Chap. II.
He is commaunded to vvrite diuers things to the churches of Ephesus, Smyrna,
Pergamus, and Thyatira: praising them that had not admitted the doctrine
of the Heretikes called Nicolaitæ, 22 and calling others by threates vnto
penance: 26 and promising revvard to him that manfully ouercommeth.
1 And note to the Angel of the Church of
Ephesus vvrite, Thus saith he vvhich09Q1509 holdeth
the seuen starres in his right hand,
vvhich vvalketh in the middes of the seuen
candlestickes of gold,
2 I knovv09Q1510 thy
vvorkes and labour, and thy patience: and
that thou canst not beare euil men, and hast tried them which
say them selues to be Apostles, and are not, and hast found
them liars:
3 and thou hast patience, and hast borne for my
-- --
name, and hast not fainted.
4 But I haue against thee a fevv
thinges, bicause note thou hast left thy first charitie.
5 Be mindeful
therfore from vvhence thou art fallen: and doe penance,
and doe the first vvorkes. But if not: I come to thee,
and09Q1511 vvil moue thy candlesticke out of his place, vnlesse
thou doe penance.
6 but this thou hast,09Q1512 because thou hatest
the factes09Q1513 of the Nicolaïtes, vvhich I also hate.
7 He that
hath an eare, let him heare vvhat the Spirit saith to the
Churches, To him that ouercommeth, I vvil giue to eate of
the tree of life, vvhich is in the Paradise of my God.
8 And to the Angel of the Church of Smyrna vvrite,
Thus saith note the first and the last, vvho vvas dead, and liueth,
9 I knovv thy tribulation and thy note pouertie, but thou art
riche: and thou art blasphemed of them that say them selues
to be Ievves and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Feare none of these thinges vvhich thou shalt suffer.
Behold the Deuil vvil send some of you into prison that you
may be tried: and you shal haue tribulation ten daies. Be thou
faithful vntil death: and I vvil giue thee note the crovvne of life.
11 He that hath an eare, let him heare vvhat the Spirit saith
to the Churches, He that shal ouercome, shal not be hurt of
the note second death.
12 And to the Angel of the Church of Pergamus vvrite,
Thus saith he that hath the sharpe tvvo edged svvord,
13 I
knovv vvhere thou dvvellest, vvhere the seate of Satan is:
and thou holdest my name, and hast not denied my faith.
And in those daies Antipas my faithful vvitnesse, vvho vvas
slaine among you, note vvhere Satan dvvelleth.
14 But I haue
against thee a fevv thinges: because thou hast there, them
that hold the doctrine of Balaam, vvho taught Balac09Q1514 to
cast a scandal before the children of Israel, to eate and commit
fornication: note
15 so hast thou also them that hold the
doctrine of the Nicolaïtes.
16 In like maner doe penance. if
not: I vvil come to thee quickly, and vvil fight against them
vvith the svvord of my mouth.
17 He that hath an eare, let
him heare vvhat the Spirit saith to the Churches, To him
that ouerc&obar;meth I vvil giue the hidden manna, and vvil giue
him a vvhite note counter: and in the counter, a nevv name Written,
vvhich no man knovveth, but he that receiueth it.
18 And to the Angel of the Church of Thyatíra vvrite,
Thus saith the Sonne of God, vvhich hath eies as a flame of
-- --
fire, and his feete like to latten.
19 I knovv thy note vvorkes,
and faith, and thy charitie, and ministerie, and thy patience
and thy last vvorkes moe then the former.
20 But I haue
against thee a fevv thinges: because thou permittest09Q1515 the
vvoman note Iezabel, vvho calleth her self a prophetesse, to
teache, and to seduce my seruantes, to fornicate, and to eate
of thinges sacrificed to idols.
21 And I gaue her a time that
she might do penance: and09Q1516 she vvil not repent from her
fornication.
22 Behold I vvil cast her into a bedde: and09Q1517 they
that commit aduoutrie vvith her, shal be in very great tribulation,
vnlesse they do penance from their vvorkes:
23 and
her children I vvil kil vnto death, and al the Churches shal
knovv note that I am he that searcheth the reines and hartes,
and I vvil giue to euery one of you note according to his
vvorkes.
24 But I say to you the rest vvhich are at Thyatira,
vvhosoeuer haue not this doctrine, vvhich haue not knowen
the note depth of Satan, as they say, I vvil not cast vpon you an
other vveight.
25 Yet that vvhich you haue, hold til I come.
26 And he that shal ouercome and keepe my vvorkes vnto
the end:09Q1518 I vvil giue him povver ouer the nations,
27 and
note he shal rule them vvith a rod of yron, and as the vessel of a
potter shal they be broken,
28 noteas I also haue receiued of
my father: and I vvil giue him the morning starre.
29 He that
hath an eare, let him heare vvhat the Spirit saith to the
Churches.
