Revelation 2:3

The Letter To The Church In Ephesus

² I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not forbear them which are evil: and examinedst them which say they are apostles, and are not: and hast found them liars. ³ And didst wash thyself, and hast patience: and for my name's sake hast laboured and hast not fainted. ⁴ Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, for thou hast left thy first love.
