Revelation 2:20-29 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

20. But I have a few things against you. For you permit the woman Jezabel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants, to commit fornication and to eat the food of idolatry.

21. And I gave her a time, so that she might do penance, but she is not willing to repent from her fornication.

22. Behold, I will cast her onto a bed, and those who commit adultery with her shall be in a very great tribulation, unless they repent from their works.

23. And I will put her sons to death, and all the Churches shall know that I am the one who examines temperaments and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works. But I say to you,

24. and to the others who are at Thyatira: Whoever does not hold to this doctrine, and who has not 'known the depths of Satan,' as they say, I will not set any other weight upon you.

25. Even so, that which you have, hold on to it until I return.

26. And whoever will prevail and will observe my works even unto the end, I will give to him authority over the nations.

27. And he shall rule them with an iron rod, and they shall be broken like the earthenware of a potter.

28. The same I also have received from my Father. And I will give to him the morning star.

29. Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches."
