18. “And to the messenger of the assembly in Thyatira write, ‘This says the Son of Elohim, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like burnished brass:
19. “I know your works, and love, and service, and belief, and your endurance. And as for your works, the last are more than the first.
20. “But I hold against you that you allow that woman Izeḇel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and lead My servants astray to commit whoring and to eat food offered to idols.
21. “And I gave her time to repent of her whoring, and she did not repent.
22. “See, I am throwing her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great affliction, unless they repent of their works.
23. “And I shall slay her children with death. And all the assemblies shall know that I am the One searching the kidneys and hearts. And I shall give to each one of you according to your works.
24. “And to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not possess this teaching, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they call them, I am not putting on you another burden.
25. “But hold fast what you have until I come.
26. “And he who overcomes, and guards My works until the end, to him I shall give authority over the nations,
27. and he shall shepherd them with a rod of iron, as the potter’s vessels shall be broken to pieces, as I also have received from My Father.
28. “And I shall give him the morning star.
