But I have a few things against you: you have there some who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality.
In context
12To the angel of the church in Pergamum, write: “These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword. 13I know where you live — where Satan’s throne is. Yet you hold fast to my name and did not deny your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan lives. 14But I have a few things against you: you have there some who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality. 15So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16Repent, then. Otherwise, I will come to you soon and make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
