²⁸ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us, to put on you nothing more than these necessary things;

²⁴ But to you I say, to the rest in Thyatira, even to those who have not this teaching, and have no knowledge of the secrets of Satan, as they say; I put on you no other weight.

⁴⁰ But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God.

³² And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who keep his laws.

¹³ However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.

⁸ Whoever, then, goes against this word, goes against not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

⁸ And God, the searcher of hearts, was a witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit even as he did to us;

⁴ They make hard laws and put great weights on men's backs; but they themselves will not put a finger to them.

³⁰ For my yoke is good, and the weight I take up is not hard.
