Context of Revelation 2:24
22Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds. 23And I will kill her children with plague, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira - The word - “and” - ̀ kai- is omitted in many mss. and versions, and in the critical editions of Griesbach, Tittmann, and Hahn, and the connection demands that it should be omitted.
