"To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: "The Son of God, the One whose eyes are like a fiery flame, and whose feet are like fine bronze says:
19
I know your works-your love, faithfulness, a service, and endurance. Your last works are greater than the first.
20
But I have this against you: you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and teaches and deceives My slaves to commit sexual immorality b and to eat meat sacrificed to idols.
21
I gave her time to repent, but she does not want to repent of her sexual immorality. c22
Look! I will throw her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her d practices.
23
I will kill her children with the plague. ef Then all the churches will know that I am the One who examines minds g and hearts, and I will give to each of you according to your works.
24
I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who haven't known the deep things h of Satan-as they say-I do not put any other burden on you.
25
But hold on to what you have until I come. i26
The victor and the one who keeps My works to the end: I will give him authority over the nations-
27
and He will shepherd j them with an iron scepter; He will shatter them like pottery k - just as I have received [this] from My Father.
28
I will also give him the morning star. l29
"Anyone who has an ear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.
