Revelation 2:12-17

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 firmly to 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 some there who hold the 9teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a 10stumbling block before the sons of Israel, 11to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality. 15So you too, have some who in the same way hold to the teaching of the 12Nicolaitans. 16Therefore 13repent; or else 14I am coming to you quickly, and I will wage war against them with 15the sword of My mouth. 17 16The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 17To the one who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden 18manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a 19new name written on the stone 20which no one knows except the one who receives it.’
