171He who hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the churchesG1577. 2To him who overcomesG3528, to him I will giveG1325 some of the hiddenG2928 3mannaG3131, and I will giveG1325 him a whiteG3022 stoneG5586, and a 4newG2537 nameG3686 writtenG1125 on the stoneG5586 5whichG3739 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG3609 but he who receivesG2983 it.’

18“And to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in 6ThyatiraG2363 writeG1125:

7The SonG5207 of GodG2316, 8who hasG2192 9eyesG3788 likeG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442, and His feetG4228 are likeG3664 burnishedG5474 bronzeG5474, saysG3004 thisG3592:

19‘10I knowG3609 your deedsG2041, and your loveG26 and faithG4102 and serviceG1248 and 11perseveranceG5281, and that your 12deedsG2041 of lateG2078 are greaterG4183 than 13at firstG4413. 20But 14I haveG2192 this againstG2596 you, that you tolerateG863 the womanG1135 15JezebelG2403, who callsG3004 herselfG1438 a prophetessG4398, and she teachesG1321 and leadsG4105 My bond-servantsG1401 astrayG4105 so that they 16commitG4203 acts of immoralityG4203 and eatG2068 thingsG1494 sacrificedG1494 to idolsG1494. 2117I gaveG1325 her timeG5550 to repentG3340, and she 18does not wantG2309 to repentG3340 of her immoralityG4202. 22BeholdG2400, I will throwG906 her 19on a bedG2825 of sickness, and thoseG3588 who 20commitG3431 adulteryG3431 with her into greatG3173 tribulationG2347, unlessG1437G3361 they repentG3340 of 21her deedsG2041. 23And I will killG615 her childrenG5043 with 22pestilenceG2288, and allG3956 the churchesG1577 will knowG1097 that I amG1510 He who 23searchesG2045 the 24mindsG3510 and heartsG2588; and 25I will giveG1325 to eachG1538 oneG1538 of you accordingG2596 to your deedsG2041. 24But I sayG3004 to you, the restG3062 who are in 26ThyatiraG2363, whoG3745 do not holdG2192 thisG3778 teachingG1322, whoG3748 have not knownG1097 the 27deepG901 thingsG901 of SatanG4567, as they callG3004 them--I 28placeG906 noG3756 otherG243 burdenG922 on you. 25NeverthelessG4133 29whatG3739 you haveG2192, holdG2902 fastG2902 30untilG891 I comeG2240. 2631He who overcomesG3528, and he who keepsG5083 My deedsG2041 32untilG891 the endG5056, 33to him I will giveG1325 authorityG1849 overG1909 the 34nationsG1484;
