14But I have a few things against you: you have there some who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat food sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.

15So you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.

16Therefore repent. But if not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

17The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on it, which no one knows except the one who receives it.
