Revelation 2:12-25

12“And to the angel of the church in 1Pergamum write:

The One who has 2the sharp two-edged sword says this:

13‘I know where you dwell, where 3Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny 4My faith even in the days of Antipas, My 5witness, My 6faithful one, who was killed among you, 7where Satan dwells. 14But 8I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the 9teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, 10to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality. 15So you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the 11Nicolaitans. 16Therefore 12repent; or else 13I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with 14the sword of My mouth. 17 15He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 16To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden 17manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a 18new name written on the stone 19which no one knows but he who receives it.’

18“And to the angel of the church in 20Thyatira write:

21The Son of God, 22who has 23eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze, says this:

19‘24I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and 25perseverance, and that your 26deeds of late are greater than 27at first. 20But 28I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman 29Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they 30commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 31I gave her time to repent, and she 32does not want to repent of her immorality. 22Behold, I will throw her 33on a bed of sickness, and those who 34commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of 35her deeds. 23And I will kill her children with 36pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who 37searches the 38minds and hearts; and 39I will give to each one of you according to your deeds. 24But I say to you, the rest who are in 40Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the 41deep things of Satan, as they call them--I 42place no other burden on you. 25Nevertheless 43what you have, hold fast 44until I come.
