2 “I|strong="G2532" know|strong="G1492" what|strong="G3588" you|strong="G4771" do|strong="G1492", how|strong="G3754" hard you|strong="G4771" work|strong="G2041" and|strong="G2532" never|strong="G3756" give|strong="G3004" up|strong="G0941". I|strong="G2532" know|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" you|strong="G4771" don’t|strong="G3756" accept evil|strong="G2556" people|strong="G0846". You|strong="G4771" have|strong="G1510" tested|strong="G3985" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" say|strong="G3004" they|strong="G0846" are|strong="G1510" apostles|strong="G0652" but|strong="G2532" are|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756". You|strong="G4771" found|strong="G2147" that|strong="G3754" they|strong="G0846" are|strong="G1510" liars|strong="G5571".
3 You|strong="G2532" never|strong="G3756" stop trying. You|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2192" endured|strong="G0941" troubles for|strong="G1223" my|strong="G2192" name|strong="G3686" and|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2192" not|strong="G3756" given up|strong="G0941".
4 “But|strong="G0235" I|strong="G3754" have|strong="G2192" this|strong="G3588" against|strong="G2596" you|strong="G4771": You|strong="G4771" have|strong="G2192" left|strong="G0863" the|strong="G3588" love|strong="G0026" you|strong="G4771" had|strong="G2192" in|strong="G2596" the|strong="G3588" beginning.
5 So|strong="G3767" remember|strong="G3421" where|strong="G4159" you|strong="G4771" were|strong="G3588" before|strong="G4413" you|strong="G4771" fell|strong="G4098".

If|strong="G1487" you|strong="G4771" don’t|strong="G3361" change, I|strong="G1437" will|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2064" to|strong="G2064" you|strong="G4771" and|strong="G2532" remove|strong="G2795" your|strong="G1437" lampstand|strong="G3087" from|strong="G1537" its|strong="G0846" place|strong="G5117".
6 But|strong="G0235" there|strong="G3739" is|strong="G3778" something you|strong="G3739" do|strong="G2192" that|strong="G3754" is|strong="G3778" right—you|strong="G3739" hate|strong="G3404" the|strong="G3588" things|strong="G3778" that|strong="G3754" the|strong="G3588" Nicolaitans|strong="G3531" do|strong="G2192".

7 “Everyone|strong="G5101" who|strong="G3739" hears|strong="G0191" this|strong="G3588" should|strong="G2316" listen|strong="G0191" to|strong="G3004" what|strong="G5101" the|strong="G3588" Spirit|strong="G4151" says|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3588" churches|strong="G1577".

But|strong="G0235" they|strong="G2532" are|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" true Jews|strong="G2453".

10 Don’t|strong="G3367" be|strong="G1096" afraid|strong="G5399" of|strong="G1537" what|strong="G3739" will|strong="G3739" happen|strong="G1096" to|strong="G1519" you|strong="G5210".

You|strong="G5210" did|strong="G1492" not|strong="G3756" refuse|strong="G3756" to|strong="G2532" tell about|strong="G1722" your|strong="G2532" faith|strong="G4102" in|strong="G1722" me|strong="G1473" even|strong="G2532" during|strong="G1722" the|strong="G3588" time|strong="G2250" of|strong="G2250" Antipas|strong="G0493". Antipas|strong="G0493" was|strong="G3739" my|strong="G1722" faithful|strong="G4103" witness|strong="G3144" who|strong="G3739" was|strong="G3739" killed|strong="G0615" in|strong="G1722" your|strong="G2532" city|strong="G3699", the|strong="G3588" city|strong="G3699" where|strong="G3699" Satan|strong="G4567" lives|strong="G2730".

Balaam|strong="G0903" taught|strong="G1321" Balak|strong="G0904" how|strong="G3754" to|strong="G2596" make the|strong="G3588" people|strong="G2068" of|strong="G5207" Israel|strong="G2474" sin.

20 But|strong="G0235" I|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2192" this|strong="G3588" against|strong="G2596" you|strong="G4771": You|strong="G4771" let|strong="G0863" that|strong="G3754" woman|strong="G1135" Jezebel|strong="G2403" do|strong="G2192" what|strong="G3588" she|strong="G0846" wants.
