22. Look! I’m throwing her onto a sickbed. I am casting those who have committed adultery with her into terrible hardship—if they don’t change their hearts from following her practices—
23. and I will even put her children to death with disease. Then all the churches will know that I’m the one who examines minds and hearts, and that I will give to each of you what your actions deserve.
24. As for the rest of you in Thyatira—those of you who don’t follow this teaching and haven’t learned the so-called "deep secrets" of Satan—I won’t burden you with anything else.
25. Just hold on to what you have until I come.
26. To those who emerge victorious, keeping my practices until the end, I will give authority over the nations—
27. to rule the nations with an iron rod and smash them like pottery—
28. just as I received authority from my Father. I will also give them the morning star.
29. If you can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
