Revelation 2:18-29

Revelation 2

Letter to the Church in Thyatira

¹⁸ To the messenger of the church in Thyatira write:

The Son of God, whose eyes are like fiery flames and whose feet are like polished bronze, says this:

¹⁹ I know your works and love and faith and service, as well as your patient endurance, and that you are doing more now than you did at first.

²⁰ But I have this against you: You allow that woman Jezebel, the one who calls herself a prophetess, to deceive my servants and to teach them to commit sexual immorality and eat things offered to idols. ²¹ I gave her time to repent, but she is not willing to repent of her sexual immorality. ²² Look, I am going to throw her onto a bed and throw those who commit adultery with her into great suffering, if they do not repent of her ^[1] works. ²³ And I will put her children to death. And all the churches will know that I am the one who searches hearts and minds, and that I will give to each of you according to your works.

²⁴ To the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold to this teaching, who do not know Satan’s “deep things,” as they call them, I say that I will not lay any other burden on you. ²⁵ Only hold fast to what you have until I come.

²⁶ To the one who is victorious and continues to do my works until the end, I will give him authority over the nations, ²⁷ and he will rule them with an iron staff and shatter them like clay pots, ²⁸ just as I myself have received authority from my Father. I will also give him the morning star.

²⁹ Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
