18AndG2532 unto the angelG3588G32 of the AssemblyG1577 inG1722 ThyatiraG2363 writeG1125; These thingsG3592 saithG3004 the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316, who hathG2192 hisG846 eyesG3588G3788 like untoG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442, andG2532 hisG846 feetG3588G4228 are likeG3664 fine brassG5474; 19I knowG1492 thyG4771 worksG3588G2041, andG2532 charityG3588G26, andG2532 serviceG3588G1248, andG2532 faithG3588G4102, andG2532 thyG4771 patienceG3588G5281, andG2532 thyG4771 worksG3588G2041; andG2532 the lastG2078 to be moreG4119 than the firstG4413. 20NotwithstandingG235 I haveG2192 a few thingsG3641 againstG2596 theeG4771, becauseG3754 thou sufferestG1439 that womanG3588G1135 JezebelG2403, which callethG3004 herselfG1438 a prophetessG4398, to teachG1321 andG2532 to seduceG4105 myG1699 servantsG1401 to commit fornicationG4203, andG2532 to eatG5315 things sacrificed unto idolsG1494. 21AndG2532 I gaveG1325 herG846 spaceG5550 toG2443 repentG3340 ofG1537 herG846 fornicationG3588G4202; andG2532 she repentedG3340 notG3756. 22BeholdG3708, IG1473 will castG906 herG846 intoG1519 a bedG2825, andG2532 them that commit adulteryG3431 withG3326 herG846 intoG1519 greatG3173 tribulationG2347, exceptG1437 they repentG3340 ofG1537 theirG846 deedsG3588G2041. 23AndG2532 I will killG615 herG846 childrenG3588G5043 withG1722 deathG2288; andG2532 allG3956 the AssembliesG3588G1577 shall knowG1097 thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510 he which searchethG2045 the reinsG3510 andG2532 heartsG2588: andG2532 I will giveG1325 untoG4771 every one ofG1538 youG4771 according toG2596 yourG4771 worksG3588G2041. 24ButG1161 unto youG4771 I sayG3004, andG2532 unto the restG3062 inG1722 ThyatiraG2363, as many asG3745 haveG2192 notG3756 thisG3778 doctrineG3588G1322, andG2532 whichG3748 haveG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 the depthsG3588G899 of SatanG3588G4567, asG5613 they speakG3004; I will putG906 uponG1909 youG4771 noneG3756 otherG243 burdenG922. 25ButG4133 that whichG3739 ye haveG2192 already hold fastG2902 tillG891 I comeG2240. 26AndG2532 he that overcomethG3528, andG2532 keepethG5083 myG1473 worksG3588G2041 untoG891 the endG5056, to himG846 will I giveG1325 authorityG1849 overG1909 the nationsG3588G1484: 27AndG2532 he shall ruleG4165 themG846 withG1722 a rodG4464 of ironG4603; asG5613 the vesselsG3588G4632 of a potterG2764 shall they be broken to shiversG4937: even asG5613 IG2504 receivedG2983 ofG3844 myG1473 FatherG3588G3962. 28AndG2532 I will giveG1325 himG846 the morningG3588G4407 starG3588G792. 29He that hathG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG3588G4151 saithG3004 unto the AssembliesG3588G1577.
