16 Repent(A) therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.(B)

17 Whoever has ears, let them hear(C) what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious,(D) I will give some of the hidden manna.(E) I will also give that person a white stone with a new name(F) written on it, known only to the one who receives it.(G)

To the Church in Thyatira

18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira(H) write:

These are the words of the Son of God,(I) whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.(J) 19 I know your deeds,(K) 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,(L) who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.(M) 21 I have given her time(N) to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.(O) 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery(P) 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,(Q) and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.(R)

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,(S) 25 except to hold on to what you have(T) until I come.’(U)

26 To the one who is victorious(V) and does my will to the end,(W) I will give authority over the nations(X)

16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

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:
