And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 2 of Revelation. The message to Thyatira highlights works, love, service, and perseverance, but condemns tolerance toward a figure symbolically called Jezebel who leads Christ’s servants into immorality and participation in food sacrificed to idols. The image recalls the confrontation between Elijah and Jezebel, but it is applied to a situation within the church. Christ appears with eyes like a flame of fire and feet like burnished bronze, emphasizing his ability to examine and judge. The faithful are told to hold firmly to what they have until Christ comes, and they are promised participation in his authority over the nations.

Und ich habe ihr Zeit gegeben, daß sie sollte Buße tun für ihre Hurerei; und sie tut nicht Buße.
Y le he dado tiempo para que se arrepienta de la fornicación; y no se ha arrepentido.
Le di tiempo para que se arrepintiera, pero no quiere arrepentirse de su inmoralidad sexual.
Je lui ai donné du temps, afin qu'elle se repentît, et elle ne veut pas se repentir de son impudicité.
Ed io le ho dato tempo da ravvedersi della sua fornicazione; ma ella non si è ravveduta.
E dei-lhe tempo para que se arrependesse da sua prostituição; e não se arrependeu.
我曾給她悔改的機會,她卻不肯悔改她的淫行。
