To the Church in Thyatira

Revelation 2

¹⁸ "And to the ₁ angel of the church in Thyatira write,
'These things says the Son of God, _a who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass:

¹⁹ _b "I know your works, love, ₂ service, faith, and your ₃ patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. ²⁰ "Nevertheless I have ₄ a few things against you, because you allow ₅ that woman _c Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, ₆ to teach and seduce My servants _d to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. ²¹ "And I gave her time _e to ₇ repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. ²² "Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of ₈ their deeds. ²³ "I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who _f searches ₉ the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works. ²⁴ "Now to you I say, ₁₀ and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the _g depths of Satan, as they say, _h I ₁₁ will put on you no other burden. ²⁵ "But hold fast _i what you have till I come. ²⁶ "And he who overcomes, and keeps _j My works until the end, _k to him I will give power over the nations - ²⁷ 'He _l shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels' ₁₂ -
as I also have received from My Father; ²⁸ "and I will give him _m the morning star. ²⁹ "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." '
