Revelation 2:13-29

13‘I knowG3609 whereG4226 you dwellG2730, whereG3699 1Satan’sG4567 throneG2362 is; and you holdG2902 fastG2902 My nameG3686, and did not denyG720 2My faithG4102 evenG2532 in the daysG2250 of AntipasG493, My 3witnessG3144, My 4faithfulG4103 oneG4103, whoG3739 was killedG615 amongG3844 you, 5whereG3699 SatanG4567 dwellsG2730. 14But 6I haveG2192 a fewG3641 thingsG3641 againstG2596 you, becauseG3754 you haveG2192 thereG1563 some who holdG2902 the 7teachingG1322 of BalaamG903, whoG3739 kept teachingG1321 BalakG904 to putG906 a stumblingG4625 blockG4625 beforeG1799 the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474, 8to eatG2068 thingsG1494 sacrificedG1494 to idolsG1494 and to commitG4203 acts of immoralityG4203. 15SoG3779 you alsoG2532 haveG2192 some who in the sameG3668 wayG3668 holdG2902 the teachingG1322 of the 9NicolaitansG3531. 16ThereforeG3767 10repentG3340; orG1161 elseG1490 11I am comingG2064 to you quicklyG5035, and I will makeG4170 warG4170 againstG3326 them with 12the swordG4501 of My mouthG4750. 17 13He who hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the churchesG1577. 14To him who overcomesG3528, to him I will giveG1325 some of the hiddenG2928 15mannaG3131, and I will giveG1325 him a whiteG3022 stoneG5586, and a 16newG2537 nameG3686 writtenG1125 on the stoneG5586 17whichG3739 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG3609 but he who receivesG2983 it.’

18“And to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in 18ThyatiraG2363 writeG1125:

19The SonG5207 of GodG2316, 20who hasG2192 21eyesG3788 likeG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442, and His feetG4228 are likeG3664 burnishedG5474 bronzeG5474, saysG3004 thisG3592:

19‘22I knowG3609 your deedsG2041, and your loveG26 and faithG4102 and serviceG1248 and 23perseveranceG5281, and that your 24deedsG2041 of lateG2078 are greaterG4183 than 25at firstG4413. 20But 26I haveG2192 this againstG2596 you, that you tolerateG863 the womanG1135 27JezebelG2403, who callsG3004 herselfG1438 a prophetessG4398, and she teachesG1321 and leadsG4105 My bond-servantsG1401 astrayG4105 so that they 28commitG4203 acts of immoralityG4203 and eatG2068 thingsG1494 sacrificedG1494 to idolsG1494. 21 29I gaveG1325 her timeG5550 to repentG3340, and she 30does not wantG2309 to repentG3340 of her immoralityG4202. 22BeholdG2400, I will throwG906 her 31on a bedG2825 of sickness, and thoseG3588 who 32commitG3431 adulteryG3431 with her into greatG3173 tribulationG2347, unlessG1437 G3361 they repentG3340 of 33her deedsG2041. 23And I will killG615 her childrenG5043 with 34pestilenceG2288, and allG3956 the churchesG1577 will knowG1097 that I amG1510 He who 35searchesG2045 the 36mindsG3510 and heartsG2588; and 37I will giveG1325 to eachG1538 oneG1538 of you accordingG2596 to your deedsG2041. 24But I sayG3004 to you, the restG3062 who are in 38ThyatiraG2363, whoG3745 do not holdG2192 thisG3778 teachingG1322, whoG3748 have not knownG1097 the 39deepG901 thingsG901 of SatanG4567, as they callG3004 them--I 40placeG906 noG3756 otherG243 burdenG922 on you. 25NeverthelessG4133 41whatG3739 you haveG2192, holdG2902 fastG2902 42untilG891 I comeG2240. 26 43He who overcomesG3528, and he who keepsG5083 My deedsG2041 44untilG891 the endG5056, 45to him I will giveG1325 authorityG1849 overG1909 the 46nationsG1484; 27and he shall 47 48ruleG4165 them with a rodG4464 of ironG4603, 49as the vesselsG4632 of the potterG2764 are brokenG4937 to piecesG4937, as I alsoG2532 have receivedG2983 authority from My FatherG3962; 28and I will giveG1325 him 50the morningG4407 starG792. 29 51He who hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the churchesG1577.’
