"To the angel of the church in
Ephesus
write: These are the
words of him
who holds the
seven stars in his
right
hand
and walks among the
seven
golden lamp stands:
I know your deeds, your hard
work
and your perseverance.
I know that
you cannot tolerate
wicked men,
that you have
tested those who
claim to be
apostles but are not,
and have found them false.
You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name,
and have
not grown weary.
Yet I hold this against
you:
You have forsaken your first love.
Remember the height from which
you
have fallen! Repent and do
the things
you did at first. If you
do not repent,
I will come to you
and remove your lamp stand
from its place.
But you have this in your favor:
You hate the practices of the
Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
He who has an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit says to the churches.
To him who overcomes
(nikao),
I will give the
right to eat
from the tree of life,
which is in the paradise of God.

after describing the new heaven and new earth
He who overcomes
(nikao)
will inherit all this,

be his God
and he will be my son
Revelation
21:6-7
"Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.
I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am
alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death
and Hades.
"Write, therefore, what you have seen,
what is now and what will take place later.
The mystery of the seven stars that you saw
in my right hand and of the seven golden
lampstands is this: The seven stars are the
angels of the seven churches, and the seven
lampstands are the seven churches.
