25But continue to obey my message that you have already received. Believe in me until I come.
Revelation 2:25 in other versions
Context of Revelation 2:25
23I will send a terrible illness to kill those who obey her. Then all the people in the churches will know that I look deep inside them. I know what you really want. I know what you really think. I will give each of you what is right for you, as a result of what you have done. 24But I say this to you other people in Thyatira. You have not agreed with what Jezebel taught. You have not learned what they call ‘Satan's deep secrets’. So I say this to you: I will not tell you to obey any other difficult rules. But continue to obey my message that you have already received. Believe in me until I come. 26Continue to obey me until the end and win the fight against Satan. If anyone does that, I will give him authority to rule over the nations of the world. 27That person will rule the nations with strong authority. He will destroy them, like someone who breaks clay pots into many pieces.
