13‘I knowG3609 whereG4226 you dwellG2730, whereG3699 3Satan’sG4567 throneG2362 is; and you holdG2902 fastG2902 My nameG3686, and did not denyG720 4My faithG4102 evenG2532 in the daysG2250 of AntipasG493, My 5witnessG3144, My 6faithfulG4103 oneG4103, whoG3739 was killedG615 amongG3844 you, 7whereG3699 SatanG4567 dwellsG2730. 14But 8I haveG2192 a fewG3641 thingsG3641 againstG2596 you, becauseG3754 you haveG2192 thereG1563 some who holdG2902 the 9teachingG1322 of BalaamG903, whoG3739 kept teachingG1321 BalakG904 to putG906 a stumblingG4625 blockG4625 beforeG1799 the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474, 10to eatG2068 thingsG1494 sacrificedG1494 to idolsG1494 and to commitG4203 acts of immoralityG4203. 15SoG3779 you alsoG2532 haveG2192 some who in the sameG3668 wayG3668 holdG2902 the teachingG1322 of the 11NicolaitansG3531. 16ThereforeG3767 12repentG3340; orG1161 elseG1490 13I am comingG2064 to you quicklyG5035, and I will makeG4170 warG4170 againstG3326 them with 14the swordG4501 of My mouthG4750. 1715He who hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the churchesG1577. 16To him who overcomesG3528, to him I will giveG1325 some of the hiddenG2928 17mannaG3131, and I will giveG1325 him a whiteG3022 stoneG5586, and a 18newG2537 nameG3686 writtenG1125 on the stoneG5586 19whichG3739 noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG3609 but he who receivesG2983 it.’
