Unto the angelG32 of the churchG1577 of EphesusG2179 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 he that holdethG2902 the sevenG2033 starsG792 inG1722 hisG846 right handG1188, whoG3588 walkethG4043 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the sevenG2033 goldenG5552 candlesticksG3087;
I knowG1492 thyG4675 worksG2041, andG2532 thyG4675 labourG2873, andG2532 thyG4675 patienceG5281, andG2532 howG3754 thou canstG1410 notG3756 bearG941 them which are evilG2556: andG2532 thou hast triedG3985 them which sayG5335 they areG1511 apostlesG652, andG2532 areG1526 notG3756, andG2532 hast foundG2147 themG846 liarsG5571:
AndG2532 hast borneG941, andG2532 hastG2192 patienceG5281, andG2532 forG1223 myG3450 name's sakeG1223+G3686 hast labouredG2872, andG2532 hastG2577 notG3756 faintedG2577.
NeverthelessG235 I haveG2192 somewhat againstG2596 theeG4675, becauseG3754 thou hast leftG863 thyG4675 firstG4413 loveG26.
RememberG3421 thereforeG3767 from whenceG4159 thou art fallenG1601, andG2532 repentG3340, andG2532 doG4160 the firstG4413 worksG2041; or elseG1490 I will comeG2064 unto theeG4671 quicklyG5035, andG2532 will removeG2795 thyG4675 candlestickG3087 out ofG1537 hisG846 placeG5117, exceptG3362 thou repentG3340.
ButG235 thisG5124 thou hastG2192, thatG3754 thou hatestG3404 the deedsG2041 of the NicolaitansG3531, whichG3739 I alsoG2504 hateG3404.
He that hathG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saithG3004 unto the churchesG1577; To himG846 that overcomethG3528 will I giveG1325 to eatG5315 ofG1537 the treeG3586 of lifeG2222, whichG3739 isG2076 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the paradiseG3857 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 unto the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in SmyrnaG4668 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 the firstG4413 andG2532 the lastG2078, whichG3739 wasG1096 deadG3498, andG2532 is aliveG2198;
I knowG1492 thyG4675 worksG2041, andG2532 tribulationG2347, andG2532 povertyG4432, (butG1161 thou artG1488 richG4145) andG2532 I know the blasphemyG988 of them whichG3588 sayG3004 theyG1438 areG1511 JewsG2453, andG2532 areG1526 notG3756, butG235 are the synagogueG4864 of SatanG4567.
FearG5399 noneG3367 of those things whichG3739 thou shaltG3195 sufferG3958: beholdG2400, the devilG1228 shallG3195 castG906 some ofG1537 youG5216 intoG1519 prisonG5438, thatG2443 ye may be triedG3985; andG2532 ye shall haveG2192 tribulationG2347 tenG1176 daysG2250: be thouG1096 faithfulG4103 untoG891 deathG2288, andG2532 I will giveG1325 theeG4671 a crownG4735 of lifeG2222.
He that hathG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saithG3004 unto the churchesG1577; He that overcomethG3528 shallG91 notG3364 be hurtG91 ofG1537 the secondG1208 deathG2288.
AndG2532 to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 inG1722 PergamosG4010 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 he which hathG2192 the sharpG3691 swordG4501 with two edgesG1366;
I knowG1492 thyG4675 worksG2041, andG2532 whereG4226 thou dwellestG2730, even whereG3699 Satan'sG4567 seatG2362 is: andG2532 thou holdest fastG2902 myG3450 nameG3686, andG2532 hastG720 notG3756 deniedG720 myG3450 faithG4102, evenG2532 inG1722 those daysG2250 whereinG1722+G3739 AntipasG493 was myG3450 faithfulG4103 martyrG3144, whoG3739 was slainG615 amongG3844 youG5213, whereG3699 SatanG4567 dwellethG2730.
ButG235 I haveG2192 a few thingsG3641 againstG2596 theeG4675, becauseG3754 thou hastG2192 thereG1563 them that holdG2902 the doctrineG1322 of BalaamG903, whoG3739 taughtG1722+G1321 BalacG904 to castG906 a stumblingblockG4625 beforeG1799 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, to eatG5315 things sacrificed unto idolsG1494, andG2532 to commit fornicationG4203.
SoG3779 hastG2192 thouG4771 alsoG2532 them that holdG2902 the doctrineG1322 of the NicolaitansG3531, which thingG3739 I hateG3404.
RepentG3340; or elseG1490 I will comeG2064 unto theeG4671 quicklyG5035, andG2532 will fightG4170 againstG3326 themG846 withG1722 the swordG4501 of myG3450 mouthG4750.
He that hathG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saithG3004 unto the churchesG1577; To himG846 that overcomethG3528 will I giveG1325 to eatG5315 ofG575 the hiddenG2928 mannaG3131, andG2532 will giveG1325 himG846 a whiteG3022 stoneG5586, andG2532 inG1909 the stoneG5586 a newG2537 nameG3686 writtenG1125, whichG3739 no manG3762 knowethG1097 savingG1508 he that receivethG2983 it.
AndG2532 unto the angelG32 of the churchG1577 inG1722 ThyatiraG2363 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, whoG3588 hathG2192 hisG846 eyesG3788 likeG5613 unto a flameG5395 of fireG4442, andG2532 hisG846 feetG4228 are likeG3664 fine brassG5474;
I knowG1492 thyG4675 worksG2041, andG2532 charityG26, andG2532 serviceG1248, andG2532 faithG4102, andG2532 thyG4675 patienceG5281, andG2532 thyG4675 worksG2041; andG2532 the lastG2078 to be more thanG4119 the firstG4413.
NotwithstandingG235 I haveG2192 a few thingsG3641 againstG2596 theeG4675, becauseG3754 thou sufferestG1439 that womanG1135 JezebelG2403, whichG3588 callethG3004 herselfG1438 a prophetessG4398, to teachG1321 andG2532 to seduceG4105 myG1699 servantsG1401 to commit fornicationG4203, andG2532 to eatG5315 things sacrificed unto idolsG1494.
AndG2532 I gaveG1325 herG846 spaceG5550 toG2443 repentG3340 ofG1537 herG846 fornicationG4202; andG2532 she repentedG3340 notG3756.
BeholdG2400, IG1473 will castG906 herG846 intoG1519 a bedG2825, andG2532 them that commit adulteryG3431 withG3326 herG846 intoG1519 greatG3173 tribulationG2347, exceptG3362 they repentG3340 ofG1537 theirG846 deedsG2041.
AndG2532 I will killG615 herG846 childrenG5043 withG1722 deathG2288; andG2532 allG3956 the churchesG1577 shall knowG1097 thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510 he whichG3588 searchethG2045 the reinsG3510 andG2532 heartsG2588: andG2532 I will giveG1325 unto every oneG1538 of youG5213 according toG2596 yourG5216 worksG2041.
ButG1161 unto youG5213 I sayG3004, andG2532 unto the restG3062 inG1722 ThyatiraG2363, as many asG3745 haveG2192 notG3756 thisG5026 doctrineG1322, andG2532 whichG3748 haveG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 the depthsG899 of SatanG4567, asG5613 they speakG3004; I will putG906 uponG1909 youG5209 noneG3756 otherG243 burdenG922.
ButG4133 that whichG3739 ye haveG2192 already hold fastG2902 tillG891+G3739 I comeG302+G2240.
AndG2532 he that overcomethG3528, andG2532 keepethG5083 myG3450 worksG2041 untoG891 the endG5056, to himG846 will I giveG1325 powerG1849 overG1909 the nationsG1484:
AndG2532 he shall ruleG4165 themG846 withG1722 a rodG4464 of ironG4603; asG5613 the vesselsG4632 of a potterG2764 shall they be broken to shiversG4937: evenG2504 asG5613 IG2504 receivedG2983 ofG3844 myG3450 FatherG3962.
AndG2532 I will giveG1325 himG846 the morningG4407 starG792.
He that hathG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saithG3004 unto the churchesG1577.

And IsraelH3478 abodeH3427 in ShittimH7851, and the peopleH5971 beganH2490 to commit whoredomH2181 with the daughtersH1323 of MoabH4124.
And they calledH7121 the peopleH5971 unto the sacrificesH2077 of their godsH430: and the peopleH5971 did eatH398, and bowed downH7812 to their godsH430.
And IsraelH3478 joinedH6775 himself unto BaalpeorH1187: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will layH5414 stumblingblocksH4383 before this peopleH5971, and the fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 togetherH3162 shall fallH3782 upon them; the neighbourH7934 and his friendH7453 shall perishH6.
ButG235 that we writeG1989 unto themG846, that they abstainG567 fromG575 pollutionsG234 of idolsG1497, andG2532 from fornicationG4202, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from bloodG129.
ForG1161 withoutG1854 are dogsG2965, andG2532 sorcerersG5333, andG2532 whoremongersG4205, andG2532 murderersG5406, andG2532 idolatersG1496, andG2532 whosoeverG3956 lovethG5368 andG2532 makethG4160 a lieG5579.
And they slewH2026 the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, besideH5921 the rest of them that were slainH2491; namely, EviH189, and RekemH7552, and ZurH6698, and HurH2354, and RebaH7254, fiveH2568 kingsH4428 of MidianH4080: BalaamH1109 also the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 they slewH2026 with the swordH2719.
AgainH7725, When a righteousH6662 man doth turnH7725 from his righteousnessH6664, and commitH6213 iniquityH5766, and I layH5414 a stumblingblockH4383 beforeH6440 him, he shall dieH4191: because thou hast not given him warningH2094, he shall dieH4191 in his sinH2403, and his righteousnessH6666 which he hath doneH6213 shall not be rememberedH2142; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027. {righteousness which: Heb. righteousnesses}
ForG1063 MosesG3475 ofG1537 oldG744 timeG1074 hathG2192 in everyG2596 cityG4172 them that preachG2784 himG846, being readG314 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 everyG2596+G3956 sabbath dayG4521.
MeatsG1033 for the bellyG2836, andG2532 the bellyG2836 for meatsG1033: butG1161 GodG2316 shall destroyG2673 bothG2532 itG5026 andG2532 themG5023. NowG1161 the bodyG4983 is notG3756 for fornicationG4202, butG235 for the LordG2962; andG2532 the LordG2962 for the bodyG4983. {Meats: not flesh only, but food of any kind}
AndG1161 GodG2316 hathG1453 bothG2532 raised upG1453 the LordG2962, andG2532 willG1825 alsoG2532 raise upG1825 usG2248 byG1223 his ownG846 powerG1411.
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 yourG5216 bodiesG4983 areG2076 the membersG3196 of ChristG5547? shall IG142 thenG3767 takeG142 the membersG3196 of ChristG5547, and makeG4160 them the membersG3196 of an harlotG4204? God forbidG3361+G1096.
WhatG2228? know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 he which is joinedG2853 to an harlotG4204 isG2076 oneG1520 bodyG4983? forG1063 twoG1417, saith heG5346, shall beG2071 oneG1519+G3391 fleshG4561.
ButG1161 he that is joinedG2853 unto the LordG2962 isG2076 oneG1520 spiritG4151.
FleeG5343 fornicationG4202. EveryG3956 sinG265 thatG3739+G1437 a manG444 doethG4160 isG2076 withoutG1622 the bodyG4983; butG1161 he that committeth fornicationG4203 sinnethG264 againstG1519 his ownG2398 bodyG4983.
Behold, theseH2007 causedH1961 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, through the counselH1697 of BalaamH1109, to commitH4560 trespassH4604 against the LORDH3068 in the matterH1697 of PeorH6465, and there was a plagueH4046 among the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068.
Because they ministeredH8334 unto them beforeH6440 their idolsH1544, and caused the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to fallH4383 into iniquityH5771; therefore have I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 against them, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, and they shall bearH5375 their iniquityH5771. {caused…: Heb. were for a stumblingblock of iniquity unto, etc}
That ye abstainG567 from meats offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from things strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202: fromG1537 whichG3739 if ye keepG1301 yourselvesG1438, ye shall doG4238 wellG2095. Fare ye wellG4517.
NeverthelessG1223+G1161, to avoid fornicationG4202, letG2192 every manG1538 haveG2192 his ownG1438 wifeG1135, andG2532 letG2192 every womanG1538 haveG2192 her ownG2398 husbandG435.
Then BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124, aroseH6965 and warredH3898 against IsraelH3478, and sentH7971 and calledH7121 BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 to curseH7043 you:
WoeG3759 unto the worldG2889 because ofG575 offencesG4625! forG1063 it must needsG318 beG2076 that offencesG4625 comeG2064; butG4133 woeG3759 to that manG444 byG1565 whomG1223+G3739 the offenceG4625 comethG2064!
AsG1161 touchingG4012 the GentilesG1484 which believeG4100, weG2249 have writtenG1989 and concludedG2919 that theyG846 observeG5083 noG3367 such thingG5108, save onlyG1508 that they keepG5442 themselvesG846 fromG5037 things offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG129, andG2532 from strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202.
MarriageG1062 is honourableG5093 inG1722 allG3956, andG2532 the bedG2845 undefiledG283: butG1161 whoremongersG4205 andG2532 adulterersG3432 GodG2316 will judgeG2919.
Which have forsakenG2641 the rightG2117 wayG3598, and are gone astrayG4105, followingG1811 the wayG3598 of BalaamG903 the son of BosorG1007, whoG3739 lovedG25 the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93;
WhereforeG1302? BecauseG3754 they sought it notG3756 byG1537 faithG4102, butG235 asG5613 it were byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551. ForG1063 they stumbledG4350 at that stumblingstoneG3037+G4348;
As concerningG4012 thereforeG3767 the eatingG1035 of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idolsG1494, we knowG1492 thatG3754 an idolG1497 is nothingG3762 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 thatG3754 there is noneG3762 otherG2087 GodG2316 butG1508 oneG1520.
ForG1063 thoughG1512+G2532 there beG1526 that are calledG3004 godsG2316, whetherG1535 inG1722 heavenG3772 orG1535 inG1909 earthG1093, (asG5618 there beG1526 godsG2316 manyG4183, andG2532 lordsG2962 manyG4183,)
ButG235 to usG2254 there is but oneG1520 GodG2316, the FatherG3962, ofG1537 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG2249 inG1519 himG846; andG2532 oneG1520 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 weG2249 byG1223 himG846. {in: or, for}
HowbeitG235 there is notG3756 inG1722 every manG3956 that knowledgeG1108: forG1161 someG5100 with conscienceG4893 of the idolG1497 untoG2193 this hourG737 eatG2068 it asG5613 a thing offered unto an idolG1494; andG2532 theirG846 conscienceG4893 beingG5607 weakG772 is defiledG3435.
ButG1161 meatG1033 commendethG3936 usG2248 notG3756 to GodG2316: forG1063 neitherG3777, ifG1437 we eatG5315, are we the betterG4052; neitherG3777, ifG3362 we eatG5315 notG3362, are we the worseG5302. {are we the better: or, have we the more} {are we the worse: or, have we the less}
ButG1161 take heedG991 lestG3381 by any meansG4458 thisG3778 libertyG1849 of yoursG5216 becomeG1096 a stumblingblockG4348 to them that are weakG770. {liberty: or, power}
ForG1063 ifG1437 any manG5100 seeG1492 theeG4571 whichG3588 hastG2192 knowledgeG1108 sit at meatG2621 inG1722 the idol's templeG1493, shallG3618 notG3780 the conscienceG4893 of himG846 which isG5607 weakG772 be emboldenedG3618+G1519 to eatG2068 those things which are offered to idolsG1494; {emboldened: Gr. edified}
AndG2532 throughG1909 thyG4674 knowledgeG1108 shallG622 the weakG770 brotherG80 perishG622, forG1223 whomG3739 ChristG5547 diedG599?
ButG1161 when ye sinG264 soG3779 againstG1519 the brethrenG80, andG2532 woundG5180 theirG846 weakG770 conscienceG4893, ye sinG264 againstG1519 ChristG5547.
WhereforeG1355, ifG1487 meatG1033 makeG4624 myG3450 brotherG80 to offendG4624, I will eatG5315 noG3364 fleshG2907 while the world standethG1519+G165, lestG3363 I makeG4624 myG3450 brotherG80 to offendG4624.
WoeG3759 unto themG846! forG3754 they have goneG4198 in the wayG3598 of CainG2535, andG2532 ran greedily afterG1632 the errorG4106 of BalaamG903 for rewardG3408, andG2532 perishedG622 in the gainsayingG485 of CoreG2879.
AndG2532 DavidG1138 saithG3004, LetG1096 theirG846 tableG5132 be madeG1096 a snareG1519+G3803, andG2532 a trapG1519+G2339, andG2532 a stumblingblockG1519+G4625, andG2532 a recompenceG1519+G468 unto themG846:
BeholdG991 IsraelG2474 afterG2596 the fleshG4561: areG1526 notG3780 theyG1526 which eatG2068 of the sacrificesG2378 partakersG2844 of the altarG2379?
WhatG5101 say IG5346 thenG3767? thatG3754 the idolG1497 isG2076 any thingG5100, orG2228 thatG3754 which is offered in sacrifice to idolsG1494 isG2076 any thingG5100?
ButG235 I say, thatG3754 the things whichG3739 the GentilesG1484 sacrificeG2380, they sacrificeG2380 to devilsG1140, andG2532 notG3756 to GodG2316: andG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 that yeG5209 should haveG1096 fellowshipG2844 with devilsG1140.
Ye cannotG3756+G1410 drinkG4095 the cupG4221 of the LordG2962, andG2532 the cupG4221 of devilsG1140: ye cannotG3756+G1410 be partakersG3348 of the Lord'sG2962 tableG5132, andG2532 of the tableG5132 of devilsG1140.
Do we provokeG2228+G3863 the LordG2962 to jealousyG3863? are weG2070 stronger thanG3361+G2478 heG846?
All thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 areG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851: all thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 edifyG3618 notG3756.
LetG2212 no manG3367 seekG2212 his ownG1438, butG235 every manG1538 another'sG2087 wealth.
WhatsoeverG3956 is soldG4453 inG1722 the shamblesG3111, that eatG2068, askingG350 noG3367 questionG350 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223:
ForG1063 the earthG1093 is the Lord'sG2962, andG2532 the fulnessG4138 thereofG846.
If anyG1536 of them that believe notG571 bidG2564 youG5209 to a feast, andG2532 ye be disposedG2309 to goG4198; whatsoeverG3956 is set beforeG3908 youG5213, eatG2068, askingG350 noG3367 questionG350 forG1223 conscienceG4893 sakeG1223.
ButG1161 ifG1437 any manG5100 sayG2036 unto youG5213, ThisG5124 isG2076 offered in sacrifice unto idolsG1494, eatG2068 notG3361 forG1223 his sakeG1565 that shewed itG3377, andG2532 for conscience sakeG4893: forG1063 the earthG1093 is the Lord'sG2962, andG2532 the fulnessG4138 thereofG846:
ConscienceG4893+G1161, I sayG3004, notG3780 thine ownG1438, butG235 of the otherG2087: forG1063 whyG2444 isG2919 myG3450 libertyG1657 judgedG2919 ofG5259 anotherG243 man's conscienceG4893?
ForG1161 ifG1487 IG1473 by graceG5485 be a partakerG3348, whyG5101 am I evil spoken ofG987 for thatG5228 for whichG3739 IG1473 give thanksG2168? {grace: or, thanksgiving}
WhetherG1535 thereforeG3767 ye eatG2068, orG1535 drinkG4095, orG1535 whatsoeverG5100 ye doG4160, doG4160 allG3956 toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
Let usG2919 not thereforeG3767 judgeG2919 one anotherG240 any moreG3371: butG235 judgeG2919 thisG5124 ratherG3123, that no manG3361 putG5087 a stumblingblockG4348 orG2228 an occasion to fallG4625 in his brother's wayG80.
It is goodG2570 neitherG3361 to eatG5315 fleshG2907, norG3366 to drinkG4095 wineG3631, norG3366 any thing wherebyG1722+G3739 thyG4675 brotherG80 stumblethG4350, orG2228 is offendedG4624, orG2228 is made weakG770.
ButG1161 weG2249 preachG2784 ChristG5547 crucifiedG4717, unto the JewsG2453 a stumblingblockG3303+G4625, andG1161 unto the GreeksG1672 foolishnessG3472;
