Revelation 2:18-3:6  New International Version

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.

These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits^[c](W) of God and the seven stars.^(X) I know your deeds;^(Y) you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.^{(Z) 2} Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. ³ Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent.^(AA) But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief,^(AB) and you will not know at what time^(AC) I will come to you.

⁴ Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes.^(AD) They will walk with me, dressed in white,^(AE) for they are worthy. ⁵ The one who is victorious^(AF) will, like them, be dressed in white.^(AG) I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life,^(AH) but will acknowledge that name before my Father^(AI) and his angels. ⁶ Whoever has ears, let them hear^(AJ) what the Spirit says to the churches.
