ot repented. (22)Behold, I am about to cast her on a bed, and
those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they
repent of their deeds. (23)And I will slay her children by death; and
all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and
the hearts: and I will give to you, even to every one, according to
your works. (24)But to you I say, and to the rest that are at Thyatira,
as many as do not hold this doctrine, and who have not known the depths
of Satan, as they speak, I will lay upon them no other burden.
(25)Nevertheless that which you have, hold fast till I come. (26)And he
who overcometh, and perseveres in my works unto the end, to him will I
give authority over the nations; (27)he shall rule them with a rod of
iron; as a potter's vessels they shall be broken in pieces, even as I
have received authority from my Father: (28)and I will give him the
star of the morning. (29)He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.

white robes; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of
life, and 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.

(7)And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, These things
saith the Holy One, he that is true, who hath the key of David, who
openeth, and none shutteth, and shutteth, and no man openeth. (8)I know
thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can
shut it; because thou hast but little strength, yet hast thou kept my
word, and hast not denied my name. (9)Behold, I give thee out of
Satan's synagogue those who say they are Jews, yet
