Revelation 2 — Context

And I will put her children to death; and all the churches will see that I am he who makes search into the secret thoughts and hearts of men: and I will give to every one of you the reward of your works.

But to you I say, to the rest in Thyatira, even to those who have not this teaching, and have no knowledge of the secrets of Satan, as they say; I put on you no other weight.

But what you have, keep safe till I come.

He who overcomes, and keeps my works to the end, to him I will give rule over the nations,

And he will be ruling them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of the potter they will be broken, even as I have power from my Father:

And I will give him the morning star.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
