Revelation 2 Cross References - RKJNT

¹ To the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands; ² I know your works, and your labour, and your patience, and how you cannot bear those who are evil, and how you have tested those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them to be liars; ³ And how you have persevered, and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary. ⁴ Yet I have this against you, that you have left your first love. ⁵ Remember the height from which you have fallen, and repent, and do the works you did at first; or else I will come to you, and will remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. ⁶ But this you have in your favour, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. ⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To him who overcomes I will give the right to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. ⁸ And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These are the words of him who is the first and the last, who was dead, and came to life; ⁹ I know your tribulation and your poverty, (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. ¹⁰ Do not fear any of those things which you shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you shall have tribulation ten days: be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life. ¹¹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death. ¹² And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write; These are the words of him who has the sharp sword with two edges; ¹³ I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is: and that you hold fast to my name, and have not denied my faith, even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells. ¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, that they might eat things sacrificed to idols, and commit sexual immorality. ¹⁵ In the same way you also have those who hold to the teachings of the Nicolaitans. ¹⁶ Therefore repent; or else I will come to you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. ¹⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knows except him who receives it. ¹⁸ And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These are the words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bonze; ¹⁹ I know your works, and your love, and faith, and service, and perseverance, and that your recent works are greater than those you did at first. ²⁰ Nevertheless, I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and teaches and beguiles my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. ²¹ And I gave her time to repent; but she refuses to repent of her immorality. ²² Behold, I will cast her upon a bed of anguish, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. ²³ And I will strike her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searches minds and hearts: and I will give to every one of you as your deeds deserve. ²⁴ But I say to you, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not hold to this teaching, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they call them; I will put upon you no other burden; ²⁵ Only that you hold fast to what you have, until I come. ²⁶ And he who overcomes, and does my will to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations; ²⁷ And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as when the vessels of a potter are broken to pieces: just as I received authority from my Father. ²⁸ And I will give him the morning star. ²⁹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

²² Strengthening the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying that through much tribulation we must enter the kingdom of God.

²⁰ But that we write to them, to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from sexual immorality, and from things strangled, and from blood.

²⁰ But that we write to them, to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from sexual immorality, and from things strangled, and from blood. ²¹ For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who preach him, for he is read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

²⁸ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; ²⁹ That you abstain from foods offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you shall do well. Farewell.

³⁰ Those times of ignorance God overlooked; but now he commands all men everywhere to repent: ³¹ Because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom he has ordained; and he has given assurance of this to all men by raising him from the dead.

⁴ Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience; not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? ⁵ But because of your hard and unrepentant heart you are storing up for yourself wrath on the day of wrath when the righteous judgment of God shall be revealed;

⁵ But because of your hard and unrepentant heart you are storing up for yourself wrath on the day of wrath when the righteous judgment of God shall be revealed; ⁶ Who will render to every man according to his deeds: ⁷ To those who by patience in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

⁷ To those who by patience in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: ⁸ But to those who are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath. ⁹ There shall be tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man who does evil, first for the Jew, and also for the Greek; ¹⁰ But glory, honour, and peace for every man who does good works, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek: ¹¹ For there is no partiality with God.

¹⁷ Behold, if you call yourself a Jew, and rely upon the law, and boast of your relationship with God,

²⁸ For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; neither is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh: ²⁹ But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, by the spirit, and not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.

³ And not only this, but we also rejoice in tribulations: knowing that tribulation works perseverance;

³ And not only this, but we also rejoice in tribulations: knowing that tribulation works perseverance; ⁴ And perseverance, character; and character, hope:

²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not see, then we wait for it with patience.

²⁷ And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

³² He who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also, with him, freely give us all things?

³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

³⁷ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

⁶ But it is not as though the word of God has had no effect. For they are not all Israel, who are descended from Israel:

²² What if God, desiring to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with great patience the vessels of wrath made for destruction:

³² Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone;

⁹ And David says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a retribution to them:

⁹ Let love be genuine. Abhor that which is evil; cling to that which is good.

¹² Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; faithful in prayer;

¹² So then, every one of us shall give an account of himself to God. ¹³ Therefore, let us not judge one another any more: but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle in a brother's way.

²¹ It is good not to eat meat, or to drink wine, or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.

⁴ For whatever things were written in the past were written for our instruction, that through endurance and the encouragement of the scriptures, we might have hope. ⁵ Now may the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, according to Christ Jesus:

¹² Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who laboured much in the Lord.

²³ But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness;

¹⁰ But God has revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

¹⁴ But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

⁵ Therefore, judge nothing before the time; before the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the things hidden in darkness, and will disclose the motives of the heart: and then every man shall have his praise from God.

³ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life? ⁴ If then you have such disputes, set them before those who are least esteemed in the church.

¹³ Food is for the belly, and the belly for food: but God shall destroy both of them. The body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. ¹⁴ And God has raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his power. ¹⁵ Do you not know that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a prostitute? Never. ¹⁶ Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? for the two, he says, shall become one flesh. ¹⁷ But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. ¹⁸ Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside his body; but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

² Nevertheless, to avoid impurity, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

⁴ Therefore, concerning the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one. ⁵ For though there are things that are called gods, in heaven and on earth, (and indeed there are many gods, and many lords,) ⁶ But for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we exist through him. ⁷ Yet, not every man has this knowledge: for some are still accustomed to idols, and eat a thing as if it were really offered to an idol; and because their conscience is weak it is defiled. ⁸ But food does not commend us to God: if we eat, we are none the better; if we do not eat, we are none the worse. ⁹ But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. ¹⁰ For if any man sees you, who have knowledge, eating in an idol's temple, shall not the conscience of the one who is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols?

¹⁰ For if any man sees you, who have knowledge, eating in an idol's temple, shall not the conscience of the one who is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols? ¹¹ And so through your knowledge the weak brother is ruined, he for whom Christ died.

¹¹ And so through your knowledge the weak brother is ruined, he for whom Christ died. ¹² Thus, when you sin against the brethren in this way, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

¹² Thus, when you sin against the brethren in this way, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. ¹³ Therefore, if food makes my brother fall, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother fall.

²⁵ And every man who competes is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown; but we an imperishable.

¹⁸ Behold the people of Israel: are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers in the altar?

¹⁸ Behold the people of Israel: are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers in the altar? ¹⁹ What do I say then? that an idol is anything, or that food offered in sacrifice to idols is anything?

¹⁹ What do I say then? that an idol is anything, or that food offered in sacrifice to idols is anything? ²⁰ No, but I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I do not want you to have fellowship with devils.

²⁰ No, but I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I do not want you to have fellowship with devils. ²¹ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: you cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

²¹ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: you cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. ²² Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? ²³ All things are lawful for me, but not all things are beneficial: all things are lawful for me, but not all things are constructive. ²⁴ Let no man seek his own good, but the good of others. ²⁵ Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, without asking questions for conscience sake: ²⁶ For the earth is the Lord's, and all it contains. ²⁷ If any of those who do not believe ask you to a meal, and you are disposed to go; eat whatever is set before you, without asking questions for conscience sake. ²⁸ But if any man says to you, This has been offered in sacrifice to idols, do not eat, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience sake:

²⁸ But if any man says to you, This has been offered in sacrifice to idols, do not eat, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience sake: ²⁹ I do not mean your conscience, but his: for why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? ³⁰ If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks? ³¹ Therefore, whether you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

²⁶ For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

⁴ Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are various kinds of service, but the same Lord. ⁶ And there are various kinds of working, but it is the same God who works all of them in all men. ⁷ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each man for the common good. ⁸ For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; ⁹ To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by that one Spirit; ¹⁰ To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another various kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ But all these things are by one and the same Spirit, who distributes to every man as he wills. ¹² For just as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body: so it is with Christ.

¹ If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become a noisy gong, or a clanging cymbal. ² And if I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so that I can remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³ And if I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. ⁴ Love is patient, and is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast, and is not arrogant; ⁵ It is not rude, does not insist on its own way, is not easily provoked, it keeps no account of wrongs suffered; ⁶ It does not rejoice in injustice, but rejoices in the truth; ⁷ Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

⁷ Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. ⁸ Love never fails: but where there are prophecies, they shall pass away; where there are tongues, they shall cease; where there is knowledge, it shall vanish away.

¹⁶ That you submit yourselves to such as these, and to everyone who helps in the work, and labours earnestly.

¹¹ Lest Satan should take advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

¹ Therefore, since we have this ministry by God's mercy, we do not loose heart;

¹⁶ For this reason we do not loose heart; but though our outer man perish, yet the inner man is renewed day by day.

⁹ Therefore we labour, that whether at home or absent, we may please him. ¹⁰ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive what is due him for the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

⁵ In beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in sleeplessness, in hunger;

¹⁰ As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

² For during a great test of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty overflowed in a wealth of liberality.

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that through his poverty you might become rich.

¹⁵ We do not boast of things without limit, that is, of other men's labours; but we have hope, when your faith has increased, that our field among you shall be greatly enlarged,

³ But I fear, lest, as the serpent deceived Eve through his cunning, so your minds will be led astray from the simplicity that is in Christ.

¹³ For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no wonder; for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. ¹⁵ Therefore it is no surprise if his servants are also disguised as servants of righteousness; their end shall be according to their works.

²³ Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more so; in labours more abundant, in beatings beyond number, in prison more frequently, in danger of death often.

⁴ Was caught up into paradise, and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

²¹ And I fear that, when I come again, my God may humble me before you, and I shall mourn over many who have sinned and have not repented of the impurity and sexual sin and licentiousness which they have committed.

⁷ Which is not truly another; but there are some who trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

⁴ You who would be justified by the law, you have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen from grace.

² Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

⁵ For every man shall bear his own burden.

⁹ And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we do not loose heart.

² In which you walked in times past, according to the ways of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.

¹⁴ That we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming.

¹¹ Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the powers of darkness of this world, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the powers of darkness of this world, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and in all discernment;

¹⁶ Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain.

¹³ Brethren, I do not consider myself to have laid hold of it yet: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth to those things which are ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for the prize, to which God has called me upward in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Therefore, let us, as many as are mature, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, God shall also reveal this to you. ¹⁶ Only let us hold true to that which we have already attained.

³ And I ask you also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they have laboured with me in the gospel, together with Clement, and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life.

¹¹ Strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, with all endurance and patience with joyfulness;

³ For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

¹⁴ And above all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

³ Always remembering your work of faith, and labour of love, and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of our God and Father;

⁹ For you remember, brethren, our toil and hardship: we laboured night and day, because we did not want to burden any of you as we preached to you the gospel of God.

⁴ For truly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we should suffer tribulation; just as it came to pass, as you know. ⁵ For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to learn of your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labour might have been in vain. ⁶ But now that Timothy has come from you to us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and reported that you always remember us kindly, greatly desiring to see us, as we also desire to see you:

⁹ But regarding brotherly love you do not need any one to write to you: for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another. ¹⁰ And indeed you do love all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but we urge you, brethren, that you do so more and more;

¹² And we urge you, brethren, to respect those who labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

²¹ Test all things; hold fast that which is good.

³ We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith grows abundantly, and the love of every one of you for each other grows greater;

⁶ It is a righteous thing for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you; ⁷ And to give rest to you who are afflicted, along with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

⁸ And then shall the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and shall destroy by the brightness of his coming. ⁹ The coming of the lawless one is through the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders, ¹⁰ And with all wicked deception for those who perish; because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And for this reason God shall send them a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: ¹² That all those might be condemned who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness.

⁵ May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the steadfastness of Christ.

⁸ Nor did we eat any man's bread without paying; but with labour and toil we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you:

¹³ But you, brethren, do not be weary in doing good.

⁵ Now the aim of this commandment is love from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and a sincere faith:

¹³ Though I was formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a violent man: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

¹⁰ For this reason we both labour and strive, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those who believe.

⁸ But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

¹⁷ Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in preaching and teaching.

¹⁸ They are to do good, that they may be rich in good works, generous and willing to share;

¹³ Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

¹² If we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he will deny us:

¹⁹ Nevertheless, the foundation of God stands firm, having this seal, The Lord knows those who are his. And, Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.

²⁵ In gentleness correcting those who oppose him; that God might grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth; ²⁶ And that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

⁷ I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: ⁸ Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me on that day: and not only to me, but also to all those who have longed for his appearing.

⁶ But Christ was faithful as a son over his own house, whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and our joyful hope.

¹² For the word of God is alive, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart. ¹³ Nor is there any creature concealed from his sight: but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. ¹⁴ Seeing then that we have a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget the work and love which you have shown for his name's sake in having ministered to the saints, as you continue to do.

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget the work and love which you have shown for his name's sake in having ministered to the saints, as you continue to do. ¹¹ And we desire that every one of you show the same diligence in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end: ¹² That you may not grow slothful, but be followers of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

¹⁵ And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

²³ Let us hold fast the profession of our hope, without wavering; (for he who promised is faithful;)

³² But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle in the face of afflictions;

³⁶ For you have need of endurance, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.

³⁸ But my righteous one shall live by faith: but if any man draws back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. ³⁹ But we are not of those who draw back to destruction; but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

¹ Therefore, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily entangle us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

³ For consider him who endured such hostility from sinners against himself, lest you grow weary and fainthearted. ⁴ You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood in your striving against sin. ⁵ And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as sons, My son, do not think lightly of the discipline of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by him:

⁴ Marriage is to be held in honour by all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled: for the sexually immoral and adulterers God will judge.

¹³ Therefore, let us go forth to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.

³ Knowing that the trying of your faith produces endurance. ⁴ And let endurance have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

¹² Blessed is the man who endures trial: for when he has stood the test, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love him.

⁵ Listen, my beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him? ⁶ But you have despised the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you, and drag you into court? ⁷ Is it not they who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?

²⁰ Do you want to be shown, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

⁷ Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and is patient for it, until it receives the early and the late rains. ⁸ You also be patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws near. ⁹ Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door. ¹⁰ My brethren, take the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering, and of patience. ¹¹ Behold, we count as happy those who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the outcome the Lord brought about; that the Lord is full of compassion, and of tender mercy.

⁶ In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a time you may have to suffer various trials: ⁷ That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold, which perishes, though it is tested by fire, might be found to result in praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ And if you address as Father the one who without partiality judges according to every man's work, then pass the time of your stay on earth in reverent fear:

⁸ And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; they stumble at the word, being disobedient: as they were appointed to do.

²⁰ Who long ago were disobedient, when God patiently waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was prepared, in which a few, that is, eight people, were saved through water.

⁸ Above all things have fervent love for one another: for love covers a multitude of sins.

⁴ And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that does not fade away.

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, like a roaring lion, walks about, seeking someone he may devour.

⁶ And to knowledge self-control; and to self-control perseverance; and to perseverance godliness; ⁷ And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness love.

¹² Therefore, I will always remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the truth you now have. ¹³ Yea, I think it right, as long as I am in this tent of my body, to stir you up way of reminder;

¹⁹ And so we have the word of prophecy made more certain; to which you would do well to take heed, as to a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:

¹ But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who secretly shall bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. ² And many shall follow their licentious ways; and because of them the way of truth shall be maligned. ³ And in greed they shall exploit you with false words: the judgment against them from of old does not linger, and their condemnation does not slumber.

¹⁵ Who have forsaken the right way, and have gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

⁹ The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some men count slowness; but is patient toward you, not wanting that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in which the heavens shall pass away with a roar, and the elements shall be destroyed with fervent heat, the earth and the works that are upon it shall be burned up.

¹⁵ And consider the patience of our Lord to be salvation; just as our beloved brother Paul has written to you, according to the wisdom given to him,

¹⁸ But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen.

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us: but they went out, that it might be made clear that none of them were of us.

²¹ I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth. ²² Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.

²³ And this is his commandment, That we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he commanded us.

¹ Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

⁴ For everyone who is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. ⁵ Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁵ Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁹ Whoever runs too far ahead, and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. He who abides in the teaching of Christ has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, or give him any encouragement:

³ Beloved, while my whole concern was to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write and exhort you to earnestly contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. ⁴ For certain men have crept in secretly, who were long ago ordained for this condemnation; ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into licentiousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

¹¹ Woe to them! for they have gone the way of Cain, and for profit have plunged into the error of Balaam, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah.

²⁴ Now to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless in the presence of his glory with exceedingly great joy,

⁷ Behold, he comes with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, even those who pierced him: and all families of the earth shall mourn because of him. Even so, Amen. ⁸ I am Alpha and Omega, says the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. ⁹ I, John, your brother and companion in the tribulation, and kingdom, and endurance which are ours in Jesus, was on the island that is called Patmos, because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

¹¹ Saying, What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

¹¹ Saying, What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea. ¹² And I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands; ¹³ And in the midst of the seven lampstands, one like a Son of man, clothed with a garment down to his feet, and around his breast a golden girdle. ¹⁴ His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were like a flame of fire; ¹⁵ And his feet like burnished bronze, as if they glowed in a furnace; and his voice like the sound of many waters. ¹⁶ And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword: and his face was like the sun shining at full strength. ¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as if dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying to me, Do not fear; I am the first and the last, ¹⁸ The one who lives; I was dead, and, behold, I am alive forevermore, and possess the keys of death and of Hades.

²⁰ The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

¹ To the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands; ² I know your works, and your labour, and your patience, and how you cannot bear those who are evil, and how you have tested those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them to be liars;

² I know your works, and your labour, and your patience, and how you cannot bear those who are evil, and how you have tested those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them to be liars; ³ And how you have persevered, and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary. ⁴ Yet I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

⁴ Yet I have this against you, that you have left your first love. ⁵ Remember the height from which you have fallen, and repent, and do the works you did at first; or else I will come to you, and will remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. ⁶ But this you have in your favour, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. ⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To him who overcomes I will give the right to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. ⁸ And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These are the words of him who is the first and the last, who was dead, and came to life; ⁹ I know your tribulation and your poverty, (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

⁹ I know your tribulation and your poverty, (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. ¹⁰ Do not fear any of those things which you shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you shall have tribulation ten days: be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life. ¹¹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death. ¹² And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write; These are the words of him who has the sharp sword with two edges; ¹³ I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is: and that you hold fast to my name, and have not denied my faith, even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.

¹³ I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is: and that you hold fast to my name, and have not denied my faith, even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells. ¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, that they might eat things sacrificed to idols, and commit sexual immorality.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, that they might eat things sacrificed to idols, and commit sexual immorality. ¹⁵ In the same way you also have those who hold to the teachings of the Nicolaitans. ¹⁶ Therefore repent; or else I will come to you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. ¹⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knows except him who receives it. ¹⁸ And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These are the words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bonze; ¹⁹ I know your works, and your love, and faith, and service, and perseverance, and that your recent works are greater than those you did at first.

¹⁹ I know your works, and your love, and faith, and service, and perseverance, and that your recent works are greater than those you did at first. ²⁰ Nevertheless, I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and teaches and beguiles my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

²⁰ Nevertheless, I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and teaches and beguiles my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. ²¹ And I gave her time to repent; but she refuses to repent of her immorality.

²¹ And I gave her time to repent; but she refuses to repent of her immorality. ²² Behold, I will cast her upon a bed of anguish, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.

²⁴ But I say to you, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not hold to this teaching, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they call them; I will put upon you no other burden; ²⁵ Only that you hold fast to what you have, until I come. ²⁶ And he who overcomes, and does my will to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations; ²⁷ And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as when the vessels of a potter are broken to pieces: just as I received authority from my Father. ²⁸ And I will give him the morning star. ²⁹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

¹ And to the angel of the church in Sardis write; These are the words of him who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. ² Awake, and strengthen those things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of God. ³ Therefore, remember what you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If you will not awaken, I will come like a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.

³ Therefore, remember what you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If you will not awaken, I will come like a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.

⁵ He who overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white garments; and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

⁵ He who overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white garments; and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. ⁶ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

⁶ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. ⁷ And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These are the words of he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens; ⁸ I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: I know you have but little strength, yet you have kept my word, and have not denied my name.

⁸ I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: I know you have but little strength, yet you have kept my word, and have not denied my name. ⁹ Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but lie; behold, I will make them to come and bow down before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

⁹ Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but lie; behold, I will make them to come and bow down before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. ¹⁰ Because you have kept my word to patiently endure, I will keep you from the hour of trial, which shall come upon all the world, to test those who live upon the earth.

¹⁰ Because you have kept my word to patiently endure, I will keep you from the hour of trial, which shall come upon all the world, to test those who live upon the earth. ¹¹ Behold, I come quickly: hold fast to that which you have, that no man may take your crown.

¹¹ Behold, I come quickly: hold fast to that which you have, that no man may take your crown. ¹² He who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall never go out of it: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will also write upon him my new name.

¹² He who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall never go out of it: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will also write upon him my new name. ¹³ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. ¹⁴ And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

¹⁴ And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; ¹⁵ I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I wish that you were either cold or hot.

¹⁵ I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I wish that you were either cold or hot. ¹⁶ So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. ¹⁷ For you say, I am rich, and have grown wealthy, and have need of nothing; but you do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

¹⁷ For you say, I am rich, and have grown wealthy, and have need of nothing; but you do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. ¹⁸ I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white clothing, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness may not appear; and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. ¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: therefore be zealous, and repent.

²¹ To him who overcomes I will grant the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

²¹ To him who overcomes I will grant the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne. ²² He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

⁸ And I looked, and behold, a pale horse: and the name of him who sat upon it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with plague, and with the wild beasts of the earth.

¹⁴ And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁰ And the third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning as if it were a torch, and it fell upon a third of the rivers, and upon the springs of waters; ¹¹ And the name of the star is Wormwood: and a third of the waters became wormwood; and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter. ¹² And the fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun was smitten, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars; so that a third of them was darkened, and a third of the day the light did not shine, and likewise a third of the night.

²⁰ And the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, still did not repent of the works of their hands; they did not stop worshipping devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and bronze, and stone, and wood: which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk: ²¹ Nor did they repent of their murders, or of their sorceries, or of their sexual immorality, or of their thefts.

¹ And there appeared a great sign in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

⁵ And she brought forth a male child, who is to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world: he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world: he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ have come: for the accuser of our brethren has been cast down, who accuses them before our God day and night. ¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they did not love their lives to death.

² And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.

⁷ And it was given to him to make war on the saints, and to overcome them: and authority was given to him over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation.

⁹ If any man has an ear, let him hear.

¹⁴ And deceives those who live on the earth by the miracles which he had the power to do in the sight of the beast; bidding those who live on the earth to make an image in honour of the beast, who was wounded by the sword, and yet lived. ¹⁵ And he had power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. ¹⁶ And he causes everyone, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand, or on his forehead: ¹⁷ And no man might buy or sell, unless he had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
