13‘I knowG3609 whereG4226 you dwellG2730, whereG3699 1Satan’sG4567 throneG2362 is; and you holdG2902 firmlyG2902 to My nameG3686, and did not denyG720 2My faithG4102 evenG2532 in the daysG2250 of AntipasG493, My 3witnessG3144, My 4faithfulG4103 oneG4103, whoG3739 was killedG615 amongG3844 you, 5whereG3699 SatanG4567 dwellsG2730. 14But 6I haveG2192 a fewG3641 thingsG3641 againstG2596 you, becauseG3754 you haveG2192 some thereG1563 who holdG2902 the 7teachingG1322 of BalaamG903, whoG3739 kept teachingG1321 BalakG904 to putG906 a 8stumblingG4625 blockG4625 beforeG1799 the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474, 9to eatG2068 thingsG1494 sacrificedG1494 toG1494 idolsG1494 and to commitG4203 sexualG4203 immoralityG4203. 15SoG3779 you tooG2532, haveG2192 some who in the sameG3668 wayG3668 holdG2902 to the teachingG1322 of the 10NicolaitansG3531. 16ThereforeG3767 11repentG3340; orG1161 elseG1490 12I am comingG2064 to you quicklyG5035, and I will wageG4170 warG4170 againstG3326 them with 13the swordG4501 of My mouthG4750. 17 14The one who hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the churchesG1577. 15To the one who overcomesG3528, I will giveG1325 some of the hiddenG2928 16mannaG3131, and I will giveG1325 him a whiteG3022 stoneG5586, and a 17newG2537 nameG3686 writtenG1125 on the stoneG5586 18whichG3739 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG3609 exceptG1508 the one who receivesG2983 it.’

18“And to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in 19ThyatiraG2363 writeG1125:

20The SonG5207 of GodG2316, 21who hasG2192 22eyesG3788 likeG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442, and 23feetG4228 likeG3664 burnishedG5474 bronzeG5474, saysG3004 thisG3592:

19‘24I knowG3609 your deedsG2041, and your loveG26 and faithG4102, and serviceG1248 and 25perseveranceG5281, and that your 26deedsG2041 of lateG2078 are greaterG4183 than 27at firstG4413. 20But 28I haveG2192 this againstG2596 you, that you tolerateG863 the womanG1135 29JezebelG2403, who callsG3004 herselfG1438 a prophetessG4398, and she teachesG1321 and leadsG4105 My bond-servantsG1401 astrayG4105 so that they 30commitG4203 sexualG4203 immoralityG4203 and eatG2068 thingsG1494 sacrificedG1494 toG1494 idolsG1494. 21 31I gaveG1325 her timeG5550 to repentG3340, and she 32does not wantG2309 to repentG3340 of her sexualG4202 immoralityG4202. 22BeholdG2400, I will throwG906 her on a bedG2825 of sickness, and thoseG3588 who 33commitG3431 adulteryG3431 with her into greatG3173 tribulationG2347, unlessG1437 G3361 they repentG3340 of 34her deedsG2041. 23And I will killG615 her childrenG5043 with 35plagueG2288, and allG3956 the churchesG1577 will knowG1097 that I amG1510 He who 36searchesG2038 the 37mindsG3510 and heartsG2588; and 38I will giveG1325 to eachG1538 oneG1538 of you accordingG2596 to your deedsG2041. 24But I sayG3004 to you, the restG3062 who are in 39ThyatiraG2363, whoG3745 do not holdG2192 thisG3778 teachingG1322, whoG3748 have not knownG1097 the 40deepG901 thingsG901 of SatanG4567, as they callG3004 them--I 41placeG906 noG3756 otherG243 burdenG922 on you. 25NeverthelessG4133 42whatG3739 you haveG2192, holdG2902 firmlyG2902 43untilG891 I comeG2240. 26 44The one who overcomesG3528, and the one who keepsG5083 My deedsG2041 45untilG891 the endG5056, 46I will giveG1325 him authorityG1849 overG1909 the 47nationsG1484; 27and he shall 48 49ruleG4165 them with a rodG4464 of ironG4603, 50as the vesselsG4632 of the potterG2764 are shatteredG4937, as I alsoG2532 have receivedG2983 authority from My FatherG3962; 28and I will giveG1325 him 51the morningG4407 starG792. 29 52The one who hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the churchesG1577.’
