Jesus advises the seven churches

Jesus gives the following advice to the seven churches:

The church of Ephesus: I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, sareng tobat, and do the first works; atawa lain kuring bakal datang ka anjeun gancang, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent

The church of Smyrna: Ulah sieun salah sahiji hal anu anjeun bakal sangsara: ningal, Iblis bakal tuang sababaraha anjeun kana panjara, supaya anjeun bisa diusahakeun; jeung anjeun bakal boga tribulation sapuluh poé:kudu satia nepi ka maot

The church of Pergamos: Thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, dahar barang kurban ka brahala, jeung ngalakukeun cabul. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Tobat; atawa lain kuring bakal datang ka anjeun gancang, Sareng bakal ngalawan ngalawan aranjeunna nganggo pedang sungut kuring

The church of Thyatira: Thou suffered that woman Jezebel, nu nyebut dirina nabi awéwé, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, jeung dahar barang kurban ka brahala. Sareng kuring masihan anjeunna rohangan pikeun tobat tina cabulna; jeung manehna teu tobat. Behold, Kuring bakal tuang anjeunna kana ranjang, jeung jalma anu zinah jeung manehna kana tribulation hébat, iwal aranjeunna tobat tina amal maranéhanana. Sarta kuring bakal maéhan barudak nya ku pati; jeung sakabeh gereja bakal nyaho yén Kami manéhna nu maluruh reins jeung hate: sarta kuring bakal masihan ka unggal salah sahiji anjeun nurutkeun karya anjeun

The church of Sardis: Abdi terang karya, yén aranjeunna henteu gaduh nami anu anjeun betah, sareng meni paéh. Jaga, sareng nguatkeun hal-hal anu tetep, anu siap maot: pikeun kuring henteu mendakan teh damel sampurna sateuacan Gusti. Émut janten kumaha anjeun kantos nampi sareng nguping, sareng tahan gancang, sareng tobat. Upami janten aranjeunna henteu nonton, Kuring bakal sumping ka maling, sareng anjeun henteu terang jam sabaraha kuring bakal sumping ka anjeun

The church of Philadelphia: Abdi terang karya: ningal, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and has kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; ningal, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the word of my patients, Kuring ogé bakal ngajaga anjeun tina jam godaan, nu bakal datang ka sakuliah dunya, pikeun nyobaan jalma anu cicing di bumi. Behold, Kuring datang gancang: cekelan anu anjeun gaduh, yén teu aya anu nyandak makuta anjeun

The church of Laodiceans: Abdi terang karya, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, jeung taranjang: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; jeung pakean bodas, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. Saloba Abdi bogoh, Abdi ngahukum sareng ngahukum:jadi getol kituna, sareng tobat. Behold, I stand at the door, jeung sambel: if any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me

What is the reward for born-again Christians?

Keep Jesus His commandments and take His advice, which He gave to the seven churches. Listen to what the Spirit says to the church. If you hold on to the Word, jeung leumpang sanggeus Roh; sanggeus kersa Alloh, then every church and every person, saha dilahirkeun deui and therefore belongs to the church, shall overcome and shall receive the following reward:

Jesus will give to eat of the Tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God
Jesus will give him the crown and shall not be hurt of the second death
Jesus will give him to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name is written, which no man knows saving he that receives it
Jesus will give him power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as Jesus received of His Father. And Jesus will give him the morning star
Jesus will clothe him in white raiment, and He will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but He will confess his name before His Father, and before his angels
Jesus will make him a pillar in the temple of His God, and he shall go no more out: and Jesus will write upon him the name of His God, and the name of the city of His God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from His God: and Jesus will write upon him his new name
Jesus will grant him to sit with Him in His throne, even as He also overcame, and is set down with His Father in His throne
