Revelation 2:20 in Context — Revelation 2

18 Écris à l’ange de l’Église de Thyatire: Voici ce que dit le Fils de Dieu, celuiqui a les yeux comme une flamme de feu, et dont les pieds sont semblables à de l’airain ardent:

19 Je connais tes œuvres, ton amour, ta foi, ton fidèle service, ta constance, et tes dernières œuvres plus nombreuses que les premières.

20 Mais ce que j’ai contre toi, c’est que tu laisses la femmeJézabel, qui se dit prophétesse, enseigner et séduire mes serviteurs, pour qu’ils se livrent à l’impudicité et qu’ils mangent des viandes sacrifiées aux idoles.

21 Je lui ai donné du temps, afin qu’elle se repentît, et elle ne veut pas se repentir de son impudicité.

22 Voici je vais la jeter sur un lit, et envoyer une grande tribulation à ceux qui commettent adultère avec elle, à moins qu’ils ne se repentent de leurs œuvres.
