26And to the one who conquers and keeps my works until the end, I will give authority over the nations,

27and he will shepherd them with an iron rod, as clay vessels are shattered,

28just as I also have received from my Father, and I will give him the morning star.

29The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
