Revelation 2:6-15

6But you have this, that you hate the deeds of the 1Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 72The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 3To the one who overcomes, I will grant to eat from 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 13slander by those who 14say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of 15Satan. 10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, so that you will be 16tested, and you will have tribulation 17for ten days. 18Be 19faithful until death, and I will give you 20the crown of life. 1121The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 22The one who overcomes will not be hurt by the 23second death.’

12“And to the angel of the church in 24Pergamum write:

The One who has 25the sharp two-edged sword says this:

13‘I know where you dwell, where 26Satan’s throne is; and you hold firmly to My name, and did not deny 27My faith even in the days of Antipas, My 28witness, My 29faithful one, who was killed among you, 30where Satan dwells. 14But 31I have a few things against you, because you have some there who hold the 32teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a 33stumbling block before the sons of Israel, 34to 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 35Nicolaitans.
