1 “Escribe esto al ángel de la iglesia de Éfeso: Esto es lo que dice el que sostiene 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 Conozco tus logros, tu trabajo arduo y tu perseverancia. Sé que no puedes tolerar a las personas malas, y cómo investigaste a los que decían ser apóstoles y no lo eran, y descubriste su fraude.
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 Conozco tu paciencia, y lo que soportaste por mi causa, y sé que nunca te rendiste.
3 You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
4 “Pero tengo algo contra ti: has descuidado tu primer amor.
4 But I have this against you, that you left your first love.
5 Así que recuerda de dónde has caído, arrepiéntete y vuelve a lo que hacías al principio. De lo contrario vendré a ti y quitaré tu candelabro de su lugar, a menos que te arrepientas.
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 Sin embargo, tienes esto a tu favor: aborreces los actos de los Nicolaítas, tal como yo también lo hago.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 Si tienen oídos, oigan lo que el Espíritu le dice a las iglesias. A los que sean victoriosos yo les daré el privilegio de 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 esto al ángel de la iglesia de Esmirna: Esto es lo que dice el primero y el último, el que estaba muerto y volvió a la vida:
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 Conozco las dificultades que afrontas, y cuán pobre eres (pero eres rico), y también conozco el abuso de los que dicen ser judíos y no lo son, sino que pertenecen a la 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 tengas miedo respecto a las cosas que vas a sufrir. Sí, el diablo llevará a muchos de ustedes a la cárcel, y sufrirán persecución durante diez días. Solo mantente fiel, incluso si esto implica 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 Si tienes oídos, oye lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. La segunda muerte no hará daño a los victoriosos.
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 esto al ángel de la iglesia de Pérgamo: Esto dice el que sostiene la espada de doble filo:
12 “To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: “He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:
13 Yo sé que vives donde Satanás tiene su trono, y que has permanecido fiel a mí. No has negado tu fe en mí, incluso cuando mi fiel testigo Antipas fue asesinado justo en medio de ustedes, justo allí, 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 cuantas cosas contra ti: Hay algunos entre ustedes que guardan las enseñanzas de Balaam, quien enseñó a Balac a engañar a los hijos de Israel por medio de alimentos sacrificados a ídolos y por medio de pecados sexuales.
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 Del mismo modo, tienes a algunos que guardan las enseñanzas de los Nicolaítas.
15 So also you likewise have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 Así que arrepiéntete, o vendré pronto a ti y pelearé contra ellos usando 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 Si tienes oídos, escucha lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. A los que sean victoriosos les daré del maná escondido. Les daré una piedra blanca con un nombre nuevo escrito en ella, el cual nadie conoce sino solo quienes la reciben.
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 esto al ángel de la iglesia de Tiatira: Esto es lo que dice el Hijo de Dios, el que tiene ojos como fuego ardiente y pies como metal refinado.
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 logros, tu amor y fidelidad, tu servicio y perseverancia, y que ahora estás trabajando más que cuando comenzaste a creer.
19 “I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.
20 “Pero tengo algo contra ti: estás dejando que la mujer llamada Jezabel, que se llama a sí misma profetisa, enseñe a mis seguidores, conduciéndolos a la perdición de pecados sexuales, y a comer alimentos sacrificados a 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 Yo le di tiempo de arrepentirse de sus pecados sexuales, pero ella no está dispuesta a hacerlo.
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
22 Por lo tanto yo la arrojo en una cama junto a sus compañeros de adulterio, y sufrirán en gran manera a menos que se arrepientan de lo que han hecho con ella.
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 Yo enviaré a muerte a sus hijos. Entonces todas las iglesias sabrán que yo soy el que examina los pensamientos y las motivaciones. Yo recompensaré a cada uno conforme a 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 “Para el resto de ustedes que están allá en Tiatira y que no siguen esta enseñanza, que no han aprendido la ‘profunda depravación’ de Satanás, como les llaman, yo no les colocaré ninguna otra carga. Sino que les digo:
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 ‘Mantengan lo que tienen hasta que yo venga’.
25 Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
26 A los que sean victoriosos y obedezcan lo que yo ordeno hasta el fin, les 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 Él gobernará las naciones con una vara, quebrantándolas en pedazos como vasijas de barro. Del mismo modo que yo 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 yo les daré la estrella de la mañana.
28 and I will give him the morning star.
29 Si tienen oídos, escuchen 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 …
