Revelation 2:15-29
2:15 In the same way, there are also some among you who follow the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
2:16 Therefore,
repent! If not, I will come against you quickly and make war against those people
with the sword of my mouth.
2:17 The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers,
I will give him some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white
stone,
and on that stone will be written a new name that no one can understand
except the one who receives it.’
To the Church in Thyatira
2:18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira write the following:
“This is the solemn pronouncement of the Son of God, the one who has eyes like a fiery flame and whose feet are like polished bronze:
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.’
