was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
[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.
[15]
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
[16] Repent; or else
I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
[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.
[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;
[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.
[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.
[21] And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and
she repented not.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[25] But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
[26] And he that overcometh, and
keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
[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.
[28] And I will give him the morning star.
[29] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches.
Rev.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.
[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] 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.
[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.
[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.
[6] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
[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;
[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.
[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.
[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.
[11] Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast,
that no man take thy crown.
[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.
[13] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
[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;
[15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor
hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
[16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,
I will spue thee out of my mouth.
[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:
[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
