20. Yet I hold this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, who teaches and misleads my servants to play the harlot and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
21. I have given her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her harlotry.
22. So I will cast her on a sickbed and plunge those who commit adultery with her into intense suffering unless they repent of her works.
23. I will also put her children to death. Thus shall all the churches come to know that I am the searcher of hearts and minds and that I will give each of you what your works deserve.
24. But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not uphold this teaching and know nothing of the so-called deep secrets of Satan: on you I will place no further burden,
25. except that you must hold fast to what you have until I come.
26. “‘“To the victor, who keeps to my ways until the end,I will give authority over the nations.
27. He will rule them with an iron rod.Like clay vessels will they be smashed,
28. just as I received authority from my Father. And to him I will give the morning star.
29. “‘“Whoever has ears ought to hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’
