002:016 Repent, at once; or else I will come to you quickly, and will
make war upon them with the sword which is in My mouth.
002:017 "'Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. He who overcomes—to him I will give some of the hidden Manna, and a white stone; and—written upon the stone and known only to him who receives it—a new name.'
002:018 "To the minister of the Church at Thyateira write as follows:
"'This is what the Son of God says—He who has eyes like a flame
of fire, and feet resembling silver-bronze.
002:019 I know your doings, your love, your faith, your service,
and your patient endurance; and that of late you have toiled
harder than you did at first.
002:020 Yet I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and by her teaching leads astray My servants, so that they commit fornication and eat what has been sacrificed to idols.
002:021 I have given her time to repent, but she is determined not to repent of her fornication.
002:022 I tell you that I am about to cast her upon a bed of sickness, and I will severely afflict those who commit adultery with her, unless they repent of conduct such as hers.
002:023 Her children too shall surely die; and all the Churches shall come
to know that I am He who searches into men's inmost thoughts;
and to each of you I will give a requital which shall be
in accordance with what your conduct has been.
002:024 But to you, the rest of you in Thyateira, all who do not
hold this teaching and are not the people who have learnt
the "deep things," as they call them (the deep things of Satan!)—
to you I say that I lay no other burden on you.
002:025 Only that which you already possess, cling to until I come.
