saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last; and, What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

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 like fine brass:

Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and lead astray My servants to prostitute themselves to sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

Indeed I will cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great affliction, unless they repent of their deeds.

Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.

So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of high office under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to do homage,

a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.

And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justus, one who revered God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to do homage at the feast.

And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

Your people shall be volunteers in the day of Your power; in the splendor of holiness, from the womb of the dawn, You have the dew of Your youth.

My beloved put his hand by the latch of the door, and my heart yearned for him.

The Lord Jehovah has opened My ear, and I was not rebellious, nor turned away backwards.

And He opened their mind to understand the Scriptures.

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

It is written in the Prophets, And they shall all be taught by God. Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God made it grow.

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who causes growth.

But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Covenant, which is being done away in Christ.

Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, so that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine on them.

For it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full true knowledge of Him,

the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

Do not be led astray, my beloved brethren.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of Lights, with whom there is no change or shadow of turning.

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, These things says He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens:

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
