Don’t Compromise Your Christianity – Revelation 2:12-17
2 (12) To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: This is what the one who has the sharp, double-edged sword says: (13) I know where you live—the place where Satan’s throne is located. Yet you remain true to my name and have not renounced your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my witness—my faithful one—who was put to death in your city, the place where Satan lives. (14) Nevertheless, I hold a few things against you, because you have some people there who adhere to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the children of Israel to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols and by committing sexual immorality. (15) Similar to that, you have some people who adhere to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. (16) Therefore, repent; or else I will come to you swiftly and wage war against them with the sword of my mouth. (17) He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.
