Rev 2:3   and you have perseverance and have endured for My name's sake, and have not grown weary.
Rev 2:4   'But I have {this} against you, that you have left your first love.

Rev 2:19   'I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first.
Rev 2:20   'But I have {this} against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit {acts of} immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
Rev 2:21   'I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality.
Rev 2:22   'Behold, I will throw her on a bed {of sickness,} and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.

Rev 2:24   'But I say to you, the rest who are in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they call them--I place no other burden on you.
Rev 2:25   'Nevertheless what you have, hold fast until I come.

Rev 2:27   AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received {authority} from My Father;
Rev 2:28   and I will give him the morning star.
Rev 2:29   'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'
