Revelation 2

14 *Nu 22.5,7;31.16;Dt 23.4;Nu 25.1-3.I do have a few things against you. Some of you are following the teaching of Balaam.*2.14 Balaam: According to Numbers 22–24, Balaam refused to disobey the Lord. But in other books of the Old Testament, he is spoken of as evil (see Deuteronomy 23.4,5; Joshua 13.22; 24.9,10; Nehemiah 13.2). Long ago he told Balak to teach the people of Israel to eat food that had been offered to idols and to be immoral. 15 Now some of you are following the teaching of the Nicolaitans.*2.15 Nicolaitans: See the note at 2.6.16 Turn back! If you don’t, I will come quickly and fight against these people. And my words will cut like a sword.
