14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit adultery. 15 And also you have those among you who hold to the teaching of the Nic-o-la’i-tanes. 16 Repent; or else I will come to you very soon, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To him who overcomes, I will give to eat of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knows except he who receives it. 18 And unto the angel of the church in Thya- ti’ra write: These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like unto a flame of fire, and whose feet are like fine brass from Lebanon; 19 I know your works, and love and faith, and service, and also your patience; and your last works are to be more abundant than the first. 20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you allowed that woman of yours Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent, but she did not repent from her fornication. 22 Behold I will cast her into a sick bed and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searches the reins and hearts: and I will give unto everyone of you according to your works. 24 But I say unto you, the rest of you in Thy-a-ti’ra, those of you who do not have this doctrine, and those who have not known, as they say, the depths of Satan, that I will not put upon you another burden. 25 But hold fast to that which you already have till I come. 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him I will give authority over the nations: 27 And he shall shepherd them with a rod of iron; like the vessels of the potter, they shall be shattered: even as I was disciplined by my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star. 29 He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
