¹⁵ You also have some who in the same way are holding to the teaching of the ^[a]Nicolaitans. ¹⁶ Therefore repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior—seek God’s will]; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war and fight against them with the sword of My mouth [in judgment]. ¹⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God], to him I will give [the privilege of eating] some of the ^[b]hidden manna, and I will give him a ^[c]white stone with a new name engraved on the stone which no one knows except the one who receives it.’^(A)
