1 Escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Éfeso: Esto dice el que tiene las siete estrellas en su mano derecha, el que camina en medio de los siete candelabros de oro:
1 “To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: “He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lamp stands says these things:
2 Yo conozco tus obras, tu trabajo y tu perseverancia. Sé que no puedes soportar a los malos. Has puesto a prueba a los que dicen ser apóstoles y no lo son, y los has hallado mentirosos.
2 “I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.
3 Has perseverado, has sufrido por causa de mi nombre y no te has cansado.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
4 Pero tengo esto contra ti: has dejado tu primer amor.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
5 Recuerda, pues, de dónde has caído. Arrepiéntete y haz las primeras obras. Si no, vendré a ti y quitaré tu candelabro de su lugar, si no te arrepientes.
5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.
6 Pero tienes esto a tu favor: aborreces las obras de los nicolaítas, las cuales yo también aborrezco.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. Al que venza, le daré a comer del árbol de la vida, que está en el paraíso de Dios.
7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.
8 Escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Esmirna: Esto dice el Primero y el Último, el que estuvo muerto y volvió a vivir:
8 “To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:
9 Yo conozco tus obras, tu tribulación y tu pobreza, aunque en verdad eres rico. También conozco la blasfemia de los que dicen ser judíos y no lo son, sino que son sinagoga de Satanás.
9 “I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
10 No temas lo que vas a sufrir. Mira, el diablo echará a algunos de ustedes en la cárcel, para que sean probados, y tendrán tribulación por diez días. Sé fiel hasta la muerte, y yo te daré la corona de la vida.
10 Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. El que venza no sufrirá daño de la segunda muerte.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be harmed by the second death.
12 Escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Pérgamo: Esto dice el que tiene la espada aguda de dos filos:
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
13 Yo conozco tus obras y sé dónde vives: donde está el trono de Satanás. Pero te mantienes fiel a mi nombre, y no negaste tu fe en mí, ni aun en los días de Antipas, mi testigo fiel, quien fue muerto entre ustedes, donde vive Satanás.
13 “I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn’t deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
14 Pero tengo unas pocas cosas contra ti: tienes allí a algunos que siguen la enseñanza de Balaam, quien enseñó a Balac a poner tropiezo delante de los hijos de Israel, para que comieran cosas sacrificadas a los ídolos y cometieran inmoralidad sexual.
14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
15 Así también tienes a algunos que siguen la enseñanza de los nicolaítas.
15 So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 Por tanto, arrepiéntete. Si no, vendré pronto a ti y pelearé contra ellos con la espada de mi boca.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. Al que venza, le daré del maná escondido. También le daré una piedrita blanca, y en la piedrita estará escrito un nombre nuevo, que nadie conoce sino aquel que lo recibe.
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows but he who receives it.
18 Escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Tiatira: Esto dice el Hijo de Dios, que tiene ojos como llama de fuego y pies semejantes al bronce pulido:
18 “To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:
19 Yo conozco tus obras, tu amor, tu fe, tu servicio y tu perseverancia. Sé que tus últimas obras son más numerosas que las primeras.
19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
20 Pero tengo esto contra ti: toleras a esa mujer Jezabel, que se llama profetisa. Ella enseña y seduce a mis siervos para que cometan inmoralidad sexual y coman cosas sacrificadas a los ídolos.
20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
21 Le di tiempo para que se arrepintiera, pero no quiere arrepentirse de su inmoralidad sexual.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
22 Mira, la arrojaré en cama de sufrimiento; y a los que cometen adulterio con ella los arrojaré en gran tribulación, si no se arrepienten de sus obras.
22 Behold, I will throw her and those who commit adultery with her into a bed of great oppression, unless they repent of her works.
23 Daré muerte a sus hijos, y todas las iglesias sabrán que yo soy el que examina la mente y el corazón. Daré a cada uno de ustedes según sus obras.
23 I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
24 Pero a ustedes, los demás en Tiatira, a todos los que no tienen esta enseñanza y no han conocido lo que ellos llaman las profundidades de Satanás, les digo: no les impondré otra carga.
24 But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira—as many as don’t have this teaching, who don’t know what some call ‘the deep things of Satan’—to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.
25 Solo retengan lo que tienen hasta que yo venga.
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
26 Al que venza y guarde mis obras hasta el fin, le daré autoridad sobre las naciones.
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
27 Las gobernará con vara de hierro; serán quebradas como vasos de barro, así como yo también recibí autoridad de mi Padre.
27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots, as I also have received of my Father;
28 Y le daré la estrella de la mañana.
28 and I will give him the morning star.
29 El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Wherefore the Word has also spoken of them thus: "But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate." Chapter XXVII — Doctrines of Cerdo and Marcion
… and is called so; so also, when man is grafted in by faith and receives the Spirit of God, he certainly does not lose the substance of flesh, but changes the quality of the fruit [brought forth, i.e.,] of his works, and receives another name, showing that he has become changed for the better, being now not [mere] flesh and …
