Revelation 2:18–29

The Letter to Thyatira

¹⁸“Write to the angel of the church in Thyatira:

“The Son of God, ^fthe One whose eyes are like a fiery flame and whose feet are like fine bronze, ^ghsays: ¹⁹I know your works—your love, faithfulness, ⁱservice, and endurance. ^jYour last works are greater than the first. ²⁰But I have this against you: You tolerate the woman Jezebel, ^kwho calls herself a prophetess and teaches and deceives My ^•slaves to commit sexual immorality ^land to eat meat sacrificed to idols. ^m21I gave her time to repent, ⁿbut she does not want to repent of her sexual immorality. ^op22Look! I will throw her into a sickbed ^qand those who commit adultery with her ^rinto great tribulation, ^sunless they repent of her ^tpractices. ²³I will kill her children with the plague. ^uvThen all the churches will know that I am the One who examines minds ^wand hearts, ^xand I will give to each of you according to your works. ^y24I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who haven’t known the deep things ^zaof Satan ^b—as they say—I do not put any other burden on you. ^c25But hold on to what you have until I come. ^d26The one who is victorious and keeps My works to the end: I will give him authority over the nations—

²⁷and he will shepherd ^efthem with an iron scepter;

he will shatter them like pottery ^gh—

just as I have received this from My Father. ²⁸I will also give him the morning star. ⁱ

²⁹“Anyone who has an ear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.
