21 I have given her time(A) to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.(B) 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery(C) 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,(D) and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.(E)

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,(F) 25 except to hold on to what you have(G) until I come.’(H)

26 To the one who is victorious(I) and does my will to the end,(J) I will give authority over the nations(K) 27 that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter(L) and will dash them to pieces like pottery’[a](M)—just as I have received authority from my Father.

  1. Revelation 2:27 Psalm 2:9

21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
