Revelation 2:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 Repent thyself, or else I will come unto thee shortly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 [a]Let him that hath an ear, hear what the spirit saith unto the Churches. To him that overcometh, will I give to eat [b]of the [c]Manna that is hid, and will give him a [d][e]white stone, and in the stone a new [f]name written, which no man knoweth, saving he that receiveth it.
18 ¶ And unto [g]the Angel of the Church which is at Thyatira write, These things saith the Son of God, which hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass.
