2:18-29 The letter to the church in Thyatira confronts Christians who mix Christianity with pagan practices and a worldly lifestyle.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς
the children ˱of˲_her
The word children could mean: (1) literal children of Jezebel and the men who, as verse 22 describes, have been “committing adultery” with her. Alternate translation: “the children she has had with her adulterous lovers” (2) the disciples of Jezebel. (However, since Jesus says in the previous verse that he will cause these disciples to experience tribulation if they do not repent, it appears that Jesus is giving them the opportunity to repent, so it seems unlikely that he would immediately pronounce a death sentence against them here. Alternate translation: “her disciples”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἐραυνῶν νεφροὺς καὶ καρδίας
I am the_‹one› searching minds and hearts
Here, kidneys represent people’s thoughts and hearts represent their emotions. Alternate translation: “I am able to determine exactly what each person is thinking and feeling”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ὑμῖν & ὑμῶν
˱to˲_you_all & ˱of˲_you_all
The word you is plural in these instances. Jesus is speaking more directly to the believers in Thyatira in order to warn them that he is going to judge them imminently. You may consider using the plural form of “you” here if that would be natural in your language.
