²⁸⁸

12  And²⁵³² to the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ in¹⁷²² Pergamos⁴⁰¹⁰ write;¹¹²⁵ These things³⁵⁹² saith³⁰⁰⁴ he which hath²¹⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ sharp³⁶⁹¹ sword⁴⁵⁰¹ with two edges;¹³⁶⁶

13  I know¹⁴⁹² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ works,²⁰⁴¹ and²⁵³² where⁴²²⁶ thou dwellest,²⁷³⁰ even where³⁶⁹⁹ Satan's⁴⁵⁶⁷ seat²³⁶² is: and²⁵³² thou holdest fast²⁹⁰² my³⁴⁵⁰ name,³⁶⁸⁶ and²⁵³² hast not³⁷⁵⁶ denied⁷²⁰ my³⁴⁵⁰ faith,⁴¹⁰² even²⁵³² in¹⁷²² those days²²⁵⁰ wherein^{1722 3739} Antipas⁴⁹³ was my³⁴⁵⁰ faithful⁴¹⁰³ martyr,³¹⁴⁴ who³⁷³⁹ was slain⁶¹⁵ among³⁸⁴⁴ you,⁵²¹³ where³⁶⁹⁹ Satan⁴⁵⁶⁷ dwelleth.²⁷³⁰

14  But²³⁵ I have²¹⁹² a few things³⁶⁴¹ against²⁵⁹⁶ thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ because³⁷⁵⁴ thou hast²¹⁹² there¹⁵⁶³ them that hold²⁹⁰² the³⁵⁸⁸ doctrine¹³²² of Balaam,⁹⁰³ who³⁷³⁹ taught¹³²¹ Balac⁹⁰⁴ to cast⁹⁰⁶ a stumblingblock⁴⁶²⁵ before¹⁷⁹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ children⁵²⁰⁷ of Israel,²⁴⁷⁴ to eat⁵³¹⁵ things sacrificed unto idols,¹⁴⁹⁴ and²⁵³² to commit fornication.⁴²⁰³

15  So³⁷⁷⁹ hast²¹⁹² thou⁴⁷⁷¹ also²⁵³² them that hold²⁹⁰² the³⁵⁸⁸ doctrine¹³²² of the³⁵⁸⁸ Nicolaitanes,³⁵³¹ which thing³⁷³⁹ I hate.³⁴⁰⁴

16  Repent;³³⁴⁰ or else¹⁴⁹⁰ I will come²⁰⁶⁴ unto thee⁴⁶⁷¹ quickly,⁵⁰³⁵ and²⁵³² will fight⁴¹⁷⁰ against³³²⁶ them⁸⁴⁶ with¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ sword⁴⁵⁰¹ of my³⁴⁵⁰ mouth.⁴⁷⁵⁰

17  He that hath²¹⁹² an ear,³⁷⁷⁵ let him hear¹⁹¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ churches;¹⁵⁷⁷ To him⁸⁴⁶ that overcometh³⁵²⁸ will I give¹³²⁵ to eat⁵³¹⁵ of⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ hidden^{2928 3588} manna,³¹³¹ and²⁵³² will give¹³²⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ a white³⁰²² stone,⁵⁵⁸⁶ and²⁵³² in¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ stone⁵⁵⁸⁶ a new²⁵³⁷ name³⁶⁸⁶ written,¹¹²⁵ which³⁷³⁹ no man³⁷⁶² knoweth¹⁰⁹⁷ saving¹⁵⁰⁸ he that receiveth²⁹⁸³ it.

18  And²⁵³² unto the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ in¹⁷²² Thyatira²³⁶³ write;¹¹²⁵ These things³⁵⁹² saith³⁰⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of God,²³¹⁶ who hath²¹⁹² his⁸⁴⁸ eyes³⁷⁸⁸ like unto⁵⁶¹³ a flame⁵³⁹⁵ of fire,⁴⁴⁴² and²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁸ feet⁴²²⁸ are like³⁶⁶⁴ fine brass;⁵⁴⁷⁴

19  I know¹⁴⁹² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ works,²⁰⁴¹ and²⁵³² charity,²⁶ and²⁵³² service,¹²⁴⁸ and²⁵³² faith,⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ patience,⁵²⁸¹ and²⁵³² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ works;²⁰⁴¹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ last²⁰⁷⁸ to be more⁴¹¹⁹ than the³⁵⁸⁸ first.⁴⁴¹³

20  Notwithstanding²³⁵ I have²¹⁹² a few things³⁶⁴¹ against²⁵⁹⁶ thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ because³⁷⁵⁴ thou sufferest¹⁴³⁹ that woman¹¹³⁵ Jezebel,²⁴⁰³ which calleth³⁰⁰⁴ herself¹⁴³⁸ a prophetess,⁴³⁹⁸ to teach¹³²¹ and²⁵³² to seduce⁴¹⁰⁵ my¹⁶⁹⁹ servants¹⁴⁰¹ to commit fornication,⁴²⁰³ and²⁵³² to eat⁵³¹⁵ things sacrificed unto idols.¹⁴⁹⁴

21  And²⁵³² I gave¹³²⁵ her⁸⁴⁶ space⁵⁵⁵⁰ to²⁴⁴³ repent³³⁴⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ her⁸⁴⁸ fornication;⁴²⁰² and²⁵³² she repented³³⁴⁰ not.³⁷⁵⁶

22  Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ will cast⁹⁰⁶ her⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ a bed,²⁸²⁵ and²⁵³² them that commit adultery³⁴³¹ with³³²⁶ her⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ great³¹⁷³ tribulation,²³⁴⁷ except³³⁶² they repent³³⁴⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ their⁸⁴⁸ deeds.²⁰⁴¹

23  And²⁵³² I will kill⁶¹⁵ her⁸⁴⁸ children⁵⁰⁴³ with¹⁷²² death;²²⁸⁸ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ churches¹⁵⁷⁷ shall know¹⁰⁹⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ he which searcheth²⁰⁴⁵ the reins³⁵¹⁰ and²⁵³² hearts:²⁵⁸⁸ and²⁵³² I will give¹³²⁵ unto every one¹⁵³⁸ of you⁵²¹³ according²⁵⁹⁶ to your⁵²¹⁶ works.²⁰⁴¹

24  But¹¹⁶¹ unto you⁵²¹³ I say,³⁰⁰⁴ and²⁵³² unto the rest³⁰⁶² in¹⁷²² Thyatira,²³⁶³ as many as³⁷⁴⁵ have²¹⁹² not³⁷⁵⁶ this⁵⁰²⁶ doctrine,¹³²² and²⁵³² which³⁷⁴⁸ have not³⁷⁵⁶ known¹⁰⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ depths⁸⁹⁹ of Satan,⁴⁵⁶⁷ as⁵⁶¹³ they speak;³⁰⁰⁴ I will put⁹⁰⁶ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ you⁵²⁰⁹ none³⁷⁵⁶ other²⁴³ burden.⁹²²

25  But⁴¹³³ that which³⁷³⁹ ye have²¹⁹² already hold fast²⁹⁰² till^{891 3757} I come.^{2240 302}

26  And²⁵³² he that overcometh,³⁵²⁸ and²⁵³² keepeth⁵⁰⁸³ my³⁴⁵⁰ works²⁰⁴¹ unto⁸⁹¹ the end,⁵⁰⁵⁶ to him⁸⁴⁶ will I give¹³²⁵ power¹⁸⁴⁹ over¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ nations:¹⁴⁸⁴

27  And²⁵³² he shall rule⁴¹⁶⁵ them⁸⁴⁶ with¹⁷²² a rod⁴⁴⁶⁴ of iron;⁴⁶⁰³ as⁵⁶¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ vessels⁴⁶³² of a potter²⁷⁶⁴ shall they be broken to shivers:⁴⁹³⁷ even as⁵⁶¹³ I²⁵⁰⁴ received²⁹⁸³ of³⁸⁴⁴ my³⁴⁵⁰ Father.³⁹⁶²

28  And²⁵³² I will give¹³²⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ morning⁴⁴⁰⁷ star.⁷⁹²

29  He that hath²¹⁹² an ear,³⁷⁷⁵ let him hear¹⁹¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ churches.¹⁵⁷⁷

Vul

1 Angelo Ephesi ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit, qui tenet septem stellas in dextera sua, qui ambulat in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum:

2 Scio opera tua, et laborem, et patientiam tuam, et quia non potes sustinere malos: et tentasti eos, qui se dicunt apostolos esse, et non sunt: et invenisti eos mendaces:

3 et patientiam habes, et sustinuisti propter nomen meum, et non defecisti.

4 Sed habeo adversum te, quod caritatem tuam primam reliquisti.

5 Memor esto itaque unde excideris: et age pœnitentiam, et prima opera fac: sin autem, venio tibi, et movebo candelabrum tuum de loco suo, nisi pœnitentiam egeris.

6 Sed hoc habes, quia odisti facta Nicolaitarum, quæ et ego odi.

7 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis: Vincenti dabo edere de ligno vitæ, quod est in paradiso Dei mei.

8 Et angelo Smyrnæ ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit primus, et novissimus, qui fuit mortuus, et vivit:

9 Scio tribulationem tuam, et paupertatem tuam, sed dives es: et blasphemaris ab his, qui se dicunt Judæos esse, et non sunt, sed sunt synagoga Satanæ.

10 Nihil horum timeas quæ passurus es. Ecce missurus est diabolus aliquos ex vobis in carcerem ut tentemini: et habebitis tribulationem diebus decem. Esto fidelis usque ad mortem, et dabo tibi coronam vitæ.

11 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis: Qui vicerit, non lædetur a morte secunda.

12 Et angelo Pergami ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit qui habet rhomphæam utraque parte acutam:

13 Scio ubi habitas, ubi sedes est Satanæ: et tenes nomen meum, et non negasti fidem meam. Et in diebus illis Antipas testis meus fidelis, qui occisus est apud vos ubi Satanas habitat.

14 Sed habeo aversus te pauca: quia habes illic tenentes doctrinam Balaam, qui docebat Balac mittere scandalum coram filiis Israël, edere, et fornicari:

15 ita habes et tu tenentes doctrinam Nicolaitarum.

16 Similiter pœnitentiam age: si quominus veniam tibi cito, et pugnabo cum illis in gladio oris mei.

17 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis: Vincenti dabo manna absconditum, et dabo illi calculum candidum: et in calculo nomen novum scriptum, quod nemo scit, nisi qui accipit.

18 Et angelo Thyatiræ ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit Filius Dei, qui habet oculos tamquam flammam ignis, et pedes ejus similes auricalco:

19 Novi opera tua, et fidem, et caritatem tuam, et ministerium, et patientiam tuam, et opera tua novissima plura prioribus.

20 Sed habeo adversus te pauca: quia permittis mulierem Jezabel, quæ se dicit propheten, docere, et seducere servos meos, fornicari, et manducare de idolothytis.

21 Et dedi illi tempus ut pœnitentiam ageret: et non vult pœnitere a fornicatione sua.

22 Ecce mittam eam in lectum: et qui mœchantur cum ea, in tribulatione maxima erunt, nisi pœnitentiam ab operibus suis egerint.

23 Et filios ejus interficiam in morte, et scient omnes ecclesiæ, quia ego sum scrutans renes, et corda: et dabo unicuique vestrum secundum opera sua. Vobis autem dico,

24 et ceteris qui Thyatiræ estis: quicumque non habent doctrinam hanc, et qui non cognoverunt altitudines Satanæ, quemadmodum dicunt, non mittam super vos aliud pondus:

25 tamen id quod habetis, tenete donec veniam.

26 Et qui vicerit, et custodierit usque in finem opera mea, dabo illi potestatem super gentes,

27 et reget eas in virga ferrea, et tamquam vas figuli confringentur,

28 sicut et ego accepi a Patre meo: et dabo illi stellam matutinam.

29 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis.
