The one who holds the sharp two-edged sword says: ¹³I know where you live. Satan’s throne is there. You hold on to my name and have not denied your belief in me, even in the days of Antipas. He was my faithful witness who was killed in your presence, where Satan lives. ¹⁴But I have a few things against you: You have among you those who follow what Balaam taught Balak. Balak trapped the people of Israel by ⸤encouraging⸥ them to eat food sacrificed to idols and to sin sexually. ¹⁵You also have some who follow what the Nicolaitans teach. ¹⁶So return to me and change the way you think and act, or I will come to you quickly and wage war against them with the sword from my mouth.

¹⁷Let the person who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. I will give some of the hidden manna to everyone who wins the victory. I will also give each person a white stone with a new name written on it, a name that is known only to the person who receives it.
