Revelation 2:19-24

19‘1I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and 2perseverance, and that your 3deeds of late are greater than 4at first.

20But 5I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman 6Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they 7commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

21 8I gave her time to repent, and she 9does not want to repent of her immorality.

22Behold, I will throw her 10on a bed of sickness, and those who 11commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of 12her deeds.

23And I will kill her children with 13pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who 14searches the 15minds and hearts; and 16I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

24But I say to you, the rest who are in 17Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the 18deep things of Satan, as they call them--I 19place no other burden on you.
