12 “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘The words of him who has the sharp ^dtwo-edged sword.

13 “‘I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith¹ even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold ^ethe teaching of ^fBalaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to ^gidols and practice ^hsexual immorality. 15 So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them ⁱwith the sword of my mouth. 17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden ^jmanna, and I will give him a white stone, with a ^knew name written on the stone ^lthat no one knows except the one who receives it.’

18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, ^mwho has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like ⁿburnished bronze.

19 “‘I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first. 20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman ^oJezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to repent, but she ^prefuses to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and ^qthose who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, 23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who ^rsearches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works. 24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden. 25 Only ^shold fast what you have ^tuntil I come. 26 The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him ^uI will give ^vauthority over the nations, 27 and ^whe will rule² them ^xwith a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received ^yauthority from my Father. 28 And I will give him the ^zmorning star. 29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
