Revelation 2:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 [a]Let him that hath an ear hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt [b]of the second death.
12 [c]And to the Angel of the Church, which is at [d]Pergamos write, Thus saith he which hath that sharp sword with two edges.
13 [e]I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s throne is, and thou keepest my Name, and hast not denied my faith, even in [f]those days when Antipas my faithful martyr was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
