was
my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
14
But I have a few things
against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to
cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit
fornication.
15
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
16
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my
mouth.
17
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that
overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone
a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth
it.
18
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.
20
Notwithstanding 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.
21
And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she
repented not.
22
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into
great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
23
And 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.
24
But 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.
25
But that which ye have
already
hold fast till I come.
26
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the
nations:
27
And 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.
28
And I will give him the morning star.
29
He that
hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
CHAPTER 3
And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits
of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
2
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found
thy works perfect before God.
3
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold
fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not
know what hour I will come upon thee.
4
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not
defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5
He that
overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the
book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6
He that hath an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
