The  ¹revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave to Him to show to His slaves the things that must quickly take place; and He made it known by  ²signs, sending it by His angel to His slave John,

Who testified the word of God and the  ¹testimony of Jesus Christ, even all that he saw.

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the  ¹prophecy and keep the things written in it, for the time is near.

John to the  ¹seven churches which are in  ²Asia: Grace to you and peace from  ³Him who is and who was and  ⁴who is coming, and from the  ⁵seven Spirits who are before His throne,

And from Jesus Christ, the faithful Witness, the Firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has  ¹released us from our sins  ²by His blood

And made us a  ¹kingdom,  ²priests to His God and Father, to Him be the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen.

Behold, He  ¹comes with the  ²clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the  ³tribes of the  ⁴land will  ⁵mourn over Him. Yes, amen.

I am the  ¹Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, He who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.

I John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and  ¹endurance in  ²Jesus, was on the island called  ³Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

I was in  ¹spirit on the  ²Lord's Day and heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,

Saying, What you see write in a scroll and  ¹send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamos and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.

And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me; and when I  ¹turned, I saw seven  ²golden  ³lampstands,

And  ¹in the midst of the lampstands One like the  ²Son of Man, clothed with a  ³garment reaching to the feet, and  ⁴girded about at the breasts with a golden girdle.

And His head and  ¹hair were as white as  ²white wool, as  ²snow; and His  ³eyes were like a flame of  ⁴fire;

And His  ¹feet were like shining bronze, as having been  ²fired in a furnace; and His voice was like the  ³sound of many waters.

And He had in His right hand seven  ¹stars; and out of His  ²mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword; and His  ³face shone as the sun shines in its power.

And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead; and He placed His right hand on me, saying, Do not fear; I am the  ¹First and the Last

And the  ¹living One; and I became dead, and behold, I am living forever and ever; and I have the keys of  ²death and of Hades.

Write therefore the things which you have seen and the things which are and the things which are about to take place after these things.

The  ¹mystery of the seven stars which you saw upon My right hand and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the  ²messengers of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

 ¹To the messenger of the church in  ²Ephesus write: These things says  ³He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, He who  ⁴walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:

I know your works and your labor and your endurance and that you cannot bear evil men; and you have tried those who call themselves apostles and are not, and have found them to be false;

And you have endurance and have borne all things because of My name and have not grown weary.

But I have one thing against you, that you have left your  ¹first  ²love.

Remember therefore where you have fallen from and repent and do the first works; but if not, I am coming to you and will  ¹remove your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.

But this you have, that you hate the works of the  ¹Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

He who has an  ¹ear, let him hear what the  ²Spirit says to the  ³churches. To him who  ⁴overcomes, to him I will give to  ⁵eat of the  ⁶tree of life, which is in the  ⁷Paradise of God.

And to the messenger of the church in  ¹Smyrna write: These things says the  ²First and the Last, who became dead and  ³lived again:

I know your  ¹tribulation and  ²poverty (but you are rich) and the  ³slander from those who call themselves Jews and are  ⁴not, but are a  ⁵synagogue of  ⁶Satan.

Do not fear the things that you are about to suffer. Behold, the  ¹devil is about to cast some of you into prison that you may be tried, and you will have tribulation for  ²ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the  ³crown of life.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who  ¹overcomes shall by no means be hurt of the  ²second death.

And to the messenger of the church in  ¹Pergamos write: These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword:

I know where you dwell, where  ¹Satan's throne is; and you hold fast My  ²name and have not denied My  ²faith, even in the days of  ³Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

But I have a few things against you, that you have some there who hold the  ¹teaching of  ²Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat  ³idol sacrifices and to commit  ³fornication.

In the same way you also have some who hold in like manner the  ¹teaching of the  ²Nicolaitans.

Repent therefore; but if not, I am  ¹coming to you quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of My mouth.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who  ¹overcomes, to him I will give of the  ²hidden manna, and to him I will give a white  ³stone, and upon the stone a  ⁴new name written, which no one knows except him who receives it.

And to the messenger of the church in  ¹Thyatira write: These things says the  ²Son of God, He who has  ³eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like shining bronze:

I know your  ¹works and love and faith and service and your endurance and that your last works are more than the first.

But I have something against you, that you tolerate the  ¹woman Jezebel, she who calls herself a  ²prophetess and teaches and  ³leads My slaves astray to commit  ⁴fornication and to eat  ⁴idol sacrifices.

And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her fornication.

Behold, I cast her into a  ¹bed, and those who commit adultery with her, into  ²great tribulation, unless they repent of her works;

And her children I will  ¹kill with death; and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the  ²inward parts and the hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your works.

But I say to you — the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who have not known the  ¹deep things of Satan, as they say — I put no other burden upon you;

Nevertheless what you have hold fast  ¹until I come.

And he who  ¹overcomes and he who keeps  ²My works until the end, to him I will give  ³authority over the nations;

And he will  ¹shepherd them with an iron rod, as vessels of pottery are broken in pieces, as  ²I also have received from My Father;

And to him I will give the  ¹morning star.

He who has an  ¹ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

And to the messenger of the church in  ¹Sardis write: These things says He who has the  ²seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have a  ³name that you are living, and yet you are dead.

Become watchful and establish the  ¹things which remain, which were about to die; for I have found none of your works  ²completed before My God.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and keep it and repent. If therefore you will not watch, I will come as a  ¹thief, and you shall by no means know at what hour I will come upon you.

But you have a few names in Sardis who have not  ¹defiled their garments, and they will walk with Me in  ²white because they are worthy.

He who  ¹overcomes will be  ²clothed thus, in white garments, and I shall by no means  ³erase his name out of the  ⁴book of life, and I will  ⁵confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

And to the messenger of the church in  ¹Philadelphia write: These things says the  ²Holy One, the true One, the One who has the  ³key of David, the One who opens and no one will shut, and shuts and no one opens:

I know your works; behold, I have put before you an  ¹opened door which no one can shut, because you have a  ²little power and have kept My word and have not denied My  ³name.

Behold, I will make those of the  ¹synagogue of Satan, those who call themselves Jews and are  ²not, but lie — behold, I will cause them to come and fall  ³prostrate before your feet and to know that I have loved you.

Because you have kept the  ¹word of My endurance, I also will  ²keep you out of the hour of trial, which is about to come on the whole inhabited earth, to try them who dwell on the earth.

I  ¹come quickly; hold fast what you have that no one take your  ²crown.

He who  ¹overcomes, him I will make a  ²pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall by no means go out anymore, and I will write upon him the  ³name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which descends out of heaven from My God, and My new name.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

And to the messenger of the church in  ¹Laodicea write: These things says the  ²Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the  ³beginning of the creation of God:

I know your works, that you are neither cold nor  ¹hot; I wish that you were cold or  ¹hot.

So, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am about to  ¹spew you out of My mouth.

Because you  ¹say, I am wealthy and have become rich and have need of nothing, and do not know that you are  ²wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked,

I counsel you to  ¹buy from Me  ²gold refined by fire that you may be rich, and  ³white garments that you may be clothed and that the shame of your nakedness may not be manifested, and  ⁴eyesalve to anoint your eyes that you may see.

As many as I love I reprove and discipline; be  ¹zealous therefore and repent.

Behold, I stand at the  ¹door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and  ²opens the door, then I will come in to him and  ³dine with him and he with Me.

He who  ¹overcomes, to him I will give to  ²sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the  ¹churches.

After these things I saw, and behold, a door  ¹opened in heaven, and the first  ²voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will show you the things that must take place after these things.

Immediately I was in  ¹spirit; and behold, there was a  ²throne set in heaven, and upon the throne there was One sitting;

And He who was sitting was like a  ¹jasper stone and a  ²sardius in appearance, and there was a  ³rainbow around the throne like an  ⁴emerald in appearance.

And around the throne there were twenty-four thrones, and upon the thrones  ¹twenty-four  ²elders sitting, clothed in  ³white garments, and upon their heads golden crowns.

And out of the throne come forth lightnings and voices and thunders. And there were  ¹seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the  ²seven Spirits of God;

And before the throne there was as it were a  ¹glassy sea like crystal; and in the midst of the throne and around the throne, there were  ²four living creatures  ³full of eyes in front and behind.

And the first living creature was  ¹like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings apiece, are full of eyes around and within; and they have no rest day and night, saying,  ¹Holy, holy, holy, Lord God the Almighty,  ²who was and who is and who is coming.

And when the four living creatures give  ¹glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits upon the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever,

The twenty-four elders will fall before Him who sits upon the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever; and they will  ¹cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive the  ¹glory and the honor and the power, for You have created all things, and because of Your  ²will they were, and were created.
