Revelation 2:18-29

WNT(i) 18 "To the minister of the Church at Thyateira write as follows: "'This is what the Son of God says--He who has eyes like a flame of fire, and feet resembling silver-bronze. 19 I know your doings, your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance; and that of late you have toiled harder than you did at first. 20 Yet I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and by her teaching leads astray My servants, so that they commit fornication and eat what has been sacrificed to idols. 21 I have given her time to repent, but she is determined not to repent of her fornication. 22 I tell you that I am about to cast her upon a bed of sickness, and I will severely afflict those who commit adultery with her, unless they repent of conduct such as hers. 23 Her children too shall surely die; and all the Churches shall come to know that I am He who searches into men's inmost thoughts; and to each of you I will give a requital which shall be in accordance with what your conduct has been. 24 But to you, the rest of you in Thyateira, all who do not hold this teaching and are not the people who have learnt the "deep things," as they call them (the deep things of Satan!) --to you I say that I lay no other burden on you. 25 Only that which you already possess, cling to until I come. 26 "'And to him who overcomes and obeys My commands to the very end, I will give authority over the nations of the earth. 27 And he shall be their shepherd, ruling them with a rod of iron, just as earthenware jars are broken to pieces; and his power over them shall be like that which I Myself have received from My Father; 28 and I will give him the Morning Star. 29 Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'
