Revelation 2:23-25
New English Translation
23 Furthermore, I will strike her followers[a] with a deadly disease,[b] and then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts. I will repay[c] each one of you[d] what your deeds deserve.[e] 24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, all who do not hold to this teaching[f] (who have not learned the so-called “deep secrets[g] of Satan”), to you I say: I do not put any additional burden on you. 25 However, hold on to what you have until I come.
