AICNT REV Chapter 2

REV 2 ©

2To the angel of the church {in}[fn] Ephesus write: “These things says the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:

2“I know your works, {the}[fn] labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot bear evil ones, and you have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and have found them to be false; 3and you have endurance [[and patience,]][fn] [[and have borne all tribulations]][fn] and have labored for my name's sake, and you {have not grown weary}.[fn]

4“But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to you [[quickly]][fn] and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. 6But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

7“Let the one who has ears hear what the Spirit says to the [[seven]][fn] churches. To the one who overcomes, I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in [[the midst of]][fn] the paradise of [[my]][fn] God.”

8And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: “These things says the {first}[fn] and the last, who was dead and came to life:

9“I know [[your works and]][fn] your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the blasphemy[fn] {from}[fn] those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold [[indeed]],[fn] the devil is about to throw [[some of]][fn] you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

11“Let the one who has ears hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

“The one who conquers[fn] will not be harmed by the second death.”

12And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: “These things says the one who has the sharp, double-edged sword:

13“I know [[your works and]][fn] where you dwell, where Satan's throne is, and you hold fast to my name, and did not deny {my}[fn] faith [even][fn] in the days of Antipas {my witness, my faithful one},[fn] who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

14But I have this against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught [Balak][fn] to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat food sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.[fn] 15So you also have those who hold the doctrine of [the][fn] Nicolaitans {in the same way}.[fn]

16Repent [therefore];[fn] or else I will come to you quickly and will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

17“Let the one who has ears hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

“To the one who conquers, I will give [to him][fn] [[to eat]][fn] some of the hidden manna, and [I will give him][fn] a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.”

18And to the angel [of the church][fn] in Thyatira write: “These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass:

19“I know your works, your love, your faith, [your service,][fn] and your endurance, [[and]][fn] your last works are more than the first.

20But I have this against you, that you {have left}[fn] {the}[fn] woman Jezebel, who {calls herself}[fn] a prophetess and teaches and leads my servants astray to commit sexual immorality[fn] and to eat food sacrificed to idols. 21And I gave her time to repent [, and she does not want to repent][fn] of her sexual immorality. 22Behold, I am throwing her into a bed,[fn] and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent from {her}[fn] works. 23And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am the one who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.

24But I say to {the rest of you}[fn] in Thyatira, those who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things[fn] of Satan (as they say), I will not put upon you any other burden. 25However, what you have, hold on to until I come.

26“And the one who conquers, and keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, 27And he will shepherd them with an iron rod, as the ceramic vessels {are shattered},[fn] 28just as I also have received from my Father; and I will give him the morning star.

29“Let the one who has ears hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
