12 'And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things saith he who is having the sharp two-edged sword:
13 I have known thy works, and where thou dost dwell -- where the throne of the Adversary 'is' -- and thou dost hold fast my name, and thou didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas 'was' my faithful witness, who was put to death beside you, where the Adversary doth dwell.
14 'But I have against thee a few things: That thou hast there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who did teach Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit whoredom;
15 so hast thou, even thou, those holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans -- which thing I hate.
16 'Reform! and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
