15. So hast thou also those that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which I hate.
16. Repent, or else I will come unto thee quickly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17. He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}; To him that overcomes I will give to eat of the hidden manna and will give him a small white stone and in the stone a new name written, which no one knows except the one that receives it.
18. And unto the angel of the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} in Thyatira write; These things, saith the Son of God, who has his eyes like unto a flame of fire and his feet like unto brilliant metal:
19. I have known thy works and charity and service and faith and thy patience and thy works and the last to be more than the first.
20. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel (who calls herself a prophetess) to teach and to seduce my slaves to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21. And I have given her time to repent of her fornication, and she repented not.
22. Behold, I will cast her into a bed and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation unless they repent of their deeds.
23. And I will kill her children with death, and all the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} shall know that I AM he that searches the kidneys and hearts, and I will give unto each one of you according to your works.
24. But unto you I say and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine and who have not known the depths of Satan (as they say); I will put upon you no other burden
25. But that which ye have already hold fast until I come.
26. And he that overcomes and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the Gentiles;
