Verse 26 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 wer da überwindet und hält meine Werke bis ans Ende, dem will ich Macht geben über die Heiden,
Y al que hubiere vencido, y hubiere guardado mis obras hasta el fin, yo le daré potestad sobre las gentes;
Al que venza y guarde mis obras hasta el fin le daré autoridad sobre las naciones;
A celui qui vaincra, et qui gardera jusqu'à la fin mes oeuvres, je donnerai autorité sur les nations.
Ed a chi vince, e guarda fino al fine le opere mie, io darò podestà sopra le nazioni;
E ao que vencer, e guardar até ao fim as minhas obras, eu lhe darei poder sobre as nações,
那得勝又遵守我命令到底的, 我要賜給他權柄制伏列國;
