【启二 12-13】 你要写信给别迦摩教会的使者,说:“那有两刃利剑的,说: 我知道你的居所,就是有撒但座位之处;当我忠心的见证人安提帕在你们中间、撒但所住的地方被杀之时,你还坚守我的名,没有弃绝我的道。

【Rev 2:12-13】 "To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword. 13 I know where you live-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.

【启二 14-16】 然而,有几件事我要责备你:因为在你那里有人服从了巴兰的教训;这巴兰曾教导巴勒将绊脚石放在以色列人面前,叫他们吃祭偶像之物,行奸淫的事。你那里也有人照样服从了尼哥拉一党人的教训。所以,你当悔改;若不悔改,我就快临到你那里,用我口中的剑攻击他们。

【Rev 2:14-16】 14 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. 15 Likewise, you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

【启二 17】 圣灵向众教会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听!得胜的,我必将那隐藏的吗哪赐给他,并赐他一块白石,石上写着新名;除了那领受的以外,没有人能认识。”

【Rev 2:17】 17 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.
