14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of (A)Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, (B)to eat things sacrificed to idols, (C)and to commit sexual immorality. 15 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, [a]which thing I hate. 16 Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and (D)will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.

14 But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat [of] idol sacrifices and commit fornication.
15 So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner.
16 Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth.
