Text -- Revelation 2:19-29 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
2:19 ‘I know your deeds : your love , faith , service , and steadfast endurance . In fact, your more recent deeds are greater than your earlier ones .
2:20 But I have this against you : You tolerate that woman Jezebel , who calls herself a prophetess , and by her teaching deceives my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols .
2:21 I have given her time to repent , but she is not willing to repent of her sexual immorality .
2:22 Look ! I am throwing her onto a bed of violent illness , and those who commit adultery with her into terrible suffering , unless they repent of her deeds .
2:23 Furthermore , I will strike her followers with a deadly disease , and then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts . I will repay each one of you what your deeds deserve.
2:24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira , all who do not hold to this teaching (who have not learned the so-called “deep secrets of Satan ”), to you I say : I do not put any additional burden on you .
2:25 However , hold on to what you have until I come .
2:26 And to the one who conquers and who continues in my deeds until the end , I will give him authority over the nations –
2:27 he will rule them with an iron rod and like clay jars he will break them to pieces,
2:28 just as I have received the right to rule from my Father– and I will give him the morning star .
2:29 The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches .’
