14
But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.
15
Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
16
Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
17
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it." '

"And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write,'These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass:
19
I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.
20
Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
21
And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent.
22
Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.
23
I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
24
Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.
25
But hold fast what you have till I come.
26
And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations--
27
'He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels'-- as I also have received from My Father;
28
and I will give him the morning star.
29
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." '
