¹⁰‘Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be ^atested, and you will have tribulation ^bfor ten days. ¹Be ^cfaithful until death, and I will give you ^dthe crown of life.

¹¹‘^aHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. ^bHe who overcomes will not be hurt by the ^csecond death.’

Message to Pergamum

¹²“And to the angel of the church in ^aPergamum write:

The One who has ^bthe sharp two-edged sword says this:

¹³‘I know where you dwell, where ^aSatan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny ^bMy faith even in the days of Antipas, My ^cwitness, My ^dfaithful one, who was killed among you, ^ewhere Satan dwells.

¹⁴‘But ^aI have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the ^bteaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, ^cto eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality.

¹⁵‘So you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the ^aNicolaitans.

¹⁶‘Therefore ^arepent; or else ^bI am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with ^cthe sword of My mouth.

¹⁷‘^aHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden ^bmanna, and I will give him a white stone, and a ^cnew name written on the stone ^dwhich no one knows but he who receives it.’

Message to Thyatira

¹⁸“And to the angel of the church in ^aThyatira write:

^bThe Son of God, ^cwho has ¹eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze, says this:

¹⁹‘^aI know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and ¹perseverance, and that your ²deeds of late are greater than ³at first.

²⁰‘But ^aI have this against you, that you tolerate the woman ^bJezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they ^ccommit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

²¹‘^aI gave her time to repent, and she ^bdoes not want to repent of her immorality.

²²‘Behold, I will throw her ¹on a bed of sickness, and those who ^acommit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of ²her deeds.
