To the Church in Pergamum

¹²“And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘The words of him who has ethe sharp two-edged sword.

¹³“‘I know where you dwell, fwhere Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not gdeny my faith2 even in the days of Antipas hmy faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. ¹⁴But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of iBalaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might jeat food sacrificed to idols and kpractice sexual immorality. ¹⁵So also you have some who hold the teaching of lthe Nicolaitans. ¹⁶Therefore repent. If not, mI will come to you soon and nwar against them with ethe sword of my mouth. ¹⁷cHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. cTo the one who conquers I will give some of othe hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with pa new name written on the stone qthat no one knows except the one who receives it.’
