Etheridge(i)
11 What thou seest, write in a book; and send to the seven churches, at Ephesos, and at Smurna, and at Pergamos, and at Thiatira, and at Sardis, and at Philidaphia,[Thus spelt in the Syriac copies.] and at Laodikia.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me; and being turned, I saw seven candlesticks of gold.
13 And in the midst of the candlesticks (one) who was like the Son of man, clothed to the foot, and girded about his paps with a circlet of gold.
14 But his head and hair were white as wool, white as snow; and his eyes (were) as a flame of fire,
15 and his feet were like refined brass,* which flamed as in a furnace, and his voice as the voice of many waters. [* Nechosho Lebanonoio. The - of the Greek text.]
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars; and from his mouth a sharp sword of two edges went forth; and his countenance was as the sun shining in his strength.
17 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid upon me his right hand, saying, Fear not: I am the First and the Last;
18 and who liveth and who have been dead; and, behold, I am alive for ever and ever. Amen! And I have the keys of death and of Sheul.
19 Write, then, what thou hast seen; and those which are, and those which are to be after them.
20 (This is) the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and of the seven candlesticks of gold: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.
2 1 To the angel of the church which is in Ephesos, write: These saith the Holder of all,[Achid Kul.] and of the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven candlesticks of gold.
2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and (that) thou canst not bear evils; and hast tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.
3 And thou hast patience, and hast laboured on account of my name, and hast not fainted.
