Escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Efeso^a:«El que tiene las siete estrellas^b en su mano derecha, el que anda entre¹ los siete candelabros^c de oro, dice esto: 2 “Yo conozco tus obras, tu fatiga y tu perseverancia^a, y que no puedes soportar a los malos, y has sometido a prueba^b a los que se dicen ser apóstoles^c y no lo son, y los has hallado mentirosos¹. 3 Tienes perseverancia, y has sufrido por mi nombre^a y no has desmayado. 4 Pero tengo esto contra ti: que has dejado tu primer amor^a. 5 Recuerda, por tanto, de dónde has caído y arrepiéntete^a, y haz las obras que hiciste al principio^1b; si no, vendré² a ti y quitaré tu candelabro de su lugar^c, si no te arrepientes. 6 Sin embargo tienes esto: que aborreces las obras de los nicolaítas^a, las cuales yo también aborrezco. 7 El que tiene oído^a, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. Al vencedor^1b le daré a comer del árbol de la vida^c, que está en el paraíso de Dios^d”».

8 Y escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Esmirna^a:«El primero y el último^b, el que estuvo muerto y ha vuelto a la vida^c, dice esto: 9 “Yo conozco¹ tu tribulación^a y tu pobreza^b (pero tú eres rico^c), y la blasfemia de los que se dicen ser judíos y no lo son^d, sino que son sinagoga de Satanás^e. 10 No temas lo que estás por sufrir. He aquí, el diablo echará a algunos de vosotros en la cárcel para que seáis probados^a, y tendréis tribulación por diez días^b. Sé fiel hasta la muerte^c, y yo te daré la corona de la vida^d. 11 El que tiene oído^a, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. El vencedor^1b no sufrirá daño de la muerte segunda^c”».

12 Y escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Pérgamo^a:«El que tiene la espada aguda de dos filos^b, dice esto: 13 “Yo sé¹ dónde moras: donde está el trono de Satanás^a. Guardas fielmente mi nombre y no has negado mi fe^b, aun en los días de Antipas, mi testigo^c, mi siervo fiel^d, que fue muerto entre vosotros, donde mora Satanás^e. 14 Pero tengo unas pocas cosas contra ti^a, porque tienes ahí a los que mantienen la doctrina de Balaam^b, que enseñaba a Balac a poner tropiezo ante los hijos de Israel, a comer cosas sacrificadas a los ídolos y a cometer actos de inmoralidad^c. 15 Así tú también tienes algunos que de la misma manera mantienen la doctrina de los nicolaítas^a. 16 Por tanto, arrepiéntete^a; si no, vendré¹ a ti pronto^b y pelearé contra ellos con la espada de mi boca^c. 17 El que tiene oído^a, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. Al vencedor^1b le daré del maná escondido^c y le daré una piedrecita blanca, y grabado en la piedrecita^d un nombre nuevo, el cual nadie conoce sino aquel que lo recibe^e”».

18 Y escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Tiatira^a:«El Hijo de Dios^b, que tiene ojos¹ como llama de fuego^c, y cuyos pies son semejantes al bronce bruñido, dice esto: 19 “Yo conozco tus obras^a, tu amor, tu fe, tu servicio y tu perseverancia^b, y que tus obras recientes¹ son mayores que las primeras. 20 Pero tengo esto contra ti^a: que toleras a esa¹ mujer Jezabel^b, que se dice ser profetisa, y enseña y seduce a mis siervos a que cometan actos inmorales y coman cosas sacrificadas a los ídolos^c. 21 Le he dado tiempo para arrepentirse^a, y no quiere arrepentirse de su inmoralidad^b. 22 Mira, la postraré¹ en cama, y a los que cometen adulterio con ella^a los arrojaré en gran tribulación, si no se arrepienten de las obras de ella². 23 Y a sus hijos mataré con pestilencia¹, y todas las iglesias sabrán que yo soy el que escudriña las mentes^2a y los corazones, y os daré a cada uno según vuestras obras^b. 24 Pero a vosotros, a los demás que están en Tiatira^a, a cuantos no tienen esta doctrina, que no han conocido las cosas profundas de Satanás^b, como ellos las llaman, os digo: No os impongo otra carga^c. 25 No obstante, lo que tenéis^a, retenedlo hasta que yo venga^b. 26 Y al vencedor^1a, al que guarda mis obras hasta el fin^b, LE DARÉ AUTORIDAD SOBRE LAS NACIONES^2c; 27 Y LAS REGIRÁ¹ CON VARA DE HIERRO^a, COMO LOS VASOS DEL ALFARERO SON HECHOS PEDAZOS^b, ²como yo también he recibido autoridad de mi Padre; 28 y le daré el lucero de la mañana^a. 29 El que tiene oído^a, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias”».
