1To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These things says He holding (kraton-ruling) the seven stars in His right hand/side, walking in the midst (middle) of the seven golden lampstands:

2“I know your works and your labor and endurance, and that you are not able to tolerate (take up, carry away, bear, latin is like sustain) evil [ones]; and you have tested those claiming (saying) to be apostles and are not and you have found them false (liars); 3And you have endurance and have persevered (tolerated in last verse, latin-sustinuisti-endured like sustained) through My name and have not grown weary (exhausted, depleted, latin- defecisti like deficient). 4But rather I hold against you, that you have left (left alone, sent away from, in other verses forgiven/remitted is used here, latin-reliquisti-leave like relinquished, abandoned is a different word in greek) your first love. 5Remember therefore from where you have fallen and repent and do the first works. However if not, I am coming to you and I will remove (move) your lampstand from out of its place if you should not repent. 6But rather you have this, that you hate (detest) the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate (detest). 7The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one overcoming, I will give to him to eat from out of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

8And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These things says the First and the Last, who became dead and came to life:

9I know your tribulation and poverty—but rather you are rich (wealthy)—and the blasphemy from out of those claiming (saying) to be themselves Jews but rather are a synagogue of Satan. 10Fear not what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast [some] from out of you into prison so that you might be tested; and you shall have ten days of tribulation. Be faithful until death and I will give the crown of life to you. 11The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one overcoming shall never be harmed (latin-non laedetur-not hurt) from out of the second death.

12And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These things says the One having the sharp two-edged sword:

13I know where you reside, where the throne of Satan is; and you hold fast My name, and you have not denied (refused) My faith, even in the days of Antipas, My witness (greek-martys), My faithful [one], who was killed beside you, where Satan resides. 14But rather I have a few things against you; because you have [some] there holding the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare in the sight of the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit fornication (sexual immorality). 15So have also you, likewise [some] holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16Repent therefore! And if not, I am coming quickly (speedily) to you and will make war against (with) them with (in) the sword of My mouth. 17The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one overcoming, I will give to him the manna having been hidden; and I will give to him a white pebble (small smooth stone used to vote with in ancient elections- a white stone meant Yes and a black stone meant No), and upon the pebble a new name having been written, which no one has known, except the one receiving it.

18And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, the One having his eyes like as a flame of fire and His feet similar to fine bronze.

19I know your works, and love, and faith, and ministry (diakonian), and your endurance; and your works, the last are greater than the first. 20But rather I hold against you that you permit (latin-permittis-permit) the woman Jezebel, the one calling herself a prophetess, and who is teaching and misleading my bond-slaves to commit fornication (sexual immorality), and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21And I have given her time so that she might repent and she is not willing to repent from out of her fornication (sexual immorality). 22Behold, I will cast her unto a bed (possibly sickbed, latin-lectum-bed) and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation, except they will repent from out of her deeds. 23And her children I will kill with (in) death; and all the churches will know, that I am the One diligently searching affections (affectives, nephros- innermost emotions that drive the conscience and decision-making, kidney as a general emotional center, the reins, latin-renes-kidney) and hearts; and I will give to each of you according to your works. 24And I say to you, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will not cast upon you another burden (weight). 25Nevertheless what you have, hold fast until I might come. 26And the one overcoming and keeping (guarding) My works until the end, I will give to him authority over (upon) the ethnicities (ethnon-nations), 27And he will shepherd (poimanei-shepherd, tend, latin-reget-rule-kjv goes with latin) them with a rod (staff) of iron, like as the vessels of the potters are broken in pieces (break by crushing); like as I also have received from (from close beside) My Father. 28And I give to him the morning star. 29The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
