Revelation 2:14

← Revelation 2:13 [words of Jesus]	Revelation 2:14 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Revelation 2:15 [words of Jesus] →
I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan's seat [is]: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas [was] my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.	But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.	So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
