18. “To the angel of the church in Thyatira, write this:“‘The Son of God, whose eyes are like a fiery flame and whose feet are like polished brass, says this:
19. “I know your works, your love, faith, service, and endurance, and that your last works are greater than the first.
20. Yet I hold this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, who teaches and misleads my servants to play the harlot and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
21. I have given her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her harlotry.
22. So I will cast her on a sickbed and plunge those who commit adultery with her into intense suffering unless they repent of her works.
23. I will also put her children to death. Thus shall all the churches come to know that I am the searcher of hearts and minds and that I will give each of you what your works deserve.
