18. And unto the angel of the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} in Thyatira write; These things, saith the Son of God, who has his eyes like unto a flame of fire and his feet like unto brilliant metal:
19. I have known thy works and charity and service and faith and thy patience and thy works and the last to be more than the first.
20. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel (who calls herself a prophetess) to teach and to seduce my slaves to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21. And I have given her time to repent of her fornication, and she repented not.
22. Behold, I will cast her into a bed and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation unless they repent of their deeds.
23. And I will kill her children with death, and all the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} shall know that I AM he that searches the kidneys and hearts, and I will give unto each one of you according to your works.
24. But unto you I say and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine and who have not known the depths of Satan (as they say); I will put upon you no other burden
25. But that which ye have already hold fast until I come.
26. And he that overcomes and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the Gentiles;
27. and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter they shall be broken to shivers, even as I received of my Father.
28. And I will give him the morning star.
29. He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}.
