Revelation 2:12-17
New American Standard Bible
Message to Pergamum
12 “And to the angel of the church in (A)Pergamum write:
The One who has (B)the sharp two-edged sword says this:
13 ‘I know where you dwell, where (C)Satan’s throne is; and you hold firmly to My name, and did not deny (D)My faith even in the days of Antipas, My (E)witness, My (F)faithful one, who was killed among you, (G)where Satan dwells. 14 But (H)I have a few things against you, because you have some there who hold the (I)teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a [a]stumbling block before the sons of Israel, (J)to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality. 15 So you too, have some who in the same way hold to the teaching of the (K)Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore (L)repent; or else (M)I am coming to you quickly, and I will wage war against them with (N)the sword of My mouth. 17 (O)The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (P)To the one who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden (Q)manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a (R)new name written on the stone (S)which no one knows except the one who receives it.’

Revelation 2:12-17
English Standard Version
To the Church in Pergamum
12 “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘The words of him who has (A)the sharp two-edged sword.
13 “‘I know where you dwell, (B)where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not (C)deny my faith[a] even in the days of Antipas (D)my 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 (E)Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might (F)eat food sacrificed to idols and (G)practice sexual immorality. 15 So also you have some who hold the teaching of (H)the Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore repent. If not, (I)I will come to you soon and (J)war against them with (K)the sword of my mouth. 17 (L)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (M)To the one who conquers I will give some of (N)the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with (O)a new name written on the stone (P)that no one knows except the one who receives it.’
