To the Church in Pergamum

2:12 “To ⁴  the angel of the church in Pergamum write the following: ⁵ 

“This is the solemn pronouncement of ⁶  the one who has the sharp double-edged sword: ⁷ 

¹ tn Heb “[May] praises of God [be] in their throat, and a two-edged sword in their hand.”

² tn Grk “and having.” In the Greek text this is a continuation of the previous sentence, but because contemporary English style employs much shorter sentences, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the pronoun “he.”

³ tn This is a continuation of the previous sentence in the Greek text, but a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated due to differences between Greek and English style.

⁵ tn The phrase “the following” after “write” is supplied to clarify that what follows is the content of what is to be written.

⁶ tn Grk “These things says [the One]…” See the note on the phrase “this is the solemn pronouncement of” in 2:1.

⁷ sn On the sharp double-edged sword see 1:16.
