Chapter 2
1. Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 2. I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and how you can not bear them which are evil: and you have tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them to be liars: 3. And has borne, and has patience, and for my name's sake has labored, and have not fainted. 4. Nevertheless I have something against you, because you have left your first love. 5. Remember therefore from where you are fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto you quickly; and will remove your candlestick (church) out of his place, except you repent. 6. But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
8. And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things says the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; 9. I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. 10. Fear none of those things which you shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may betrayed; and you shall have tribulation ten days: be faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life. 11. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death.
12. And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things says he which has the sharp sword with two edges; 13. I know your works, and where you dwell even where Satan's seat is: and you hold fast my name, and has not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells. 14. But I have a few things against you, because you have there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15. So have you also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16. Repent; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no one knows except he that receives it.
18. And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things says the Son of God who has his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; 19. I know your works, and love, and service, and faith, and your patience, and your works; and the last to be more than the first. 20. Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you suffer that woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21. and I gave her time to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searches the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. 24. But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. 25. But that which you have already hold tight till I come. 26. And he that overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 28. And I will give him the morning star. 29. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
2:1 Escribe 'angel de la iglesia en Efeso: El que tiene las siete estrellas en su diestra, el que anda en medio de los siete candeleros de oro, dice esto: 2. Yo conozco tus obras, y tu arduo traba jo y paciencia; y que no puedes soportar a los malos, y has probado a los que se dicen ser apóstoles, y no lo son, y los has hallado mentirosos; 3. y has sufrido, y has tenido paciencia, y has trabajado arduamente por amor de mi nombre, y no has desmayado. 4. Pero tengo contra ti, que has dejado tu primer amor. 5. Recuerda, por tanto, de donde has caído, y arrepiéntete, y haz las primeras obras; pues si no, vendre pronto a ti, y quitare' tu candelero de su lugar, si no te hubieres arrepentido. 6. Pero tienes esto, que aborreces las obras de los nicolaitas, las cuales yo también aborrezco. 7. El que tiene oido, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. Al que venciere, le dare' a comer del árbol de la vida, el cual esta en medio del paraíso de Dios. 8. Y escribe al angel de la iglesia en Esmirna: El primero y el postrero, el que estuvo muerto y vivio, dice esto: 9. Yo conozco tus obras, y tu tribulación, y tu pobreza ( pero tu eres rico), y la blasfemia de los que se dicen ser judios, y no lo son, sino sinagoga de Satanas. 10. No temas en nada lo que vas a padecer. He aquí, el diablo echara a algunos de vosotros en la cárcel, para que seais probados, y tendréis tribulación por diez días. Se fiel hasta la muerte, y yo te dare' la corona de la vida. 11. El que tiene oido, oiga que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. El que venciere, no sufrirá daño de la segunda muerte. 12. Y escribe al angel De la Iglesia en Pergamo: El que tiene la espada aguda de dos filos dice esto: 13. Yo conozco tus obras, y donde moras, donde esta el trono de Satanas; pero retienes mi nombre, y no has negado mi fe, ni aun en los días en que Antipas mi testigo fiel fue muerto entre vosotros, donde mora Satanas. 14. Pero tengo unas pocas cosas contra ti: que tienes ahi a los que retienen la doctrina de Balaam, que enseñaba a Balac a poner tropiezo ante los hijos de Israel, a comer de cosas sacrificadas a los idolos, y a cometer fornicacion. 15. Y también tienes a los que retienen la doctrina de los Nicolaitas, la que yo aborrezco. 16. Por tanto, arrepiepientete; pues si no, vendré a ti pronto, y peleare contra ellos con la espada de mi boca. 17. El que tiene oido, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice las iglesias. Al que venciere, dare a comer del mana escondido, y dare una piedrecita blanca, y en la piedrecita escrito un nombre nuevo, el cual ninguno conoce sino aquel que lo recibe.
Chapter 3
1. And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things says he that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and are dead. 2. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect before God. 3. Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold on, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you. 4. You have a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5. He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white clothing; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
7. And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things says he that is holy, he that is true, he that has the key of David, he that 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: for you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and has not denied my name. 9. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know the I have loved you. 10. Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11. Behold, I come quickly: hold that tight which you have, that no man take your crown. 12. Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. 13. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
14. And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says 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 you're cold or hot! 16. So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth. 17. Because you say, I am rich, and increased with merchandise, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18. I counsel you to buy of 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 does not appear; and anoint your eyes with medicine, that you may see. 19. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20. Behold I stand at the door, and knock: if anyone hears my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me. 21. To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
3:1 Escribe al angel De la Iglesia en Sardis: El que tiene los siete espíritus De Dios, y las siete estrellas, dice esto: Yo conozco tus obras, que tienes nombre de que vives, y estas muerto. 2. Se vigilante, y afirma las otras cosas que están para morir; porque no he hallado tus obras perfectas delante De Dios. 3. Acuérdate, pues, de lo que has recibido y oido; y guardalo, y arrepiéntete. Pues si no velas, vendré sobre ti como ladrón, y no sabras a que hora vendré sobre ti. 4. Pero tienes unas pocas personas en Sardis que no han manchado sus vestiduras; blancas; y borrare su nombre del libro de la vida, confesare su nombre delante de mi Padre, y delante de sus ángeles. 6. El que tiene oido, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. 7. Escribe al angel De la Iglesia en Filadelfia: Esto dice el Santo, el Verdadero, el que tiene la llave de David, el que abre y ninguno cierra, y cierra y ninguno abre: 8. Yo conozco tus obras; he aquí, he puesto delante de ti una puerta abierta, la cual nadie puede cerrar; porque aunque tienes poca fuerza, has guardado mi palabra, y no has negado mi nombre. 9. He aquí, yo entrego de la sinagoga de Satanas a los que se dicen ser judios y no lo son, sino que mienten; he aquí, yo hare que vengan y se posmienten; a tus pies, y reconozcan que yo te he amado. 10. Por cuanto has guardado la palabra de mi paciencia, yo también te guardare de la hora de la prueba que ha de venir sobre el mundo entero, para probar a los que moran sobre la tierra. 11. He aquí, yo vengo pronto; reten lo que tienes, para que ninguno tome tu corona. 12. Al que venciere, yo lo hare columna en el templo de mi Dios, y nunca mas saldrá de allí; y escribire sobre el el nombre de mi Dios, y el nombre de la ciudad de mi Dios, la nueva Jerusalen, la cual defiende del cielo, de mi Dios, y mi nombre nuevo. 13. El que tiene oido, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. 14. Y escribe al angel De la Iglesia en Laodicea: He aquí el Amen, el testigo fiel y verdadero, el principio de la creación De Dios, dice esto: 15. Yo conozco tus obras, que ni eres frio ni caliente. ¡Ojalá fueses frio o caliente! 16. Pero por cuanto eres tibio, y no frio ni caliente, te vomitare de mi boca. 17. Porque tu dices: Yo soy rico, y me he enriquecido, y de ninguna cosa tengo necesidad; y no sabes que tu eres un desventurado, miserable, pobre, ciego y desnudo. 18. Por tanto, yo te aconsejo que de mi compres oro refinado en fuego, para que seas rico, y vestiduras blancas para vestirte, y que no se descubra la vergüenza de tu desnudez; y unge tus ojos con colirio, para que veas. 19. Yo reprendo y castigo a todas los que amo; se, pues, celoso, y arrepiéntete. 20. He aquí, yo estoy a la puerta y llamo; si alguno oye mi voz y abre la puerta, entrare a el, y cenare con el, y el conmigo. 21. Al que venciere, le dare que se siente conmigo en mi trono, así como yo he vencido, y me he sentado con mi Padre en su trono. 22. El que tiene oido, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias.
