Revelation 2:14 in Context — Revelation 2

12 Écris à l’ange de l’Église de Pergame: Voici ce que dit celui qui al’épée aiguë, à deux tranchants:

13 Je sais où tu demeures, je sais que là est le trône de Satan. Tu retiens mon nom, et tu n’as pas renié ma foi, même aux jours d’Antipas, mon témoin fidèle, qui a été mis à mort chez vous, là où Satan a sa demeure.

14 Mais j’ai quelque chose contre toi, c’est que tu as là des gens attachés à la doctrine deBalaam, qui enseignait à Balak à mettre une pierre d’achoppement devant les fils d’Israël, pour qu’ils mangeassent des viandes sacrifiées aux idoles et qu’ils se livrassent à l’impudicité.

15 De même, toi aussi, tu as des gens attachés pareillement à la doctrine des Nicolaïtes.

16 Repens-toi donc; sinon, je viendrai à toi bientôt, et je les combattraiavec l’épée de ma bouche.
