17. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows except he who receives it.
18. “To the angel of the church in Thyatira write:“The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like fine brass, says these things:
19. I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience, and that your last works are more than the first.
20. “But I have a few things against you: You permit that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat food sacrificed to idols.
21. I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, but she did not repent.
22. Look! I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.
23. I will put her children to death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the hearts and minds. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
24. “Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who have not known what some call the ‘depths of Satan,’ I will put on you no other burden.
25. But hold firmly what you have until I come.
26. “To him who overcomes and keeps My works to the end, I will give authority over the nations—
27. He ‘shall rule them with a rod of iron;like the vessels of a potter they shall be broken in pieces’—even as I myself have received authority from My Father.
28. And I will give him the morning star.
29. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
