Revelation 2 — Context

19

"I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.

20

But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

21

I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.

22

Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.

23

I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

24

But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as don't have this teaching, who don't know what some call 'the deep things of Satan,' to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.

25

Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.
