6 Mas isto tu tens: que odeias as obras dos nicolaítas, as quais eu também odeio.

7 Quem tem ouvidos, ouça o que o Espírito diz às igrejas: Ao que vencer, eu lhe darei de comer da árvore da vida, que está no meio do paraíso de Deus.

8 “E escreve ao anjo da igreja dos de Esmirna: “Isto diz o o primeiro e o último, que foi morto, e vive:

9 “Eu conheço tuas obras, e aflição, e pobreza (mas tu és rico) e a blasfêmia dos que dizem serem judeus, e não são, mas [na verdade] são sinagoga de Satanás.

10 Nada temas das coisas que virás a sofrer; eis que o diabo está para lançar [alguns] de vós em prisão, para que sejais tentados; e vós tereis aflição de dez dias. Sê fiel até a morte, e eu te darei a coroa da vida.
