Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Revelation
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Revelation
002:011 "'Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying
to the Churches. He who overcomes shall be in no way hurt
by the Second Death.'
002:012 "To the minister of the Church at Pergamum write as follows:
"'This is what He who has the sharp, two-edged sword says.
I know where you dwell.
002:013 Satan's throne is there; and yet you are true to Me, and did
not deny your faith in Me, even in the days of Antipas My
witness and faithful friend, who was put to death among you,
in the place where Satan dwells.
002:014 Yet I have a few things against you, because you have with you
some that cling to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak
to put a stumbling-block in the way of the descendants of Israel--
to eat what had been sacrificed to idols, and commit fornication.
002:015 So even you have some that cling in the same way to the teaching
of the Nicolaitans.
002:016 Repent, at once; or else I will come to you quickly, and will
make war upon them with the sword which is in My mouth.
002:017 "'Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying
to the Churches. He who overcomes--to him I will give some
of the hidden Manna, and a white stone; and--written upon
the stone and known only to him who receives it--a new name.'
002:018 "To the minister of the Church at Thyateira write as follows:
"'This is what the Son of God says--He who has eyes like a flame
of fire, and feet resembling silver-bronze.
002:019 I know your doings, your love, your faith, your service,
and your patient endurance; and that of late you have toiled
harder than you did at first.
002:020 Yet I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel,
who calls herself a prophetess and by her teaching leads
astray My servants, so that they commit fornication and eat
what has been sacrificed to idols.
002:021 I have given her time to repent, but she is determined not
to repent of her fornication.
002:022 I tell you that I am about to cast her upon a bed of sickness,
and I will severely afflict those who commit adultery with her,
unless they repent of conduct such as hers.
002:023 Her children too shall surely die; and all the Churches shall come
to know that I am He who searches into men's inmost thoughts;
and to each of you I will give a requital which shall be
in accordance with what your conduct has been.
002:024 But to you, the rest of you in Thyateira, all who do not
hold this teaching and are not the people who have learnt
the "deep things," as they call them (the deep things of Satan!)--
to you I say that I lay no other burden on you.
002:025 Only that which you already possess, cling to until I come.
