- Ibandla lase-Efesu: Nginokuthile ngawe, ngoba ulahlile uthando lwakho lokuqala. Ngakho khumbula lapho uwe khona, futhi baphenduke, futhi nenze imisebenzi yokuqala; uma kungenjalo, ngizakuza kuwe masinyane, lususe uthi lwesibane sakho endaweni yalo, ngaphandle kokuthi uphenduke
- Ibandla laseSmirna: Ungesabi lezozinto ozahlupheka ngazo: bheka, usathane uzaphonsa abanye benu etilongweni, ukuze nilingwe; niyakuba nosizi izinsuku eziyishumi:uthembeke kuze kube sekufeni

Kanjalo nawe unabo ababamba isifundiso samaNikolawu, okuyinto engiyizondayo. Phenduka; uma kungenjalo, ngizakuza kuwe masinyane, futhi ngizolwa nabo ngenkemba yomlomo wami
- Ibandla laseThiyathira: Wamvumela lowo wesifazane uJezebeli, ozibiza ngomprofethikazi, ukufundisa lokuyenga izinceku zami ukuthi zenze ubufebe, lokudla okuhlatshelwe izithombe. Ngamnika isikhathi sokuba aphenduke ebufebeni bakhe; futhi kaphendukanga. Bheka, Ngizomlahlela embhedeni, lalabo abaphinga laye babangise ekuhluphekeni okukhulu, ngaphandle kokuthi baphenduke ezenzweni zabo. Futhi ngizobulala izingane zakhe ngokufa; namabandla onke ayakwazi ukuthi mina nginguye ohlola izinso nezinhliziyo: ngiyakumnika yilowo nalowo ngokwemisebenzi yakhe
Ibandla laseSardesi: ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, ukuthi unegama lokuthi uphila, futhi ufile. Qaphela, futhi uqinise okuseleyo, asebelungele ukufa: ngoba kangitholanga imisebenzi yakho iphelele phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ngakho khumbula ukuthi wamukele wezwa kanjani, futhi nibambelele, futhi baphenduke. Ngakho-ke uma ungalindi, ngiyakuza phezu kwakho njengesela, njalo kawusoze walazi ihola engizakuza phezu kwakho ngalo
- Isonto laseFiladelphia: ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho: bheka, ngimisile phambi kwakho umnyango ovuliweyo, futhi akekho ongayivala: ngoba ulamandla amancane, futhi uligcinile izwi lami, futhi kawuliphikanga ibizo lami. Bheka, ngiyakubakhipha esinagogeni likaSathane, abathi bangamaJuda, futhi azikho, kodwa uqambe amanga; bheka, ngizabenza beze bakhuleke phambi kwenyawo zakho, nokwazi ukuthi ngikuthandile. Ngoba uligcinile izwi leziguli zami, nami ngiyakukugcina ehoreni lokulingwa, elizakufika emhlabeni wonke, ukulinga abakhileyo emhlabeni. Bheka, Ngiza ngokushesha: bambisise lokho onakho, ukuze kungabikho muntu okwamuka umqhele wakho
- Ibandla laseLawodikeya: ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, ukuthi kawubandi futhi kawushisi: Sengathi uyabanda noma uyashisa. Ngakho-ke ngoba usivivi, futhi akubandi futhi ashisi, ngiyakukuhlanza uphume emlonyeni wami. Ngoba uthi, Ngicebile, futhi anda ngezimpahla, njalo kabasweli lutho; kanti kawazi ukuthi ulusizi, futhi elusizi, nabampofu, nezimpumputhe, futhi nqunu: ngiyakululeka ukuba uthenge kimi igolide elihlanjululwe emlilweni, ukuze ucebe; nezingubo ezimhlophe, ukuze wembathiswe, futhi lingabonakali ihlazo lobunqunu bakho; futhi ugcobe amehlo akho ngomuthi wamehlo, ukuze ubone. Abaningi engibathandayo, ngiyakhuza ngiyalaya:ngakho shiseka, futhi baphenduke. Bheka, Ngime emnyango, futhi angqongqoze: uba umuntu ezwa ilizwi lami, bese evula umnyango, ngizongena kuye, futhi ngizodla naye, futhi yena nami
