18"To the angel of the church in Thyatira1 write: These are the words of the Son of God,2 whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.319I know your deeds,4 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,5 who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.621I have given her time7 to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.822So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery9 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,10 and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.1124Now 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):1225Only hold on to what you have13 until I come.1426To him who overcomes15 and does my will to the end,16 I will give authority over the nations17--27'He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery18 -- just as I have received authority from my Father.28I will also give him the morning star.19
