I know thy works, and thy toil, and thy perseverance, and that thou cannot tolerate evil, and thou examined those who say themselves to be apostles, and are not, and found them false.
3 and endurest, and hast borne for my name's sake, and hast not wearied:
And thou have perseverance. And thou endured because of my name, and did not become weary.
4 but I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
Nevertheless, I have against thee because thou left thy first love.
5 Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent.
Remember therefore from where thou have fallen, and repent and do the first works. And if not, I come to thee quickly, and will move thy lampstand out of its place, if thou do not repent.

I know thy works and tribulation and poverty (but thou are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say themselves to be Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

I know thy works, and where thou dwell, where Satan's throne is. And thou hold firm my name, and did not deny my faith in the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was killed among you where Satan dwells.

So also thou have men who likewise adhere to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

Nevertheless, I have against thee that thou tolerate thy woman Jezebel. She calls herself a prophetess, and teaches and leads astray my bondmen to fornicate, and to eat idol sacrifices.
21 And I gave her time that she should repent, and she will not repent of her fornication.
And I gave her time so that she would repent, and she did not want to repent of her fornication.
22 Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,
Behold, I throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, if they do not repent of her works.
23 and her children will I kill with death; and all the assemblies shall know that I am he that searches [the] reins and [the] hearts; and I will give to you each according to your works.

But I say to you, to those remaining in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who do not know, as they say, the deep things of Satan, I do not cast upon you another burden.

And he who overcomes, and he who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
27 and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; as vessels of pottery are they broken in pieces, as I also have received from my Father;
And he will tend them with a rod of iron (they will be shattered like ceramic vessels), as I also have received from my Father.
28 and I will give to him the morning star.
