12“And to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in 1PergamumG4010 writeG1125:

The One who hasG2192 2the sharpG3691 two-edgedG1366 swordG4501 saysG3004 thisG3592:

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. 17 15He 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.’

18“And to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in 20ThyatiraG2363 writeG1125:

21The SonG5207 of GodG2316, 22who hasG2192 23eyesG3788 likeG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442, and His feetG4228 are likeG3664 burnishedG5474 bronzeG5474, saysG3004 thisG3592:

19‘24I knowG3609 your deedsG2041, and your loveG26 and faithG4102 and serviceG1248 and 25perseveranceG5281, and that your 26deedsG2041 of lateG2078 are greaterG4183 than 27at firstG4413. 20But 28I haveG2192 this againstG2596 you, that you tolerateG863 the womanG1135 29JezebelG2403, who callsG3004 herselfG1438 a prophetessG4398, and she teachesG1321 and leadsG4105 My bond-servantsG1401 astrayG4105 so that they 30commitG4203 acts of immoralityG4203 and eatG2068 thingsG1494 sacrificedG1494 to idolsG1494. 21 31I gaveG1325 her timeG5550 to repentG3340, and she 32does not wantG2309 to repentG3340 of her immoralityG4202. 22BeholdG2400, I will throwG906 her 33on a bedG2825 of sickness, and thoseG3588 who 34commitG3431 adulteryG3431 with her into greatG3173 tribulationG2347, unlessG1437 G3361 they repentG3340 of 35her deedsG2041. 23And I will killG615 her childrenG5043 with 36pestilenceG2288, and allG3956 the churchesG1577 will knowG1097 that I amG1510 He who 37searchesG2045 the 38mindsG3510 and heartsG2588; and 39I will giveG1325 to eachG1538 oneG1538 of you accordingG2596 to your deedsG2041. 24But I sayG3004 to you, the restG3062 who are in 40ThyatiraG2363, whoG3745 do not holdG2192 thisG3778 teachingG1322, whoG3748 have not knownG1097 the 41deepG901 thingsG901 of SatanG4567, as they callG3004 them--I 42placeG906 noG3756 otherG243 burdenG922 on you.
