Revelation 2:24-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not uphold this teaching and know nothing of the so-called deep secrets of Satan:[a] on you I will place no further burden, 25 except that you must hold fast to what you have until I come.
26 “‘“To the victor,[b] who keeps to my ways[c] until the end,
I will give authority over the nations.(A)
Footnotes
- 2:24 The so-called deep secrets of Satan: literally, “the deep things of Satan,” a scathing reference to the perverse teaching of the Nicolaitans (Rev 2:15).
- 2:26–28 The Christian who perseveres in faith will share in Christ’s messianic authority (cf. Ps 2:8–9) and resurrection victory over death, symbolized by the morning star; cf. Rev 22:16.
- 2:26 Who keeps to my ways: literally, “who keeps my works.”
