Revelation 2:23-29

23And I will kill her children with 1pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who 2searches the 3minds and hearts; and 4I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

24But I say to you, the rest who are in 5Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the 6deep things of Satan, as they call them--I 7place no other burden on you.

25Nevertheless 8what you have, hold fast 9until I come.

26 10He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds 11until the end, 12to him I will give authority over the 13nations;

27and he shall 14 15rule them with a rod of iron, 16as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from My Father;

28and I will give him 17the morning star.

29 18He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
