golden candlesticks;
13
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks
one
like unto the Son of man,
clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14
His head
and
his
hairs
were
white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes
were
as a flame of fire;
15
And
his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many
waters.
16
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged
sword: and his countenance
was
as the sun shineth in his strength.
17
And when I saw him, I fell at
his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me,
Fear not; I am the first and
the last:
18
I
am
he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have
the keys of hell and of death.
19
Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall
be hereafter;
20
The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven
golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks
which thou sawest are the seven churches.
CHAPTER 2
Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars
in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2
I know thy works,
and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast
tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
3
And hast borne,
and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4
Nevertheless I
have
somewhat
against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5
Remember therefore from
whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly,
and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
6
But this thou hast, that thou
hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
7
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh 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 saith the first and the last,
which was dead, and is alive;
9
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich)
and
I know
the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but

Satan.
10
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast
some
of
you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto
death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
12
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp
sword with two edges;
13
I know thy works, and where thou dwellest,
even
where Satan’s seat
is:
