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.
17 He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving 'it'.
