and to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword:

13

I know where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan's throne is and thou holdest fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwelleth.

14

But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there some that hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.

15

So hast thou also some that hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans in like manner.

16

Repent therefore or else I come to thee quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

17

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.
