Other Translations - Revelation
2:18-29:
"Write this to the angel of the church in Thyatira: "The Son of God is saying these things. He is the One who has eyes that blaze
like fire and feet like shining brass. This is what he says [to you]: 19I know the things you do. I know about your love, your faith, your
service, and your patience. I know that you are doing more now than you did at
first. 20But I have this against you: You let that woman named Jezebel do what she
wants. She says that she is a prophet. But she is leading my people away with
her teaching. Jezebel leads my people to do sexual sins and to eat food that is
offered to idols. 21I have given her time to change her heart and turn away from her sin. But
she does not want to change. 22And so I will throw her on a bed [of suffering]. And all the people who do
the sin of adultery with her will suffer greatly. I will do this now if they
don't turn away from the things she does. 23I will also kill her followers. Then all the churches will know that I am
the One who knows what people feel and think. And I will repay each of you for
the things you have done. 24"But you other people in Thyatira have not followed her teaching. You have
not learned the things that they call Satan's (the devil's) deep secrets. This
is what I say to you: I will not put any other burden on you. 25 Only continue the way you are until I come.
26"I will give power to every person that wins the victory and continues
until the end to do the things I want. I will give that person power over the
nations: 27'He will rule them with an iron rod. He will break them to pieces like clay pots.'
(a quote from Psalm 2:9) 28This is the same power I received from my Father. I will also give that
person the morning star. 29Every person that hears these things should listen to what the Spirit says
to the churches. (ERV)
And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things saith the Son
of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like unto
burnished brass: 19I know thy works, and thy love and faith and ministry and patience, and that
thy last works are more than the first. 20But I have (this) against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, who
calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to
commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21And I gave her time that she should repent; and she willeth not to repent of
her fornication. 22Behold, I cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into
great tribulation, except they repent of her works. 23And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that
I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto each one of
you according to your works. 24But to you I say, to the rest that are in Thyatira, as many as have not this
teaching, who know not the deep things of Satan, as they are wont to say; I cast
upon you none other burden. 25Nevertheless that which ye have, hold fast till I come.
26And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works unto the end, to him
will I give authority over the nations: 27and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are
broken to shivers; as I also have received of my Father: 28and I will give him the morning star.
29He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
(ASV)
And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the
Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like
fine brass;
19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and
thy works; and the last to be more than the first. 20Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that
woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my
servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her
into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that
I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of
you according to your works. 24But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this
doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will
put upon you none other burden.
25But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. 26And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give
power over the nations: 27And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall
they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 28And I will give him the morning star.
29He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
