Revelation 2:17-26
171He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 2To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden 3manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a 4new name written on the stone 5which no one knows but he who receives it.’
18“And to the angel of the church in 6Thyatira write:
7The Son of God, 8who has 9eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze, says this:
19‘10I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and 11perseverance, and that your 12deeds of late are greater than 13at first. 20But 14I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman 15Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they 16commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 2117I gave her time to repent, and she 18does not want to repent of her immorality. 22Behold, I will throw her 19on a bed of sickness, and those who 20commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of 21her deeds. 23And I will kill her children with 22pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who 23searches the 24minds and hearts; and 25I will give to each one of you according to your deeds. 24But I say to you, the rest who are in 26Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the 27deep things of Satan, as they call them--I 28place no other burden on you. 25Nevertheless 29what you have, hold fast 30until I come. 2631He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds 32until the end, 33to him I will give authority over the 34nations;
