1To the Malakh of the congregation of Efesos write: “These things says He who holds all things, who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden Menorahs. 2I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and how you cannot endure those who are wicked; you have tried those who say they are Shlikhim and are not, and you have found them liars; 3and you have patience, and have borne burdens for My Name’s sake, and have not wearied. 4Nevertheless I have something against you, because 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 very soon, and I will remove your Menorah from its place, unless you repent. 6But this you have in your favor: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7He who has ears, let him hear what HaRu’akh says to the congregations: To him who overcomes, I will give to eat of Etz HaKhayim, which is in the midst of Gan Elohai.”
8And to the Malakh of the congregation in Smyrna write: “These things says the first and the last, which was dead and is alive: 9I know your works, and your suffering, and your poverty, but you are rich, and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Yehudim and are not, but are of the Beit K’nesset of HaSatan. 10Fear none of those things which you shall suffer; behold, the Accuser will cast some of you into prison, that you shall be tried; and you will be oppressed for ten days. Be faithful even to death, and I will give you a crown of life. 11He who has ears, let him hear what HaRu’akh says to the congregations: He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.”
12And to the Malakh of the congregation in Pergamos write: “These things says He who has the sharp, two-edged sword: 13I know your works and where you dwell, even where HaSatan’s seat is; and you uphold My Name, and you did not deny My absolute trust, even in those days when that witness of mine appeared, that faithful one of mine who was slain among you, where HaSatan dwells. 14But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the teaching of Bilam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before B’nei Yisra’el, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit adultery. 15And also you have those among you who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16Repent; or else I will come to you very soon and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. 17He who has ears, let him hear what HaRu’akh says to the congregations: To him who overcomes, I will give to eat of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knows except he who receives it.”
18And to the Malakh of the congregation in Thyatira write: “These things says Ben HaElohim, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like fine white brass; 19I know your works, and love, and absolute trust, and service, and also your patience; and your last works are to be more abundant than the first. 20Notwithstanding, I have a few things against you, because you allowed that woman of yours, Yizevel, who calls herself a Nevi’ah, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit harlotry and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21And I gave her time to repent, but she did not repent from her harlotry. 22Behold I will cast her into a coffin, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. 23And I will smite her children with death; and all the congregations shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to every one of you according to your works. 24But I say to you, the rest of you in Thyatira, those who do not have this doctrine, and those who have not known, as they say, the depths of HaSatan, that I will not put upon you another burden. 25But hold fast to that which you already have until I come. 26And he who overcomes and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations; 27and he shall shepherd them with a rod of iron; like the vessels of the potter, they shall be shattered, even as I received of Avi. 28And I will give him the morning star. 29He who has ears, let him hear what HaRu’akh says to the congregations.”
