Revelation 2:21
Compare all
19 a“I know your works, love,1 service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.  
20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow2 that woman aJezebel, who calls herself a prophetess,3 to teach and seduce My servants bto commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.  
21 And I gave her time ato repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent.  
22 Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of1 their deeds.  
23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who asearches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.  
24 “Now to you I say,1 and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the adepths of Satan, as they say, bI will put on you no other burden.

Revelation 2:21

I gave her time (edwka auth xronon). First aorist active indicative of didwmi, allusion to a definite visit or message of warning to this woman.

That she should repent (ina metanohsh). Sub-final use of ina with first aorist active subjunctive of metanoew.

And she willeth not (kai ou qelei). "And she is not willing." Blunt and final like Matthew 23:37.

To repent of (metanohsai ek). First aorist (ingressive) active infinitive with ek, "to make a change out of," the usual construction with metanoew in this book (Revelation 2:22; Revelation 9:20 ff.; Revelation 16:11), with apo in Acts 8:22. Porneia (fornication) here, but moixeuw (to commit adultery) in verse Revelation 2:22.
