Revelation 2:21

Revelation 2:21

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.

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.
