¹ Τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Ἐφέσῳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ κρατῶν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ, ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἑπτὰ λυχνιῶν τῶν χρυσῶν· tō aggelō tēs en ephesō ekklēsias grapson· tade legei ho kratōn toys hepta asteras en tē dexia aytoy, ho peripatōn en mesō tōn hepta lychniōn tōn chrysōn·

² οἶδα τὰ ἔργα σου καὶ τὸν κόπον καὶ τὴν ὑπομονήν σου, καὶ ὅτι οὐ δύνῃ βαστάσαι κακούς, καὶ ἐπείρασας τοὺς λέγοντας ἑαυτοὺς ἀποστόλους καὶ οὐκ εἰσίν, καὶ εὗρες αὐτοὺς ψευδεῖς· oida ta erga soy kai ton kopon kai tēn hypomonēn soy, kai hoti oy dynē bastasai kakoys, kai epeirasas toys legontas heaytoys apostoloys kai oyk eisin, kai ehyres aytoys pseydeis·

³ καὶ ὑπομονὴν ἔχεις, καὶ ἐβάστασας διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου, καὶ οὐ κεκοπίακες. kai hypomonēn echeis, kai ebastasas dia to onoma moy, kai oy kekopiakes.

⁴ ἀλλὰ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὅτι τὴν ἀγάπην σου τὴν πρώτην ἀφῆκες. alla echō kata soy hoti tēn agapēn soy tēn prōtēn aphēkes.

⁵ μνημόνευε οὖν πόθεν πέπτωκες, καὶ μετανόησον καὶ τὰ πρῶτα ἔργα ποίησον· εἰ δὲ μή, ἔρχομαί σοι καὶ κινήσω τὴν λυχνίαν σου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς, ἐὰν μὴ μετανοήσῃς. mnēmoneye oyn pothen peptōkes, kai metanoēson kai ta prōta erga poiēson· ei de mē, erchomai soi kai kinēsō tēn lychnian soy ek toy topoy aytēs, ean mē metanoēsēs.

⁷ ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. τῷ νικῶντι δώσω αὐτῷ φαγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ ξύλου τῆς ζωῆς, ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ τοῦ θεοῦ. ho echōn oys akoysatō ti to pneyma legei tais ekklēsiais. tō nikōnti dōsō aytō phagein ek toy xyloy tēs zōēs, ho estin en tō paradeisō toy theoy.

⁸ Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Ζμύρνῃ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ πρῶτος καὶ ὁ ἔσχατος, ὃς ἐγένετο νεκρὸς καὶ ἔζησεν· kai tō aggelō tēs en zmyrnē ekklēsias grapson· tade legei ho prōtos kai ho eschatos, hos egeneto nekros kai ezēsen·

⁹ Οἶδά σου τὴν θλῖψιν καὶ τὴν πτωχείαν, ἀλλὰ πλούσιος εἶ, καὶ τὴν βλασφημίαν ἐκ τῶν λεγόντων Ἰουδαίους εἶναι ἑαυτούς, καὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν ἀλλὰ συναγωγὴ τοῦ σατανᾶ. oida soy tēn thlipsin kai tēn ptōcheian, alla ploysios ei, kai tēn blasphēmian ek tōn legontōn ioydaioys einai heaytoys, kai oyk eisin alla synagōgē toy satana.

¹⁰ μηδὲν φοβοῦ ἃ μέλλεις πάσχειν. ἰδοὺ μέλλει βαλεῖν ὁ διάβολος ἐξ ὑμῶν εἰς φυλακὴν ἵνα πειρασθῆτε, καὶ ἕξετε θλῖψιν ἡμερῶν δέκα. γίνου πιστὸς ἄχρι θανάτου, καὶ δώσω σοι τὸν στέφανον τῆς ζωῆς. mēden phoboy ha melleis paschein. idoy mellei balein ho diabolos ex hymōn eis phylakēn hina peirasthēte, kai hexete thlipsin hēmerōn deka. ginoy pistos achri thanatoy, kai dōsō soi ton stephanon tēs zōēs.

¹³ οἶδα ποῦ κατοικεῖς, ὅπου ὁ θρόνος τοῦ Σατανᾶ, καὶ κρατεῖς τὸ ὄνομά μου, καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσω τὴν πίστιν μου ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἀντείπας ὁ μάρτυς μου ὁ πιστός μου, ὃς ἀπεκτάνθη παρ’ ὑμῖν, ὅπου ὁ Σατανᾶς κατοικεῖ. oida poy katoikeis, hopoy ho thronos toy satana, kai krateis to onoma moy, kai oyk ērnēsō tēn pistin moy en tais hēmerais anteipas ho martys moy ho pistos moy, hos apektanthē par’ hymin, hopoy ho satanas katoikei.

¹⁴ ἀλλ’ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὀλίγα, ὅτι ἔχεις ἐκεῖ κρατοῦντας τὴν διδαχὴν Βαλαάμ, ὃς ἐδίδασκεν τῷ Βαλὰκ βαλεῖν σκάνδαλον ἐνώπιον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, φαγεῖν εἰδωλόθυτα καὶ πορνεῦσαι. all’ echō kata soy oliga, hoti echeis ekei kratoyntas tēn didachēn balaam, hos edidasken tō balak balein skandalon enōpion tōn yhiōn israēl, phagein eidōlothyta kai porneysai.

¹⁷ ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις· τῷ νικοῦντι δώσω αὐτῷ τοῦ μάννα τοῦ κεκρυμμένου, καὶ δώσω αὐτῷ ψῆφον λευκήν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ψῆφον ὄνομα καινὸν γεγραμμένον, ὃ οὐδεὶς οἶδεν εἰ μὴ ὁ λαμβάνων. ho echōn oys akoysatō ti to pneyma legei tais ekklēsiais· tō nikoynti dōsō aytō toy manna toy kekrymmenoy, kai dōsō aytō psēphon leykēn, kai epi tēn psēphon onoma kainon gegrammenon, ho oydeis oiden ei mē ho lambanōn.

¹⁸ Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Θυατείροις ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ, ὁ ἔχων τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ὡς φλὸξ πυρός, καὶ οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ὅμοιοι χαλκολιβάνῳ· kai tō aggelō tēs en thyateirois ekklēsias grapson· tade legei ho yhios toy theoy, ho echōn toys ophthalmoys aytoy hōs phlox pyros, kai ohi podes aytoy homoioi chalkolibanō·

²⁰ ἀλλ’ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὅτι ἀφεῖς τὴν γυναῖκα Ἰεζάβελ, ἡ λέγουσα αὐτὴν προφῆτιν, καὶ διδάσκει καὶ πλανᾷ τοὺς ἐμοὺς δούλους πορνεῦσαι καὶ φαγεῖν εἰδωλόθυτα. all’ echō kata soy hoti apheis tēn gynaika iezabel, hē legoysa aytēn prophētin, kai didaskei kai plana toys emoys doyloys porneysai kai phagein eidōlothyta.

²¹ καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτῇ χρόνον ἵνα μετανοήσῃ, καὶ οὐ θέλει μετανοῆσαι ἐκ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς. kai edōka aytē chronon hina metanoēsē, kai oy thelei metanoēsai ek tēs porneias aytēs.

²² ἰδοὺ βάλλω αὐτὴν εἰς κλίνην, καὶ τοὺς μοιχεύοντας μετ’ αὐτῆς εἰς θλῖψιν μεγάλην, ἐὰν μὴ μετανοήσουσιν ἐκ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῆς· idoy ballō aytēn eis klinēn, kai toys moicheyontas met’ aytēs eis thlipsin megalēn, ean mē metanoēsoysin ek tōn ergōn aytēs·

²³ καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς ἀποκτενῶ ἐν θανάτῳ· καὶ γνώσονται πᾶσαι αἱ ἐκκλησίαι ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἐραυνῶν νεφροὺς καὶ καρδίας, καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα ὑμῶν. kai ta tekna aytēs apoktenō en thanatō· kai gnōsontai pasai ahi ekklēsiai hoti egō eimi ho eraynōn nephroys kai kardias, kai dōsō hymin hekastō kata ta erga hymōn.

²⁴ ὑμῖν δὲ λέγω τοῖς λοιποῖς τοῖς ἐν Θυατείροις, ὅσοι οὐκ ἔχουσιν τὴν διδαχὴν ταύτην, οἵτινες οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὰ βαθέα τοῦ σατανᾶ, ὡς λέγουσιν, οὐ βάλλω ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἄλλο βάρος· hymin de legō tois loipois tois en thyateirois, hosoi oyk echoysin tēn didachēn taytēn, ohitines oyk egnōsan ta bathea toy satana, hōs legoysin, oy ballō eph’ hymas allo baros·
