The Key Word — διδαχὴν, didachēgenerated
The Greek word διδαχὴ (i.e., *didachē*) means teaching or doctrine. It encompasses both the act of teaching and the content taught, as seen in various New Testament contexts. Here, it refers specifically to the erroneous teachings that some in the church were following, which were leading them away from the truth.
This term is significant in the New Testament as it often denotes the core beliefs and practices of the early church. The church in Pergamum is cautioned against these teachings, which are likened to the misleading guidance of Balaam.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In this verse, the Berean Standard Bible uses the term teaching, which is consistent across several translations such as the ASV, BSB, and WEB.
However, the KJV and YLT use the term doctrine, which emphasizes the formal aspect of the teaching. This reflects a slight variation in how the translations render the concept of teaching or doctrine.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main finite verb in the verse is ἔχω, I have, which governs the overall statement. There are several clauses and phrases that elaborate on what is held against the church, including a prepositional phrase indicating the location of the false teaching.
The structure includes a series of clauses that detail the actions and teachings that are problematic, culminating in the description of the consequences of these teachings.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
Βαλαάμ refers to Balaam, a figure from the Hebrew Bible known for leading Israel astray. In the Septuagint, he is associated with teachings that mislead the people of God, which is echoed in this verse's warning to the church.
σκάνδαλον is also present in the Septuagint, where it describes a trap or stumbling block, reinforcing the idea of leading others into sin.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Revelation 2:14 shows that Jesus has a few things against the church in Pergamum. Some members are following the teachings of Balaam, which led the Israelites to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols and committing sexual immorality. This warning highlights the dangers of compromising faith for the sake of cultural acceptance.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
The teaching of Balaam refers to the misleading guidance that led the Israelites into sin, particularly through idolatry and sexual immorality, as seen in the Old Testament.
Sexual immorality is mentioned as part of the consequences of following false teachings, which often led to moral compromise and idolatry.
This warning serves as a reminder for modern believers to be vigilant against teachings that contradict the core tenets of their faith and to avoid compromising their beliefs for cultural acceptance.
The stumbling block symbolizes anything that leads believers away from their faith, causing them to fall into sin or error.

What the doctrine of Balaam was, see the notes on Numbers 24:1-25:18; Numbers 31:1-54. It appears that there were some then in the Church at Pergamos who held eating things offered to idols in honour of those idols, and fornication, indifferent things. They associated with idolaters in the heathen temples, and partook with them in their religious festivals.

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Sed habeo adversus te pauca : quia habes illic tenentes doctrinam Balaam, qui docebat Balac mittere scandalum coram filiis Israël, edere, et fornicari :

Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The Greek word ἀλλά (alla) is an adversative particle, meaning 'but' or 'otherwise.' It is derived from the neuter plural of ἄλλος and is used to introduce opposition or contrast in sentences. In the New Testament, it often appears in contexts that involve negation or exceptions, such as in Matthew 5:15 and John 16:2. The lexicons note its stronger adversative force compared to δέ.

The Greek word ἔχω, transliterated as echō, means 'to have' or 'to hold' and is used in various contexts, including possession, ability, and condition. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often relating to physical possession or metaphorical concepts like keeping faith or emotions. Notably, it can also refer to being pregnant, as seen in Matthew 1:18. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

κατά (kata) is a preposition used with the genitive and accusative cases, primarily meaning 'down' or 'against.' It indicates direction, motion, or relation, appearing in various contexts such as 'down from' (e.g., Mt 8:32) and 'against' (e.g., Mk 9:40). The word also conveys meanings like 'throughout' and 'according to.' Lexicons note its frequent use in the New Testament, with some variations in application.

(cf. Proleg. p. 105). Brugmann (Awrze Vergletchende Grammazk, p. 479) considers that the earliest use of the word was “‘along ” something, so as to remain in connexion and contact with the object, and from this most of the senses found in the NT can be derived. I.

The Greek word ὅτι (hoti) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that' or 'because.' It introduces objective clauses, often following verbs of perception or declaration, and can also serve as a causal particle. The New Testament frequently employs it in this way, such as in Matthew 5:4-12. There is some variation in how lexicons describe its usage, particularly regarding its pleonastic function in direct discourse.
ὅτι [properly neut. of ὅστις], a conjunction [fr. Hom. down], (Lat. quod [ef.

The Greek word ἔχω, transliterated as echō, means 'to have' or 'to hold' and is used in various contexts, including possession, ability, and condition. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often relating to physical possession or metaphorical concepts like keeping faith or emotions. Notably, it can also refer to being pregnant, as seen in Matthew 1:18. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

The Greek word ἐκεῖ (i.e., *ekei*) is an adverb meaning 'there' or 'in that place.' It is often used in the New Testament to indicate location and can also imply direction when paired with verbs of motion, functioning similarly to 'thither.' The word appears in various contexts, including euphemistic references to the dead. Notably, Thayer's entry mentions its use in pleonastic constructions.
ἐκεῖ, adv. of place, there; a. properly: Mt. ii. 13, 15; v. 24, and freq. In LK. xiii. 28 ἐκεῖ is not used for ev ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ foll. by ὅταν (at that time... when etc.), but means in that place whither ye have been banished; cf. Meyer ad loc. οἱ ἐκεῖ, se. ὄντες, Standing there, Mt. xxvi. 71 [Tr mrg. αὐτοὶ ἐκεῖ]. It answers to a relative adv.: οὗ τὸ πνεῦμα, ἐκεῖ ἐλευθερία, 2 Co. iii. 17 ἑαυτὸν ἔκδ. διδόναι τῷ Rec.; Mt. vi. 21; xviii. 20; xxiv. 28; Mk. vi.10; Lk. xii. 34; Hebraistically, where a preceding adv. or rel. pron. has already attracted the verb, ἐκεῖ is added to this verb pleonastically: Rey. xii. 6 GT Tr WH (ὅπου ἔχει ἐκεῖ τόπον), 14 (ὅπου τρέφεται ἐκεῖ) ; cf. Deut. iv. 5, 14, 26; 1 Mace. xiv. 34, and what was said p. 86", 5 on the pron. αὐτός after a relative. b. by a negligent use common also in the classics it stands after verbs of motion for ἐκεῖσε, thither: so after…

κρατέω is built from the root κράτος, meaning strength or power. It encompasses meanings such as to be strong, to rule, to seize, and to retain. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts of holding power over others, obtaining possession, or retaining teachings. Notably, it is used in Matthew 9:25 and Acts 2:24.
κρατέω. For κρατέω in its primary sense of ‘‘ become master of,’’ “rule,” ‘conquer,’’ we may cite P Oxy I. 33 verso: 8 (late ii/A.D.) πρῶτον μὲν Καῖσαρ ἔϊσωσε Κλεοπάτρ[αν] ἐκράτησεν βασι[λείας, ““ἴπ the first place Caesar saved Cleopatra’s life when he conquered her kingdom” (Edd.). The gen. construction, which is here supplied, is comparatively rare in the NT (cf. Pro/eg. pp. 65, 235), but may be further illustrated by P Par 26°? (B.c. 163-2) (= Se/ections, p. 18) ὑμῖν δὲ γίνοιτο κρατεῖν πάσης ἧς ἂν αἱρῆσθε χώρας, and by the magic P Lond 121®8® (iii/a.p.)

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,

The Greek word διδαχή (i.e., *didachē*) means teaching or doctrine, derived from the verb for teaching. It encompasses both the act of teaching and the content taught, appearing in various New Testament contexts, such as in Mark and John. The term can also refer to military instruction in other literature, indicating a broader application beyond religious teaching.

The Greek word Βαλαάμ refers to Balaam, a figure from the Hebrew Bible known for his prophetic abilities and his role in cursing the Israelites. It is derived from Hebrew and is used in the New Testament in references such as 2 Peter 2:15 and Jude 11. The lexicons note that Balaam is often seen as a symbol of false teaching.

Simonis equiv. to Dy » 3 a swallowing up of the people; in Joseph. 6 Badayos), Balaam (or Bileam), a native of Pethor a city of Mesopotamia, endued by Jehovah with prophetic power. He was hired by Balak (see Βαλάκ) to curse the Israelites ; and influenced by the love of reward, he wished to gratify Balak; but he was compelled by Jehovah’s power to bless them (Num. xxii— xxiv. ; Deut. xxiii. 5 sq.; Josh. xiii. 22; xxiv. 9; Mie. vi. 5). Hence the later Jews saw in him a most abandoned deceiver: Rev. ii. 14; 2 Pet.ii.15; Jude 11. Cf. Win. RWB. [and BB.DD.] 5. v.

Balaam
Lord of the people; foreigner or glutton, as interpreted by others, the son of Beor, was a man of some rank among the Midianites (Num. 31:8; comp. 16). He resided at Pethor (Deut. 23:4), in Mesopotamia (Num. 23:7). It is evident that though dwelling among idolaters he had some knowledge of the true God; and was held in such reputation that it was supposed that he whom he blessed was blessed, and he whom he cursed was cursed. When the Israelites were encamped on the plains of Moab, on the east of Jordan, by Jericho, Balak sent for Balaam “from Aram, out of the mountains of the east,” to curse them; but by the remarkable interposition of God he was utterly unable to fulfil Balak’s wish, however desirous he was to do so. The…
(B.C. 1451), the son of beor, a man endowed with the gift of prophecy. (Numbers 22:5) He is mentioned in conjunction with the five kings of Midian, apparently as a person of the same rank. (Numbers 31:8) cf. Numb 31:16 He seems to have lived at Pethor, (23:4; Numbers 22:5) on the river Euphrates, in Mesopotamia. Such was his reputation that when the Israelites were encamped in the plains of Moab, Balak, the king of Moab, sent for Balaam to curse them. Balaam at first was prohibited by God from going. He was again sent for by the king and again refused, but was at length allowed to go. He yielded to the temptations of riches and honor which Balak set before him; but God’s anger was kindled at this manifestation of determined…
A celebrated diviner, of the city Pethor, on the Euphrates, Nu 22:5. Balak, king of Moab, having seen the multitudes of Israel, and fearing they would attack his country, sent for Balaam, who was famous for his supposed supernatural powers, to come and curse them. Balaam, though eager for gain, was led to ask counsel of God, who forbade his going. Balak afterwards sent other deputies, whom Balaam finally accompanied without the approval of God, who sent an angel to meet and warn him in the way. Here occurred the miracle of Balaam’s ass, Nu 22:22,35. But instead of cursing, he was constrained by the Spirit of God to bless the children of Israel. This he did a second and a third time, to the extreme mortification of Balak, who dismissed him in great anger. Balaam subsequently…

ὅς is a pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' 'what,' or 'that.' It serves as both a demonstrative and a relative pronoun, agreeing in gender with its antecedent. The New Testament uses it in various constructions, including phrases like ὃς μὲν... ὃς δέ to indicate contrasting subjects. Notably, it can express purpose or cause in certain contexts.

διδάσκω (didaskō) means to teach or instruct someone or something. It is a verb that can take various constructions, such as an accusative object or an infinitive. The New Testament frequently uses it, notably in passages like Matthew 5:2 and Mark 1:22. The word has roots in both classical and biblical Greek, with a broad application in teaching contexts.
διδάσκω
[in LXX chiefly for למד pi., also for ידע hi., ירה hi., etc. ;]
to teach (i.e. instruct) a person, teach a thing;

import; rarely with verbs of motion, and then not to indicate
direction, except (elliptically) by a separate (and different)
preposition.

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

The Greek word Βαλάκ (i.e., *Balak*) is a proper noun referring to Balak, the king of the Moabites. It is indeclinable and has references in the New Testament, specifically in Revelation 2:14. The entries indicate a Hebrew origin and provide a consistent identification of the figure from the Old Testament.

Empty; spoiler, a son of Zippor, and king of the Moabites (Num. 22:2, 4). From fear of the Israelites, who were encamped near the confines of his territory, he applied to Balaam (q.v.) to curse them; but in vain (Josh. 24:9).

King of Moab, when the Israelites were drawing near the promised land. He was filled with terror lest they should attack and destroy him, as they had Sihon and Og, and implored the soothsayer Balaam to come and curse them. His fears and his devices were both in vain, De 2:9. See BALAAM. He found he had nothing to fear from Israel if at peace with them, and nothing to hope if at war with them.

The Greek word βάλλω (i.e., *ballō*) means to throw, cast, or place something, and can apply to both physical and metaphorical contexts. It is used in various ways, such as throwing weapons, pouring liquids, or even casting someone into a situation. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like casting out demons or laying down burdens. The lexicons do not indicate significant disagreement about its meanings.

The Greek word σκάνδαλον (i.e., *skandalon*) refers to a trap or snare, and metaphorically to a stumbling block or cause of offense. It is derived from a rare term and is used in the New Testament to describe anything that leads one into error or sin, including the figure of Christ as a stumbling block (1 Cor 1:23). It appears in various contexts, emphasizing its role as an impediment to faith or morality.

snar (pach; pagis, but brochos, in 1Co 7:35): Over half a dozen Hebrew words are used to indicate different methods of taking birds and animals, of which the snare (pach) is mentioned oftener than any other. It was a noose of hair for small birds, of wire for larger birds or smaller animals. The snares were set in a favorable location and grain scattered to attract the attention of feathered creatures. They accepted the bribe of good feeding and walked into the snare, not suspecting danger. For this reason the snare became particularly applicable in describing a tempting bribe offered by men to lead their fellows into trouble, and the list of references is a long one, all of the same nature. See Ex 10:7; 1Sa 18:21; 28:9;

The Greek word ἐνώπιον (i.e., *enopion*) means 'before' or 'in the presence of.' It is derived from a combination of prepositions and a term meaning 'face.' This word is often used in the New Testament, particularly in the writings of Luke and Revelation, to indicate being in the sight of someone, especially God, as seen in verses like Romans 14:22 and Revelation 1:4.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word υἱός (i.e., *huios*) means 'son' and is used broadly to refer to biological offspring, descendants, or figuratively to denote kinship. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, including titles for Jesus, such as 'Son of God' and 'Son of Man', as well as in expressions of spiritual relationships, like 'sons of God' referring to believers. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including references to the house, people, and tribes of Israel, as well as metaphorically for Christians. The term is indeclinable and has a range of meanings related to the Jewish nation and its heritage.

Israel
The name conferred on Jacob after the great prayer-struggle at Peniel (Gen. 32:28), because “as a prince he had power with God and prevailed.” (See JACOB.) This is the common name given to Jacob’s descendants. The whole people of the twelve tribes are called “Israelites,” the “children of Israel” (Josh. 3:17; 7:25; Judg. 8:27; Jer. 3:21), and the “house of Israel” (Ex. 16:31; 40:38).
This name Israel is sometimes used emphatically for the true Israel (Ps. 73:1: Isa. 45:17; 49:3;

It became the national name of the twelve tribes collectively. They are so called in (Exodus 3:16) and afterward. It is used in a narrower sense, excluding Judah, in (1 Samuel 11:8; 2 Samuel 20:1; 1 Kings 12:16) Thenceforth it was assumed and accepted as the name of the northern kingdom. After the Babylonian captivity, the returned exiles resumed the name Israel as the designation of…
Who prevails with God, a name given to Jacob, after having wrestled with the Angel-Jehovah at Penuel. Ge 32:1,2,28,30 Ho 12:3. See JACOB. By the name Israel is sometimes understood all the posterity of Israel, the seed of Jacob, 1Co 10:18; sometimes all true believers, his spiritual seed, Ro 9:6; and sometimes the kingdom of Israel, or the ten tribes, as distinct from the kingdom of Judah.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἐσθίω (i.e., *esthio*) means 'to eat' and is used in various contexts, both literal and figurative. It is built from the root associated with eating and can imply consuming food in a regular manner or in a more metaphorical sense, such as devouring or squandering. The New Testament uses this term frequently, with a notable emphasis on eating in communal or ritual contexts.

εἰδωλόθυτος refers to something that is sacrificed to idols, derived from the words for 'image' and 'to sacrifice.' It encompasses the flesh left over from such sacrifices, which could be eaten at feasts or sold in markets. The term appears in several New Testament passages, including Acts 15:29 and 1 Corinthians 8:1, 4, 7, 10.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
