18“你要写信告诉推雅推喇教会的天使，那位双目如火焰、双脚像闪亮精铜的上帝的儿子说，19‘我知道你的行为、爱心、信心、事奉、坚忍，也知道你末后所做的善事比起初更多。20可是有一件事我要责备你，就是你容许那自称是先知的妇人耶洗别教导我的众奴仆，引诱他们淫乱、吃祭过偶像的食物。21我曾给她悔改的机会，她却不肯悔改、离弃自己的淫乱行为，22所以我必叫她卧病在床。那些与她有染的人若不悔改，也必遭受极大的苦难。23我要击杀她的爪牙*，使众教会都知道我洞察人的心思意念，我要照你们各人的行为对待你们。24‘至于你们其余在推雅推喇的人，就是不听那邪说，没有学习所谓的撒旦玄学的人，我告诉你们，我不会将别的重担放在你们身上。25但你们要好好持守自己已经得到的，一直到我来。26至于那得胜又遵守我命令到底的人，我必赐给他统治列国的权柄，27正如我从我父得到的权柄。他必用铁杖管辖列国，将他们如同陶器一般打得粉碎。28我也要把晨星赐给他。29‘圣灵对各教会所说的话，凡有耳朵的都应当听。’

To the Church in Ephesus
1“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands.2“I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false.3I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name’s sake, and you have not grown weary.4But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.5Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.6Yet this you have: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’
To the Church in Smyrna
8“And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life.9“I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander* of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.11He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.’
To the Church in Pergamum
12“And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘The words of him who has the sharp two-edged sword.13“I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith* even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.14But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality.15So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans.16Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth.17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’
To the Church in Thyatira
18“And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.19“I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first.20But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.21I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.22Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,23and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works.24But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden.25Only hold fast what you have until I come.26The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations,27and he will rule* them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father.28And I will give him the morning star.29He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
