of the earth. To him that loves us and that washed us from our sins in his blood,
6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and strength through the ages:
amen.
7 Behold, he comes with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also that pierced him, and all the
tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yes, amen.
8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who comes, the
Almighty.
9 I John, your brother and companion in the affliction and kingdom and patience in Jesus, was in the
island that is called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
10 I was in-spirit on the Lord's day and heard behind me a voice great as that of a trumpet,
11 saying: What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven churches, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna,
and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 And I turned to see the voice that talked with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks,
13 and in the midst of the candlesticks one like the Son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet,
and girded about the breasts with a golden girdle;
14 but his head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,
15 and his feet were like burnished 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 forth a sword two-edged, sharp,
and his face as the sun when it shines in its strength.
17 And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying: Fear
not: I am the First and the Last,
18 and that lives, and I was dead, and behold, I am living from age to age, and have the keys of death
and of hades.
19 Write therefore the things that thou sawest, and the things that are, and those that shall be after these,
20 the mystery of the seven stars that thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks.
The seven stars and angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks are seven churches.
Revelation 2
1 To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right
hand, that walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2 I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and that thou canst not endure evil men, and hast
tried those that say that they are apostles and are not, and hast found them liars;
3 and thou hast patience, and hast endured because of my name, and hast not fainted.
4 But I have against thee that thou hast left thy first love.
5 Remember therefore whence thou hast fallen, and repent and do the first works: else, I am coming to
thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, unless thou repent.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches: To him that overcomes will I give
to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God.
8 And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These things says the First and the Last, who was
dead and revived;
9 I know thy affliction and thy poverty, (but thou art rich) and the blasphemy of those that say that they
are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
10 Fear in no way the things that thou art about to suffer. Behold now, the devil is about to cast some of
you into prison that you may be tried, and you shall have affliction ten days. Be thou faithful to death,
and I will give thee the crown of life.
11 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches: He that overcomes shall not be
hurt by the second death.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamus write: These things says he that has the sword two-edged,
sharp;
13 I know where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan is; and yet thou boldest fast my name, and
didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was slain
among you, where Satan dwells.
14 But I have against thee a few things: thou hast there those that hold the teaching of Balaam, who
taught Balak to put a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel and to cause them to eat idol-sacrifices
and to commit lewdness.
15 So hast thou also in like manner those that hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
6 Repent therefore; otherwise I am coming to thee quickly, and I will war against them with the sword
of my mouth.
17 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches: To him that overcomes I will
give of the hidden manna; and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which
no one knows but he that receives it.
18 And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, who has his eyes
as a flame of fire, and his feet like burnished brass: [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
