Revelation Chapter 2 Verse 4‹Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.›

And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength.

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, ‹Fear not; I am the first and the last:›

[I am] ‹he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.›

‹Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;›

‹The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.›

‹Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;›

‹I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:›

‹And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.›

‹Nevertheless I have› [somewhat] ‹against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.›

‹But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.›

‹He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.›

‹And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;›

‹I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and› [I know] ‹the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but› [are] ‹the synagogue of Satan.›

‹Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast› [some] ‹of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.›

‹He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.›

‹And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;›

‹I know thy works, and where thou dwellest,› [even] ‹where Satan's seat› [is]: ‹and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas› [was] ‹my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.›

‹But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.›

‹So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.›
