13. I know that you live where Satan has his throne. But you have kept true to my name. There where Satan lives, my faithful witness Antipas was taken from you and put to death. Even then you did not give up your faith in me.
14. I do have a few things against you. Some of you are following the teaching of Balaam. Long ago he told Balak to teach the people of Israel to eat food that had been offered to idols and to be immoral.
15. Now some of you are following the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16. Turn back! If you don't, I will come quickly and fight against these people. And my words will cut like a sword.
