1:11 I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last:
What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] unto the
seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto
Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis,
and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
1:17 Fear not; I am the
first and the last:
1:18 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.
1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things
which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
1:20 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.
2:1 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;
2:2 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:
2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake
hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
2:4 Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou
hast left thy first love.
2:5 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.
2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the
Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
2:7 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.
2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These
things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is
alive;
2:9 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.
2:10 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.
2:11 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.
2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These
things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
2:13 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.
2:14 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.
2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the
Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will
fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
2:17 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 hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the
stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that
receiveth [it].
2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write;
These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto
a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass;
2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith,
and thy patience, and thy works; and the last [to be] more than
the first.
2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee,
because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth
herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to
commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and
she repented not.
2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit
adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of
their deeds.
2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the
churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and
hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your
works.
2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as
many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the
depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other
burden.
2:25 But that which ye have [already] hold fast till I come.
2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the
end, to him will I give power over the nations:
2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the
vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I
received of my Father.
2:28 And I will give him the morning star.
2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches.
3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These
things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the
seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou
livest, and art dead.
3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that
are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before
God.
3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and
hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I
will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour
I will come upon thee.
3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not
defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white:
for they are worthy.
3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white
raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of
life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before
his angels.
3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches.
3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write;
These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that
hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth;
and shutteth, and no man openeth;
3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open
door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength,
and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which
say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make
them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I
have loved thee.
3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also
will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come
upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast,
that no man take thy crown.
3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple
of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon
him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God,
[which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from
my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name.
3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches.
3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans
write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true
witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I
would thou wert cold or hot.
3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor
hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with
goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art
wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that
thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be
clothed, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness do not appear;
and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent.
3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear
my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will
sup with him, and he with me.
3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my
throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father
in his throne.
3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches.
22:7 Behold, I come quickly:
22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with
me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the
first and the last.
22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these
things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of
David, [and] the bright and morning star.
22:20 Surely I come
quickly.
