Revelation 2:18-23

18“And to the angel of the church in 1Thyatira write:

2The Son of God, 3who has 4eyes like a flame of fire, and 5feet like burnished bronze, says this:

19‘6I know your deeds, and your love and faith, and service and 7perseverance, and that your 8deeds of late are greater than 9at first. 20But 10I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman 11Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they 12commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 13I gave her time to repent, and she 14does not want to repent of her sexual immorality. 22Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who 15commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of 16her deeds. 23And I will kill her children with 17plague, and all the churches will know that I am He who 18searches the 19minds and hearts; and 20I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
