This is the Word of the Lord.

To the angel of the church and Thytira write, these are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing

fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service

and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. Nevertheless, I have this

against you. You tolerate that woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a

prophet. By her teaching, she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food

sacrifice to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.

So I will cast her on a bed of suffering,

and I will make those who commit adultery with her

suffer intensely unless they repent of her ways.

I will strike her children dead.

Then all the churches will know that I am he who

searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you

according to your deeds. Now I say to the rest of you in Thyteria,

to you who do not hold to her teaching

and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets,

I will not impose any other burden on you,

except to hold on to what you have until I come.

To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end,

I will give authority over the nations.

That one will rule them with an iron scepter

and will dash them to pieces like pottery.
