And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 23 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 ihre Kinder will ich zu Tode schlagen. Und alle Gemeinden sollen erkennen, daß ich es bin, der die Nieren und Herzen erforscht; und ich werde geben einem jeglichen unter euch nach euren Werken.
Y mataré a sus hijos con muerte; y todas las iglesias sabrán que yo soy el que escudriño los riñones y los corazones: y daré a cada uno de vosotros según sus obras.
Heriré de muerte a sus hijos, y todas las iglesias sabrán que yo soy el que examina las mentes y los corazones. A cada uno de ustedes le daré según sus obras.
Je ferai mourir de mort ses enfants; et toutes les Eglises connaîtront que je suis celui qui sonde les reins et les coeurs, et je vous rendrai à chacun selon vos oeuvres.
E farò morir di morte i figliuoli di essa; e tutte le chiese conosceranno che io son quello che investigo le reni, ed i cuori, e renderò a ciascun di voi secondo le vostre opere.
E ferirei de morte a seus filhos, e todas as igrejas saberão que eu sou aquele que sonda os rins e os corações. E darei a cada um de vós segundo as vossas obras.
我又要殺死她的兒女,眾教會就知道,我是那察看人肺腑心腸的,我要照你們的行為報應各人。
