REV CHAP 2

Rev 2:12-17
12 "And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write,
'These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: 13 "I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. 15 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight 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 to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it."' NKJV

Bergama'daki topluluğa
12
-13«Bergama'daki topluluğun meleğine yaz. İki ağızlı keskin kılıca sahip olan şöyle diyor: `Nerede yaşadığını biliyorum; Şeytan'ın tahtı oradadır. Yine de adıma bağlı kalıyorsun. Aranızda, Şeytan'ın yaşadığı yerde öldürülen sadık tanığım Antipa'nın günlerinde bile bana iman ettiğini inkâr etmedin. 14Ne var ki, sana karşı birkaç sitemim var. Aranızda Balam'ın öğretisine bağlı kalanlar var. Putlara sunulan kurbanların etini yemeleri ve cinsel ahlaksızlıkta bulunmaları için İsrail oğullarını ayartmayı Balak'a öğreten Balam'dı. 15Aynı şekilde sizin aranızda da Nikolas yanlılarının öğretisine bağlı kalanlar var. 16Onun için tövbe et! Yoksa senin yanına tez gelir, ağzımdaki kılıçla onlara karşı savaşırım. 17Kulağı olan, Ruh'un topluluklara ne dediğini işitsin. Galip gelene, saklı mandan vereceğim. Ayrıca, ona beyaz bir taş ve bu taşın üzerinde yazılı olan yeni bir ad, alandan başka kimsenin bilmediği bir ad vereceğim
