21. I gave her time to turn to me and change the way she thinks and acts, but she refuses to turn away from her sexual sins.
22. Watch me! I’m going to throw her into a sickbed. Those who commit sexual sins with her will also suffer a lot, unless they turn away from what she is doing.
23. I will kill her children. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches hearts and minds. I will reward each of you for what you have done.
24. But the rest of you in Thyatira—all who don’t hold on to Jezebel’s teaching, who haven’t learned what are called the deep things of Satan—I won’t burden you with anything else.
25. Just hold on to what you have until I come.
26. I have received authority from my Father. I will give authority over the nations to everyone who wins the victory and continues to do what I want until the end.
27. Those people will rule the nations with iron scepters and shatter them like pottery.
