And I gave her space to repent, and she willeth not 21 to repent of her fornication. Behold, I do cast her 22 into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of her deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every 24 one of you according to your works. works. But unto you I say, the rest that are in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, (how they speak!) I lay upon you no other burden. But that which ye have hold fast 25 till I come.
