⁶ But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans,^(A) which I also hate.

¹⁴ Nevertheless, I have a few things against you:^(A) There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam,^(B) who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols^(C) and committed sexual immorality.^{(D) 15} Likewise, you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.^{(E) 16} Repent^(F) therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.^(G)

²⁰ Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel,^(A) who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.^{(B) 21} I have given her time^(C) to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.^{(D) 22} So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery^(E) with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. ²³ I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds,^(F) and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.^(G)
