SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:18–29: Jesus spoke to the church at Thyatira

In this section, Jesus spoke to the people who believed in him at Thyatira. He saw that they had grown in their faith. Jesus warned them about allowing an immoral woman named Jezebel to remain among them. He encouraged the believers who had not followed Jezebel’s sinful teachings to remain faithful. Lastly, he gave a promise for any believer who persevered in his faith.

Translate this heading as you did for the other messages to the churches.

2:25

Nevertheless, hold fast to what you have until I come.

Nevertheless: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Nevertheless introduces something important.BDAG, πλὴν, 1.c, page 826. There is possible contrast to 2:24d here. Other ways to translate this Greek word are:

In any caseBDAG.

Only (NIV)

However (NET)

hold fast to what you have: The phrase what you have probably refers generally to Christ’s commands and teaching. It does not refer to earthly goods. Other ways to translate this clause are:

continue to follow me as you have been

you must hold firmly to the teaching you have (CEV)

continue in your loyalty (NCV)

until I come: This phrase refers to the second coming of Jesus. You may already have a usual way to refer to the second coming. If so, you may want to use it here. For example:

until I come again

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

πλὴν ὃ ἔχετε, κρατήσατε ἄχρι οὗ ἂν ἥξω

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Πλήν ὅ ἔχετε κρατήσατε ἄχρι οὗ ἄν ἥξω)

If you translated the beginning of this quotation in the previous verse as an indirect quotation so that there would not be a quotation within a quotation, you can also translate the end of the quotation here as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [except to hold on to what you have until I come]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃ ἔχετε, κρατήσατε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Πλήν ὅ ἔχετε κρατήσατε ἄχρι οὗ ἄν ἥξω)

By what you have, Jesus means implicitly the good things that the faithful believers in Thyatira have been doing. (See the discussion of the phrase “you have” in the General Notes to this chapter.) Alternate translation: [continue to do the good things that you are doing]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὃ ἔχετε, κρατήσατε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Πλήν ὅ ἔχετε κρατήσατε ἄχρι οὗ ἄν ἥξω)

Jesus is speaking as if he wants the believers in Pergamum literally to hold on to the good things that they have been doing. He means that he wants the believers to continue doing these things. Alternate translation: [continue to do the good things that you have been doing]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ἔχετε, κρατήσατε

˱you_all˲_˓are˒_having take_hold_of

Jesus is continuing to use the plural form of you as he speaks to the faithful believers in Thyatira in order to encourage them. You may consider using the plural form of “you” here if that would be natural in your language.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:18-29 The letter to the church in Thyatira confronts Christians who mix Christianity with pagan practices and a worldly lifestyle.
