Revelation 2:18–29

To the Church in Thyatira

¹⁸“To the angel of the church in Thyatira^h write:

These are the words of the Son of God,ⁱ whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.^{j 19}I know your deeds,^k your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.

²⁰Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel,^l who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.^{m 21}I have given her timeⁿ to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.^{o 22}So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery^p with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. ²³I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds,^q and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.^r

²⁴Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, ‘I will not impose any other burden on you,^{s 25}except to hold on to what you have^t until I come.’^u

²⁶To the one who is victorious^v and does my will to the end,^w I will give authority over the nations^x—²⁷that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter^y and will dash them to pieces like pottery’^bz—just as I have received authority from my Father. ²⁸I will also give that one the morning star.^{a 29}Whoever has ears, let them hear^b what the Spirit says to the churches.
