Revelation 2:18-29

[18] And  unto the angel  of the church  in  Thyatira  write;  These things  saith  the Son  of God,  who  hath  his  eyes  like  unto a flame  of fire,  and  his  feet  are like  fine brass;  [19] I know  works,  and  charity,  and  service,  and  faith,  and  patience,  and  works;  and  the last  to be more than  the first.  [20] Notwithstanding  I have  against  because  that woman  Jezebel,  which  calleth  herself  a prophetess,  to teach  and  to seduce  my  servants  to commit fornication,  and  to eat  things sacrificed unto idols.  [21] And  I gave  her  space  to  repent  of  her  fornication;  and  she repented  not.  [22] Behold,  will cast  her  into  a bed,  and  them that commit adultery  with  her  into  great  tribulation,  they repent  of  their  deeds.  [23] And  I will kill  her  children  with  death;  and  all  the churches  shall know  that  am  he which  searcheth  the reins  and  hearts:  and  I will give  unto every one  according to  works.  [24] But  I say,  unto the rest  in  Thyatira,  as many as  have  not  doctrine,  which  not  known  of Satan,  as  they speak;  I will put  upon  none  other  burden.  [25] But  that which  ye have  already hold fast  till  I come.  [26] And  he that overcometh,  and  keepeth  works  unto  the end,  to him  will I give  power  over  the nations:  [27] And  he shall rule  them  with  a rod  of iron;  as  the vessels  of a potter  shall they be broken to shivers:  as  received  of  Father.  [28] And  I will give  him  the morning  star.  [29] He that hath  an ear,  let him hear  what  the Spirit  saith  unto the churches.
