trumpet,

1:11. Saying: What thou seest, write in a book and send to the seven
churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamus and
to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.

1:12. And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being
turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks:

1:13. And in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, one like to the
Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girt about the
paps with a golden girdle.

1:14. And his head and his hairs were white as white wool and as snow.
And his eyes were as a flame of fire:

1:15. And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And
his voice as the sound of many waters.

1:16. And he had in his right hand seven stars. And from his mouth came
out a sharp two-edged sword. And his face was as the sun shineth in his
power.

1:17. And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid
his right hand upon me, saying: Fear not. I am the First and the Last,

1:18. And alive, and was dead. And behold I am living for ever and ever
and have the keys of death and of hell.

1:19. Write therefore the things which thou hast seen: and which are:
and which must be done hereafter.

1:20. The mystery of the seven stars, which thou sawest in my right hand
and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the
seven churches. And the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.

Apocalypse Chapter 2

Directions what to write to the angels or bishops of Ephesus, Smyrna,
Pergamus and Thyatira.

2:1. Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write: These things saith
he who holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the
midst of the seven golden candlesticks:

2:2. I know thy works and thy labour and thy patience and how thou canst
not bear them that are evil. And thou hast tried them who say they are
apostles and are not: and hast found them liars:

2:3. And thou hast patience and hast endured for my name and hast not
fainted.

2:4. But I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first
charity.

2:5. Be mindful therefore from whence thou art fallen: and do penance
and do the first works. Or else I come to thee and will move thy
candlestick out of its place, except thou do penance.

2:6. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaites,
which I also hate.

2:7. He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith
