Revelation 2:3-9 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

3. And you have patient endurance for the sake of my name, and you have not fallen away.

4. But I have this against you: that you have relinquished your first charity.

5. And so, call to mind the place from which you have fallen, and do penance, and do the first works. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.

6. But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

7. Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. To him who prevails, I will give to eat from the Tree of Life, which is in the Paradise of my God.

8. And to the Angel of the Church of Smyrna write: Thus says the First and the Last, he who was dead and now lives:

9. I know your tribulation and your poverty, but you are rich, and that you are blasphemed by those who declare themselves to be Jews and are not, but who are a synagogue of Satan.
