14. I do have a few things against you. Some of you are following the teaching of Balaam. Long ago he told Balak to teach the people of Israel to eat food that had been offered to idols and to be immoral.
15. Now some of you are following the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16. Turn back! If you don't, I will come quickly and fight against these people. And my words will cut like a sword.
17. If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To everyone who wins the victory, I will give some of the hidden food. I will also give each one a white stone with a new name written on it. No one will know that name except the one who is given the stone.
18. This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Thyatira:I am the Son of God! My eyes are like flames of fire, and my feet are like bronze. Listen to what I say.
19. I know everything about you, including your love, your faith, your service, and how you have endured. I know that you are doing more now than you have ever done before.
20. But I still have something against you because of that woman Jezebel. She calls herself a prophet, and you let her teach and mislead my servants to do immoral things and to eat food offered to idols.
