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 faith¹ even in the days of Antipas ^hmy faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But 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. 15 So also you have some who hold the teaching of ^lthe Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore repent. If not, ^mI will come to you soon and ⁿwar against them with ^ethe sword of my mouth. 17 ^cHe 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.’
