2:12 “To 1 the angel of the church in Pergamum write the following: 2
“This is the solemn pronouncement of 3 the one who has the sharp double-edged sword: 4 2:13 ‘I know 5 where you live – where Satan’s throne is. Yet 6 you continue to cling 7 to my name and you have not denied your 8 faith in me, 9 even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, 10 who was killed in your city 11 where Satan lives. 2:14 But I have a few things against you: You have some people there who follow the teaching of Balaam, 12 who instructed Balak to put a stumbling block 13 before the people 14 of Israel so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality. 15 2:15 In the same way, there are also some among you who follow the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 2:16 Therefore, 17 repent! If not, I will come against you quickly and make war against those people 18 with the sword of my mouth. 2:17 The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, 19 I will give him some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white 20 stone, 21 and on that stone will be written a new name that no one can understand 22 except the one who receives it.’
