"And to the angel of the church in Pergamos

write; these

things saith

he which

hath the

sharp sword

with two

edges; I know

thy works,

and where thou dwellest even where Satan's

seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and

has not denied my faith, even in those days

wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who

was slain among you where Satan dwelleth.

But I have a few things against thee, because

thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of

Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbl-

ingblock before the children of Israel, to eat

things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit

fornication.

So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine

of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

Repent; or I will come unto thee quickly, and

will fight against them with the sword of my

mouth. He that hath an ear, let him hear what

the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that

overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden

manna, and will give him a white stone, and

in the stone a new name written, which no

man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."

Revelation 2:12-17
