3And you have the power of waiting, and have undergone trouble because of my name, without weariness.
4But I have this against you, that you are turned away from your first love.
5So keep in mind where you were at first, and be changed in heart and do the first works; or I will come to you, and will take away your light from its place, if your hearts are not changed.
6But at least you have the credit of hating the works of the Nicolaitans, as I do.
7He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
8And to the angel of the church in Smyrna say: These things says the first and the last, who was dead and is living:
9I have knowledge of your troubles and how poor you are (but you have true wealth), and the evil words of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a Synagogue of Satan.
