Revelation 2:20-29
20But 1I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman 2Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they 3commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
214I gave her time to repent, and she 5does not want to repent of her sexual immorality.
22Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who 6commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of 7her deeds.
23And I will kill her children with 8plague, and all the churches will know that I am He who 9searches the 10minds and hearts; and 11I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
24But I say to you, the rest who are in 12Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the 13deep things of Satan, as they call them--I 14place no other burden on you.
25Nevertheless 15what you have, hold firmly 16until I come.
2617The one who overcomes, and the one who keeps My deeds 18until the end, 19I will give him authority over the 20nations;
27and he shall 2122rule them with a rod of iron, 23as the vessels of the potter are shattered, as I also have received authority from My Father;
28and I will give him 24the morning star.
2925The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
