Revelation 2:18-29
Christian Standard Bible
The Letter to Thyatira
18 “Write to the angel of the church in Thyatira: Thus says the Son of God,(A) the one whose eyes are like a fiery flame and whose feet are like fine bronze:(B) 19 I know your works—your love, faithfulness,[a] service, and endurance.(C) I know that your last works are greater than the first. 20 But I have this against you: You tolerate the woman Jezebel,(D) who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and deceives my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat meat sacrificed to idols.(E) 21 I gave her time to repent,(F) but she does not want to repent of her sexual immorality.(G) 22 Look, I will throw her into a sickbed(H) and those who commit adultery with her(I) into great affliction.(J) Unless they repent of her[b] works, 23 I will strike her children dead.[c](K) Then all the churches will know that I am the one who examines minds and hearts,(L) and I will give to each of you according to your works.(M) 24 I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who haven’t known “the so-called secrets[d](N) of Satan”(O) —as they say—I am not putting any other burden on you.(P) 25 Only hold on to what you have until I come.(Q) 26 The one who conquers and who keeps my works to the end: I will give him authority over the nations—
28 just as I have received this from my Father. I will also give him the morning star.(T)
29 “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.

Christian Standard Bible
The Letter to Sardis
3 “Write to the angel[a] of the church in Sardis: Thus says the one who has the seven spirits of God(A) and the seven stars:(B) I know your works; (C) you have a reputation[b] for being alive, but you are dead.(D) 2 Be alert(E) and strengthen[c] what remains, which is about to die,[d] for I have not found your works complete before my God. 3 Remember, then, what you have received and heard; keep it, and repent. If you are not alert, I will come[e] like a thief, and you have no idea at what hour I will come upon you.(F) 4 But you have a few people[f] in Sardis who have not defiled[g] their clothes,(G) and they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
5 “In the same way, the one who conquers(H) will be dressed in white clothes,(I) and I will never erase his name from the book of life(J) but will acknowledge his name before my Father and before his angels.(K)
6 “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen(L) to what the Spirit says(M) to the churches.
