Revelation 2:20-29

20But 1I haveG2192 this againstG2596 you, that you tolerateG863 the womanG1135 2JezebelG2403, who callsG3004 herselfG1438 a prophetessG4398, and she teachesG1321 and leadsG4105 My bond-servantsG1401 astrayG4105 so that they 3commitG4203 acts of immoralityG4203 and eatG2068 thingsG1494 sacrificedG1494 to idolsG1494.

214I gaveG1325 her timeG5550 to repentG3340, and she 5does not wantG2309 to repentG3340 of her immoralityG4202.

22BeholdG2400, I will throwG906 her 6on a bedG2825 of sickness, and thoseG3588 who 7commitG3431 adulteryG3431 with her into greatG3173 tribulationG2347, unlessG1437G3361 they repentG3340 of 8her deedsG2041.

23And I will killG615 her childrenG5043 with 9pestilenceG2288, and allG3956 the churchesG1577 will knowG1097 that I amG1510 He who 10searchesG2045 the 11mindsG3510 and heartsG2588; and 12I will giveG1325 to eachG1538 oneG1538 of you accordingG2596 to your deedsG2041.

24But I sayG3004 to you, the restG3062 who are in 13ThyatiraG2363, whoG3745 do not holdG2192 thisG3778 teachingG1322, whoG3748 have not knownG1097 the 14deepG901 thingsG901 of SatanG4567, as they callG3004 them--I 15placeG906 noG3756 otherG243 burdenG922 on you.

25NeverthelessG4133 16whatG3739 you haveG2192, holdG2902 fastG2902 17untilG891 I comeG2240.

2618He who overcomesG3528, and he who keepsG5083 My deedsG2041 19untilG891 the endG5056, 20to him I will giveG1325 authorityG1849 overG1909 the 21nationsG1484;

27and he shall 2223ruleG4165 them with a rodG4464 of ironG4603, 24as the vesselsG4632 of the potterG2764 are brokenG4937 to piecesG4937, as I alsoG2532 have receivedG2983 authority from My FatherG3962;

28and I will giveG1325 him 25the morningG4407 starG792.

2926He who hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the churchesG1577.’
