Context of Revelation 2:24
22Look! I am throwing her onto a bed of violent illness, and those who commit adultery with her into terrible suffering, unless they repent of her deeds. 23Furthermore, I will strike her followers with a deadly disease, and then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts. I will repay each one of you what your deeds deserve. But to the rest of you in Thyatira, all who do not hold to this teaching (who have not learned the so-called “deep secrets of Satan”), to you I say: I do not put any additional burden on you. 25However, hold on to what you have until I come. 26And to the one who conquers and who continues in my deeds until the end, I will give him authority over the nations –

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24But unto you I say, and unto the rest - "But unto the rest, etc. This is the reading of the Complutensian, and seems preferable to the common one, as it evidently shows that the rest of the epistle wholly concerns the faithful, who have not received the former doctrine of error.

- 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.
