Revelation 2:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ “But I have a few things against you: You have some there who follow the teaching of Balaam. He taught Balak how to ·cause the people of Israel to sin [^Lput a stumbling block before the children of Israel] by eating food offered to idols and by taking part in sexual sins [Num. 22—24; 31:8; Deut. 23:4–5; 2 Pet. 2:15; Jude 11]. ¹⁵ You also have some who follow the teaching of the Nicolaitans [see 2:6]. ¹⁶ So ·change your hearts and lives [repent]. If you do not, I will come to you quickly and ·fight [make war] against them with the sword that comes out of my mouth [^Cthe judgment he enacts by merely speaking; 1:16].
