2:1

Τω αγγελω της εν Εφεσω εκκλησιας γραψον Ταδε λεγει ο κρατων τους επτα αστερας εν τη δεξια αυτου ο περιπατων εν μεσω των επτα λυχνιων των χρυσων

To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, he that walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:

2:2

Οιδα τα εργα σου και τον κοπον και την υπομονην σου και οτι ου δυνη βαστασαι κακους και επειρασας τους λεγοντας εαυτους αποστολους και ουκ εισιν και ευρες αυτους ψευδεις

I know thy works, and thy toil and patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men, and didst try them that call themselves apostles, and they are not, and didst find them false;

2:3

και υπομονην εχεις και εβαστασας δια το ονομα μου και ου κεκοπιακες

and thou hast patience and didst bear for my name’s sake, and hast not grown weary.

2:4

Αλλα εχω κατα σου οτι την αγαπην σου την πρωτην αφηκες

But I have this against thee, that thou didst leave thy first love.

¹

2:5

μνημονευε ουν ποθεν πεπτωκας και μετανοησον και τα πρωτα εργα ποιησον ει δε μη ερχομαι σοι και κινησω την λυχνιαν σου εκ του τοπου αυτης εαν μη μετανοησης

Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou repent.

2:6

Αλλα τουτο εχεις οτι μισεις τα εργα των Νικολαιτων α καγω μισω

But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

2:7

Ο εχων ους ακουσατω τι το Πνευμα λεγει ταις εκκλησιαις Τω νικωντι δωσω αυτω φαγειν εκ του ξυλου της ζωης ο εστιν εν τω Παραδεισω του Θεου

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

2:8

Και τω αγγελω της εν Σμυρνη εκκλησιας γραψον Ταδε λεγει ο πρωτος και ο εσχατος ος εγενετο νεκρος και εζησεν

And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and lived again:

2:9

Οιδα σου την θλιψιν και την πτωχειαν αλλα πλουσιος ει και την βλασφημιαν εκ των λεγοντων Ιουδαιους ειναι εαυτους και ουκ εισιν αλλα συναγωγη του Σατανα

I know thy tribulation, and thy poverty (but thou art rich), and the blasphemy of them that say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

2:10

Μηδεν φοβου α μελλεις πασχειν ιδου μελλει βαλλειν ο διαβολος εξ υμων εις φυλακην ινα πειρασθητε και εξετε θλιψιν ημερων δεκα γινου πιστος αχρι θανατου και δωσω σοι τον στεφανον της ζωης

Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

2:11

Ο εχων ους ακουσατω τι το Πνευμα λεγει ταις εκκλησιαις Ο νικων ου μη αδικηθη εκ του θανατου του δευτερου

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

2:12

Και τω αγγελω της εν Περγαμω εκκλησιας γραψον Ταδε λεγει ο εχων την ρομφαιαν την διστομον την οξειαν

And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword:

2:13

Οιδα που κατοικεις οπου ο θρονος του Σατανα και κρατεις το ονομα μου και ουκ ηρνησω την πιστιν μου και εν ταις ημεραις Αντιπας ο μαρτυς μου ο πιστος μου ος απεκτανθη παρ υμιν οπου ο Σατανας κατοικει

I know where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s throne is; and thou holdest fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwelleth.

2:14

Αλλ εχω κατα σου ολιγα οτι εχεις εκει κρατουντας την διδαχην Βαλααμ ος εδιδασκεν τω Βαλακ βαλειν σκανδαλον ενωπιον των υιων Ισραηλ φαγειν ειδωλοθυτα και πορνευσαι

But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there some that hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.

2:15

ουτως εχεις και συ κρατουντας την διδαχην των Νικολαιτων ομοιως

So hast thou also some that hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans in like manner.

2:16

μετανοησον ουν ει δε μη ερχομαι σοι ταχυ και πολεμησω μετ αυτων εν τη ρομφαια του στοματος μου

Repent therefore; or else I come to thee quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

2:17

Ο εχων ους ακουσατω τι το Πνευμα λεγει ταις εκκλησιαις Τω νικωντι δωσω αυτω του μαννα του κεκρυμμενου και δωσω αυτω ψηφον λευκην και επι την ψηφον ονομα καινον γεγραμμενον ο ουδεις οιδεν ει μη ο λαμβανων

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.

2:18

Και τω αγγελω της εν Θυατειροις εκκλησιας γραψον Ταδε λεγει ο Υιος του Θεου ο εχων τους οφθαλμους αυτου ως φλογα πυρος και οι ποδες αυτου ομοιοι χαλκολιβανω

And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like unto burnished brass:

2:19

Οιδα σου τα εργα και την αγαπην και την πιστιν και την διακονιαν και την υπομονην σου και τα εργα σου τα εσχατα πλειονα των πρωτων

I know thy works, and thy love and faith and ministry and patience, and that thy last works are more than the first.

2:20

Αλλα εχω κατα σου οτι αφεις την γυναικα Ιεζαβελ η λεγουσα εαυτην προφητιν και διδασκει και πλανα τους εμους δουλους πορνευσαι και φαγειν ειδωλοθυτα

But I have this against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

2:21

και εδωκα αυτη χρονον ινα μετανοηση και ου θελει μετανοησαι εκ της πορνειας αυτης

And I gave her time that she should repent; and she willeth not to repent of her fornication.

2:22

Ιδου βαλλω αυτην εις κλινην και τους μοιχευοντας μετ αυτης εις θλιψιν μεγαλην εαν μη μετανοησωσιν εκ των εργων αυτης

Behold, I cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of her works.

2:23

και τα τεκνα αυτης αποκτενω εν θανατω και γνωσονται πασαι αι εκκλησιαι οτι εγω ειμι ο εραυνων νεφρους και καρδιας και δωσω υμιν εκαστω κατα τα εργα υμων

And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto each one of you according to your works.

2:24

Υμιν δε λεγω τοις λοιποις τοις εν Θυατειροις οσοι ουκ εχουσιν την διδαχην ταυτην οιτινες ουκ εγνωσαν τα βαθεα του Σατανα ως λεγουσιν ου βαλλω εφ υμας αλλο βαρος

But to you I say, to the rest that are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who know not the deep things of Satan, as they are wont to say; I cast upon you none other burden.

2:25

πλην ο εχετε κρατησατε αχρι ου αν ηξω

Nevertheless that which ye have, hold fast till I come.

2:26

Και ο νικων και ο τηρων αχρι τελους τα εργα μου δωσω αυτω εξουσιαν επι των εθνων

And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the nations:

2:27

και ποιμανει αυτους εν ραβδω σιδηρα ως τα σκευη τα κεραμικα συντριβεται

and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to shivers; as I also have received of my Father:

2:28

ως καγω ειληφα παρα του Πατρος μου και δωσω αυτω τον αστερα τον πρωινον

and I will give him the morning star.

2:29

Ο εχων ους ακουσατω τι το Πνευμα λεγει ταις εκκλησιαις

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
