Revelation 2:13-29

13I know whereG3699 thou dwellest, evenG2532 whereG3699 Satan’s throneG2362 is; and thou holdest fastG2902 my nameG3686, and didst not denyG720 my faithG4102, evenG2532 in the daysG2250 of Antipas my witnessG3144, my faithfulG4103 oneG3739, who was killedG615 among you, whereG3699 SatanG4567 dwelleth. 14But I have a fewG3641 thingsG3739 against thee, because thou hast there some that holdG2902 the teachingG1321 of BalaamG903, who taughtG1321 Balak to castG906 a stumblingblock before the children of IsraelG2474, to eatG2068 thingsG3739 sacrificed to idols, and to commitG4203 fornication. 15So hast thou alsoG2532 some that holdG2902 the teachingG1322 of the NicolaitansG3531 in like mannerG3779. 16RepentG3340 thereforeG3767; or else I comeG2064 to thee quicklyG5035, and I will make warG4170 against them with the swordG4501 of my mouthG4750. 17He that hath an earG3775, let him hearG191 what the SpiritG4151 saith to the churchesG1577. To him that overcometh, to him will I giveG1325 of the hiddenG2928 mannaG3131, and I will giveG1325 him a whiteG3022 stoneG5586, and upon the stoneG5586 a newG2537 nameG3686 writtenG1125, which no oneG3762 knoweth but he that receiveth it.

18And to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in ThyatiraG2363 writeG1125:

These things saith the SonG5207 of GodG2316, who hath his eyesG3788 like a flameG5395 of fireG4442, and his feetG4228 are like unto burnished brass: 19I know thy worksG2041, and thy loveG26 and faithG4102 and ministryG1248 and patience, and that thy lastG2078 worksG2041 are moreG4183 than the firstG4413. 20But I have this against thee, that thou sufferest the womanG1135 Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetessG4398; and she teacheth and seduceth my servantsG1401 to commitG4203 fornication, and to eatG2068 things sacrificed to idols. 21And I gaveG1325 her timeG5550 that she should repentG3340; and she willeth not to repentG3340 of her fornication. 22BeholdG2400, I castG906 her into a bedG2825, and them that commitG3431 adulteryG3431 with her into greatG3173 tribulationG2347, except they repentG3340 of her worksG2041. 23And I will killG615 her childrenG5043 with deathG2288; and all the churchesG1577 shall knowG1097 that I amG1510 he that searcheth the reins and heartsG2588: and I will giveG1325 unto each oneG1538 of you accordingG2596 to your worksG2041. 24But to you I sayG3004, to the restG3062 that are in ThyatiraG2363, as manyG3745 as have not this teachingG1322, who knowG1097 not the deepG901 thingsG3778 of SatanG4567, as they are wont to sayG3004; I castG906 upon you none otherG243 burdenG922. 25NeverthelessG4133 that which ye have, holdG2902 fastG2902 till I comeG2240. 26And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my worksG2041 unto the endG5056, to him will I giveG1325 authorityG1849 over the nationsG1484: 27and he shall rule them with a rodG4464 of ironG4603, as the vesselsG4632 of the potter are broken to shivers; as I alsoG2532 have receivedG2983 of my FatherG3962: 28and I will giveG1325 him the morningG4407 starG792. 29He that hath an earG3775, let him hearG191 what the SpiritG4151 saith to the churchesG1577.
