Nevertheless I have somewhat againstthee, because thou hast leftthyfirstlove. Remembertherefore from whence thou art fallen, andrepent, anddothefirstworks; or else I will come unto theequickly, and will removethycandlestick out ofhisplace, except thou repent. Butthis thou hast, that thou hatestthedeeds of theNicolaitanes, which I alsohate. He that hath an ear, let him hearwhattheSpiritsaith unto thechurches; To him that overcometh will I give to eatofthetree of life, whichisin the midst of theparadise of God.

But I have a few thingsagainstthee, because thou hastthere them that holdthedoctrine of Balaam, whotaughtBalac to cast a stumblingblockbeforethechildren of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. Sohastthoualso them that holdthedoctrine of theNicolaitanes, which thing I hate. Repent; or else I will come unto theequickly, and will fightagainstthemwiththesword of mymouth.

But unto you I say, and unto the restinThyatira, as many ashavenotthisdoctrine, andwhich have notknownthedepths of Satan, as they speak; I will putuponyounoneotherburden. But that which ye have already hold fasttill I come. And he that overcometh, andkeepethmyworksunto the end, to him will I givepoweroverthenations: And he shall rulethemwith a rod of iron; asthevessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even asIreceivedofmyFather. And I will givehimthemorningstar. He that hath an ear, let him hearwhattheSpiritsaith unto thechurches.
