21 I gave her time to repent, but she does not want to repent of her sexual immorality.[a] 22 Look! I will throw her into a sickbed and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her[b] practices. 23 I will kill her children with the plague.[c](A) Then all the churches will know that I am the One who examines minds[d] and hearts, and I will give to each of you according to your works. 24 I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who haven’t known the deep things[e] of Satan—as they say—I do not put any other burden on you. 25 But hold on to what you have until I come.(B) 26 The one who is victorious and keeps My works to the end: I will give him authority over the nations—

27 and he will shepherd[f](C) them with an iron scepter;
he will shatter them like pottery(D)[g]

just as I have received this from My Father.
