where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to
my name. You did not renounce your faith in
me, not even in the days of Antipas, my faithful
witness, who was put to death in your city—where
Satan lives.

Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: There
are some among you who hold to the teaching of
Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin
so that they ate food sacrificed to idols and committed
sexual immorality. Likewise, you also have those who
hold to the teaching of the
Nicolaitans. Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon
come to you and will fight against them with the sword
of my mouth.

4. REVELATION 2:12-17
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the
