Revelation 2:6-15
6Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the 1Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 72He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 3To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of 4the tree of life which is in the 5Paradise of God.’
8“And to the angel of the church in 6Smyrna write:
7The first and the last, who 89was dead, and has come to life, says this:
9‘I know your 10tribulation and your 11poverty (but you are 12rich), and the blasphemy by those who 13say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of 14Satan. 10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be 15tested, and you will have tribulation 16for ten days. 17Be 18faithful until death, and I will give you 19the crown of life. 1120He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 21He who overcomes will not be hurt by the 22second death.’
12“And to the angel of the church in 23Pergamum write:
The One who has 24the sharp two-edged sword says this:
13‘I know where you dwell, where 25Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny 26My faith even in the days of Antipas, My 27witness, My 28faithful one, who was killed among you, 29where Satan dwells. 14But 30I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the 31teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, 32to 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 33Nicolaitans.
