Revelation 2:21 Context
19I know thy works, and charitie, and seruice, and faith, and thy patience, and thy workes, and the last to bee more then the first. 20Notwithstanding, I haue a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Iezebel, which calleth herselfe a Prophetesse, to teach and to seduce my seruants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed vnto idoles. 21And I gaue her space to repent of her fornication, and she repented not. 22Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her, into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23And I will kill her children with death, and all the Churches shall know that I am hee which searcheth the reines and hearts: and I will giue vnto euery one of you according to your workes.
