- "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze, says this:
- 'I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first.
- 'But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
- 'I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality.
- 'Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.

- "To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.
- I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.
- Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
- I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.
- So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways.

- 'And I will kill her children with pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
- 'But I say to you, the rest who are in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they call them--I place no other burden on you.
- 'Nevertheless what you have, hold fast until I come.
- 'He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS;
- AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received authority from My Father;
|
- I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
- Now 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):
- Only hold on to what you have until I come.
- To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations--
- 'He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery'-- just as I have received authority from my Father.
|
- and I will give him the morning star.
- 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'
|
- I will also give him the morning star.
- He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
