And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Thyatira, write: - These things, saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like unto glowing copper:

I know thy works, and thy love, and faith, and ministry, and endurance, - and that, thy last works, are more than the first.

Nevertheless, I have against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, she who calleth herself a prophetess, and is teaching and leading astray my own servants to commit lewdness and to eat idol-sacrifices;

and I gave her time, that she might repent, and she willeth not to repent out of her lewdness.

Lo! I cast her into a bed, and them who are committing adultery with her, into great tribulation, - except they repent out of her works;

and, her children, will I slay with death; - and all the assemblies shall get to know, that, I, am he that searcheth reins and hearts, and will give unto you, each one, according to your works.

But, unto you, I say, - the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, such as have not come to know the deep things of Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden;

nevertheless, what ye have, hold fast, till I shall have come.

And, he that overcometh, and keepeth throughout my works, I will, give unto him, authority over the nations;

and he shall shepherd them with a sceptre of iron, - as, vessels of earthenware, are dashed in pieces: - as, I also, have received from my Father.

And I will give unto him the morning star.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies.
