20. “But I have this against you: You let that woman Jezebel spread false teachings. She says she is a prophetess, but by her teaching she leads my people to take part in sexual sins and to eat food that is offered to idols.
21. I have given her time to change her heart and turn away from her sin, but she does not want to change.
22. So I will throw her on a bed of suffering. And all those who take part in adultery with her will suffer greatly if they do not turn away from the wrongs she does.
23. I will also kill her followers. Then all the churches will know I am the One who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you for what you have done.
24. “But others of you in Thyatira have not followed her teaching and have not learned what some call Satan’s deep secrets. I say to you that I will not put any other load on you.
25. Only continue in your loyalty until I come.
26. “I will give power over the nations to everyone who wins the victory and continues to be obedient to me until the end.
27. ‘You will rule over them with an iron rod,as when pottery is broken into pieces.’
