12 “Write to the angel of the church in Pergamum:
“The One who has the sharp, double-edged sword says:
13 I know where you live—where Satan’s throne is! And you are
holding on to My name and did not deny your faith in Me, even in
the days of Antipas, My faithful witness who was killed among you,
where Satan lives.
14 But I have a few things against you. You have some there who
hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a
stumbling block in front of the Israelites: to eat meat sacrificed
to idols and to commit sexual immorality.
15 In the same way, you also have those who hold to the teaching of
the Nicolaitans.
16 Therefore repent! Otherwise, I will come to you quickly and
fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
17 “Anyone who has an ear should listen to what the Spirit says to
the churches. I will give the victor some of the hidden manna. I
will also give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name is
inscribed that no one knows except the one who receives it.
—Revelation 2:12-17
