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)
