Revelation 2:18-29
Revised Geneva Translation
18 “And to the angel of the Church which is at Thyatira write: ‘These things says the Son of God, Who has eyes like a flame of fire, and feet like fine brass.
19 ‘I know your works and your love, and service and faith, and your patience; and that the works of those at the last are more than those at the first.
20 ‘Notwithstanding, I have a few things against you: that you put up with the woman, Jezebel. She calls herself a prophetess; to teach and to deceive my servants, to make them commit fornication, and to eat meat sacrificed to idols.
21 ‘And I gave her space to repent of her fornication, and she did not repent.
22 ‘Behold, I will cast her into a bed - and those who commit fornication with her into great affliction - unless they repent of their works.
23 ‘And I will kill her children with death. And all the Churches shall know that I am He who searches the deepest motives and hearts. And I will give to every one of you according to your works.
24 ‘And to you I say, ‘The rest of them of Thyatira, as many as have not received this learning, nor have known the deepness of Satan (as they speak), I will put upon you no other burden.
25 But to that which you have already, hold fast till I come.
26 ‘For he who overcomes and keeps My words to the end, to him I will give power over nations.
27 ‘And he shall rule them with a rod of iron. And as the vessels of a potter, shall they be broken.
28 ‘Even as I received from My Father, so will I give him the Morning Star.
29 ‘Let he who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.’”

Revelation 2:18-29
New International Version
To the Church in Thyatira
18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira(A) write:
These are the words of the Son of God,(B) whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.(C) 19 I know your deeds,(D) 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,(E) who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.(F) 21 I have given her time(G) to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.(H) 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery(I) 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,(J) and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.(K)
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,(L) 25 except to hold on to what you have(M) until I come.’(N)
26 To the one who is victorious(O) and does my will to the end,(P) I will give authority over the nations(Q)— 27 that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter(R) and will dash them to pieces like pottery’[a](S)—just as I have received authority from my Father. 28 I will also give that one the morning star.(T) 29 Whoever has ears, let them hear(U) what the Spirit says to the churches.
