Revelation 2:12-17

The Voice

¹² Write down My words, and send them to the messenger of the church in Pergamum. “These are the words of the One with the sharp double-edged sword:

¹³ “I know [your deeds and]^[a] where you live. It is where Satan, the adversary, has established his throne. You have stayed true to My name, and you did not deny your trust in Me even in the eventful days of My faithful witness, Antipas. He was killed among you in that place where Satan dwells.

¹⁴ “However, I have a few matters against you: some who live among you hold to the teaching of Balaam, who instructed Balak to set up a stumbling block before the people of Israel.^[b] As a result, some among you are eating food prepared for idol worship and committing immoral sexual acts. ¹⁵ You have others who are holding firm to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. ¹⁶ Therefore, change your ways and turn to Me.^[c] If you do not, I will quickly come to where you live and will battle them with the sword of My mouth.

¹⁷ “Let the person who is able to hear, listen to and follow what the Spirit proclaims to all the churches. To the one who conquers through faithfulness even unto death, I will feed you with hidden manna and give you a white stone. Upon this stone, a new name is engraved. No one knows this name except for its recipient.”
