17 (A)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (B)To the one who conquers I will give some of (C)the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with (D)a new name written on the stone (E)that no one knows except the one who receives it.’

To the Church in Thyatira

18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, (F)who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.

19 (G)“‘I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first. 20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman (H)Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants (I)to practice sexual immorality and (J)to eat food sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to repent, but (K)she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, 23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he (L)who searches mind and heart, and (M)I will give to each of you according to your works. 24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call (N)the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I (O)do not lay on you any other burden.
