some
who
hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise

To the angel of the assembly
in Thyatira write: "
The Son of God, who
has
his
eyes like a flame
of
fire ,
and his
feet are like burnished
brass,
says
these
things:
To the angel of the church
in Thyatira write: These
are
the words
of
the
Son of God, whose
eyes are
like a blazing
fire and whose
feet are like polished
bronze.
I know your works,
your love, faith, service, patient
endurance,
and that
your last
works
are more
than the
first.
I know your deeds—
your love, your
faith, your
service, your
perseverance—
and your latter
deeds
are greater
than your
first.
But I have this against you ,
that
you tolerate your
woman ,
Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches
and
seduces
my servants to commit
sexual
immorality,
and to eat things
sacrificed to idols.
But I have this against you :
You tolerate that
woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By
her
teaching
she misleads
My servants to be
sexually
immoral
and to eat food
sacrificed to idols.
I gave
her time to repent ,
but
she
refuses
to
repent
of her sexual
immorality.
Even
though
I have
given
her time to repent of her immorality ,
she
is
unwilling
.
Behold, I will throw
her into
a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into
great oppression,
unless they repent of her works
.
Behold, I will cast
her onto
a bed of
sickness
, and those who commit adultery with her will
suffer
great tribulation
unless they repent of her deeds
.
I will kill
her children with
Death
, and all the assemblies
will know that I am he
who searches the
minds and hearts .
I will give
to
each one
of you according to your deeds.
Then
I will strike
her children dead
, and all the churches
will know that I am the
One
who searches minds and hearts ,
and
I will repay
each of you according to your deeds.
But to
you
I say ,
to the rest who
are
in Thyatira, as
many
as
don't
have
this
teaching,
who don't
know
what
some
call
'
the deep things of Satan ,'
to
you
I
say,
I am
not
putting
any
other
burden on
you.
But I say to the rest of
you
in Thyatira, who do
not
hold
to
her
teaching
and
have
not
learned
the so-called
deep things of Satan :
I will
place
no
further
burden upon
you.
Nevertheless, hold firmly
that
which
you have ,
until I come.
Nevertheless, hold fast
to
what
you have until I come.
He
who overcomes ,
and he
who
keeps
my works
to
the end, to
him
I will give authority over the nations.
And
to
the
one
who overcomes and continues
in
My work
until
the end, I will give authority over the nations.
He will rule them with a
rod
of
iron ,
shattering
them like clay
pots;
as I also
have received of
my Father :
He will rule them with an
iron scepter
and
shatter
them like pottery
—just
as I have received authority
from
My Father .
and I will give him the morning star.
And I will give him the morning star.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies
.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches
.
