The Letter To The Church In Pergamum

See 21:8]. 12 "And write [this] to the angel of the church at Pergamum: These are the words of Him who has the sharp double-edged sword: 13 I know where you are living; [it is] where Satan's throne is. And [I know] that you are holding on firmly to my name, and did not deny [your] faith in me, even in the days of my faithful witness Antipas [Note: The Greek word here for witness is "martyr"], who was killed there where you are, where Satan lives.
