18 And to the messenger of the ecclesia in Thyatira write: `Now this the Son of God is saying, Who has His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like white bronze:"
19 '"I am aware of your acts and love and faith and service and your endurance, and your last acts are more than the former."
20 But I have much against you, seeing that you pardon that woman of yours, Jezebel, who says that she is a prophetess, and is teaching and deceiving My slaves so as to commit prostitution and to be eating idol sacrifices."
21 And I give her time that she should be repenting, and she is not willing to repent of her prostitution."
22 Lo! I will cast her into a couch, and those committing adultery with her into great affliction, if ever they will not be repenting of her acts."
23 And her children shall I be killing with death, and all the ecclesias shall know that I an He Who is searching the kidneys and hearts. And I will be giving to each of you in accord with your acts."
24 Now to you am I saying, to the rest in Thyatira, whoever have not this teaching, who do not know the deep things of Satan,' as they are saying, that I will be casting on you no other burden."
25 Moreover, what you have, hold until that time whenever I should be arriving."
26 '"And to the one who is conquering and keeping My acts until the consummation, to him will I be giving authority over the nations;"
27 and he shall be shepherding them with an iron club, as vessels of pottery are being crushed, as I also have obtained from My Father."
28 And I will give him the morning star.
29 '"Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias."'"
3 1 And to the messenger of the ecclesia in Sardis write: 'Now this He is saying Who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: '"I am aware of your acts, that you have a name that you are living, and are dead."
2 Become watchful, and establish the rest who were about to be dying; for I have not found your acts completed in the sight of My God."
3 Remember, then, how you have obtained, and hear; keep it and repent. If ever, then, you should not be watching, I shall be arriving on you as a thief, and under no circumstances will you be knowing what hour I shall be arriving on you."
4 But you have a few names in Sardis which do not pollute their garments, and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy."
5 '"The one who is conquering, he shall be clothed in white garments, and under no circumstances will I be erasing his name from the scroll of life, and I will be avowing his name in front of My Father and before His messengers."
6 '"Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias."'"
7 And to the messenger of the ecclesia in Philadelphia write: "Now this is saying the True, the Holy One, Who has the key of David, and Who is opening and no one shall be locking, and locking and no one shall be opening:"
8 '"I am aware of your acts. Lo! Before you have I granted an open door, which no one is able to lock, for you have a little power, and you keep My word and you do not disown My name."
9 Lo! I have granted to those of the synagogue of Satan, (who are saying that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are lying) - Lo! I shall be making them that they will be arriving and worshiping, before your feet, and they may know that I love you."
10 Seeing that you keep the word of My endurance, I, also, will be keeping you out of the hour of trial which is about to be coming on the whole inhabited earth to try those dwelling on the earth."
11 I am coming swiftly! Hold what you have, that no one may be taking your wreath."
12 '"The one who is conquering, him will I be making a pillar in the temple of My God, and he may be coming out nevermore, and I will be writing on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which is descending out of heaven from My God, and My new name."
13 '"Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias."'"
14 And to the messenger of the ecclesia in Laodicea write: 'Now this is saying the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, and God's Creative Original:"
15 '"I am aware of your acts, that neither cool are you nor zealous! Would that you were cool or zealous!"
16 Thus, seeing that you are indifferent, and are neither zealous nor cool, I am about to spew you out of My mouth."
17 Seeing that you are saying that 'Rich am I!' and 'Rich have I become, and of nothing have I need!' and you are not aware that you are wretched and forlorn and poor and blind and naked,
18 I am advising you to buy of Me gold refined by the fire, that you should be rich, and white garments, that you may be clothed and the shame of your nakedness may not be made manifest, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes, that you may be observing."
19 '"Whosoever I may be fond of, I am exposing and disciplining. Be zealous, then, and repent!"
20 Lo! I stand at the door and am knocking. If ever anyone should be hearing My voice and opening the door, I will also be coming in to him and dining with him, and he with Me. "
21 '"The one who is conquering, to him will I be granting to be seated with Me on My throne as I, also, conquer, and am seated with My Father on His throne."
22 '"Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias."'"
