Revelation 2:18-29
18“And to the angel of the church in 1Thyatira write:
2The Son of God, 3who has 4eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze, says this:
19‘5I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and 6perseverance, and that your 7deeds of late are greater than 8at first. 20But 9I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman 10Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they 11commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 2112I gave her time to repent, and she 13does not want to repent of her immorality. 22Behold, I will throw her 14on a bed of sickness, and those who 15commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of 16her deeds. 23And I will kill her children with 17pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who 18searches the 19minds and hearts; and 20I will give to each one of you according to your deeds. 24But I say to you, the rest who are in 21Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the 22deep things of Satan, as they call them--I 23place no other burden on you. 25Nevertheless 24what you have, hold fast 25until I come. 2626He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds 27until the end, 28to him I will give authority over the 29nations; 27and he shall 3031rule them with a rod of iron, 32as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from My Father; 28and I will give him 33the morning star. 2934He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
