18. `And to the messenger of the assembly of Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who is having his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass;
19. I have known thy works, and love, and ministration, and faith, and thy endurance, and thy works--and the last [are] more than the first.
20. `But I have against thee a few things: That thou dost suffer the woman Jezebel, who is calling herself a prophetess, to teach, and to lead astray, my servants to commit whoredom, and idol-sacrifices to eat;
21. and I did give to her a time that she might reform from her whoredom, and she did not reform;
22. lo, I will cast her into a couch, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation--if they may not repent of their works,
23. and her children I will kill in death, and know shall all the assemblies that I am he who is searching reins and hearts; and I will give to you--to each--according to your works.
24. `And to you I say, and to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, and who did not know the depths of the Adversary, as they say; I will not put upon you other burden;
25. but that which ye have--hold ye, till I may come;
26. and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations,
27. and he shall rule them with a rod of iron--as the vessels of the potter they shall be broken--as I also have received from my Father;
28. and I will give to him the morning star.
29. He who is having an ear--let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.
