The Letter To The Church In Pergamum

15 Again you have among you those who hold in the same way to the Teaching of the Nikolaitans. 16  Therefore repent, or else, I will come quickly and contend with such men with words that will cut like a sword. 17 Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. To him who conquers-- to him I will give a share of the mystic manna, and I will give him a white stone; and on the stone shall be inscribed a new name, which no one knows except him who receives it."
