τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Ἐφέσῳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον: τάδε λέγει ὁ κρατῶν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ, ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἑπτὰ λυχνιῶν τῶν χρυσῶν

¬which (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῷ ἐν Ἐφέσῳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον Τάδε λέγει ὁ κρατῶν τούς ἑπτά ἀστέρας ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἑπτά λυχνιῶν τῶν χρυσῶν)

See the General Notes to this chapter for a discussion of how you could translate this verse so that there is not a quotation within a quotation and so that the letter that follows in verses 2–7 is not a quotation within a quotation within a quotation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Ἐφέσῳ

¬which (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῷ ἐν Ἐφέσῳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον Τάδε λέγει ὁ κρατῶν τούς ἑπτά ἀστέρας ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἑπτά λυχνιῶν τῶν χρυσῶν)

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, here and in verses 8, 12, and 18 you should translate the term angel the way you did in [1:20](../01/20.md). Alternate translation: [To the angel who represents the church in Ephesus] or [To the leader of the church in Ephesus] or [To the messenger of the church in Ephesus]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τάδε λέγει ὁ κρατῶν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῷ ἐν Ἐφέσῳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον Τάδε λέγει ὁ κρατῶν τούς ἑπτά ἀστέρας ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἑπτά λυχνιῶν τῶν χρυσῶν)

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, Jesus is identifying himself by referring to symbols from the vision that John describes in chapter 1. As Jesus does this, he speaks of himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [I, Jesus, the one holding the seven stars in my right hand … say these things]
