[2:18] “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.
[2:19] “‘I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first.
[2:20] But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
[2:21] I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
[2:22] Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,
[2:23] and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works.
[2:24] But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden.
[2:25] Only hold fast what you have until I come.
[2:26] The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations,
[2:27] and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father.
[2:28] And I will give him the morning star.
[2:29] He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
