Revelation of John 2:18-29

To the Church in Thyatira

18And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, awho has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.

19 b“‘I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first. 20But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman cJezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants

eto practice sexual immorality and fto eat food sacrificed to idols.
21I gave her time to repent, but gshe refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. 22Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, 23and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he hwho searches mind and heart, and iI will give to each of you according to your works. 24But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call jthe deep things of Satan, to you I say, I kdo not lay on you any other burden. 25Only hold fast lwhat you have until I come. 26 mThe one who conquers and who keeps my works nuntil the end, oto him I will give authority over the nations, 27and phe will qrule them with a rod of iron, ras when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. 28And I will give him sthe morning star. 29 tHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
