But *ye*, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

But *ye*, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

but others save with fear, snatching [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

But to him that is able to keep you without stumbling, and to set [you] with exultation blameless before his glory,

but I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.

Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent.

But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat [of] idol sacrifices and commit fornication.

But I have against thee that thou permittest the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself prophetess, and she teaches and leads astray my servants to commit fornication and eat of idol sacrifices.

But to you I say, the rest who [are] in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden;

but what ye have hold fast till I shall come.

But thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.

and it was given to them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months; and their torment [was] as [the] torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.

but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God also shall be completed, as he has made known the glad tidings to his own bondmen the prophets.

And I went to the angel, saying to him to give me the little book. And he says to me, Take and eat it up: and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey.
