| 2:3 | and you have persevered and have endurance, and have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary." |
| 2:4 | But I have this against you, that you have left your first love." |
| 2:5 | Remember therefore from where you have fallen; and repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you suddenly and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent." |
| 2:6 | But you have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate." |

| 2:9 | "I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." |
| 2:10 | Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will all have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life." |

| 2:16 | Repent, or else I will come to you suddenly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth." |
| 2:17 | "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the hidden manna. 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."' |
| 2:18 | "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 are like fine brass:" |
| 2:19 | "I know your works, love, service, faith, and your endurance; and your works, and the last to be more than the first." |

| 2:21 | And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent." |
| 2:22 | Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds." |
| 2:23 | I will kill her children with death, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works." |
| 2:24 | "Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, and who have not known, as they say, the depths of Satan, I will put on you no other burden." |
| 2:25 | But what you already have, hold firmly until I come." |
| 2:26 | And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations:" |
| 2:27 | 'He will rule them with a rod of iron; they will be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels' just as I have received from My Father;" |
| 2:28 | and I will give him the morning star." |
| 2:29 | "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."' |
