Revelation 2:18–29

THE LETTER TO THYATIRA

¹⁸“Write to the angel of the church in Thyatira: Thus says the Son of God,^y the one whose eyes are like a fiery flame and whose feet are like fine bronze:^{z 19}I know your works—your love, faithfulness,^D service, and endurance.^aa I know that your last works are greater than the first. ²⁰But I have this against you: You tolerate the woman Jezebel,^ab who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and deceives my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat meat sacrificed to idols.^{ac 21}I gave her time to repent,^ad but she does not want to repent of her sexual immorality.^{ae 22}Look, I will throw her into a sickbed^af and those who commit adultery with her^ag into great affliction.^ah Unless they repent of her^E works, ²³I will strike her children dead.^Fai Then all the churches will know that I am the one who examines minds and hearts,^aj and I will give to each of you according to your works.^{ak 24}I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who haven’t known “the so-called secrets^Gal of Satan”^am—as they say—I am not putting any other burden on you.^{an 25}Only hold on to what you have until I come.^{ao 26}The one who conquers and who keeps my works to the end: I will give him authority over the nations—

²⁷and he will rule^Hap them with an iron scepter;

he will shatter them like pottery^Iaq—

²⁸just as I have received this from my Father. I will also give him the morning star.^ar
