In context
AI-assisted, sourcedRevelation 2:1-7Ephesus
About Revelation 2The Son of man sends messages to four churches. Ephesus has laboured and kept patience but "hast left thy first love," and must "repent, and do the first works"; Smyrna, poor "but thou art rich," is told, "be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Pergamos holds fast "where Satan's seat is" yet has some who hold "the doctrine of Balaam" and of the Nicolaitans, and Thyatira suffers "that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess," while each church hears, "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."
