20 But I have this against you: you put up with that woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. You allow her to teach and to mislead my servants into committing sexual immorality and eating food sacrificed to idols.
21 I gave her time to change her heart and life, but she refuses to change her life of prostitution.
22 Look! I’m throwing her onto a sickbed. I am casting those who have committed adultery with her into terrible hardship—if they don’t change their hearts from following her practices—
23 and I will even put her children to death with disease. Then all the churches will know that I’m the one who examines minds and hearts, and that I will give to each of you what your actions deserve.
24 As for the rest of you in Thyatira—those of you who don’t follow this teaching and haven’t learned the so-called "deep secrets" of Satan—I won’t burden you with anything else.
25 Just hold on to what you have until I come.
26 To those who emerge victorious, keeping my practices until the end, I will give authority over the nations—
