18 To the Angel of the Church of Thyatira write:
These are the Words of the Son of God,
Whose eyes are like Blazing Fire
And Whose Feet are like Burnished Bronze.
19 I Know your Deeds your Love and Faith,
Your Service and Perseverance,
And that you are now Doing More
Than you did at First.
20 Nevertheless,
I HAVE THIS AGAINST YOU:
You Tolerate that woman Jezebel,
Who calls herself a Prophet.
By her Teaching
She Misleads My Servants into Sexual Immorality,
And the Eating of Food Sacrificed to Idols.
21 I have given her Time to Repent
Of her Immorality,
BUT SHE IS UNWILLING.
22 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.
23 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.
24 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,
25 EXCEPT TO HOLD ON TO WHAT YOU HAVE
Until I Come.
26 TO THE ONE WHO IS VICTORIOUS
And does My Will to the End,
I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS--
THAT ONE WILL RULE THEM
With an Iron Scepter
And will Dash them to Pieces like Pottery--
Just as I have Received Authority from My Father.
28 I will also Give That One
THE MORNING STAR.
29 WHOEVER HAS EARS LET HIM HEAR
What the Spirit Says to the Churches.
(Revelation 2:18-29, NIV)
