Revelation 2:1-7 - The Letter To The Church In Ephesus

¹ By the messenger of the congregation in Ephesus, write: These things, says he who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamps: ² I know your works, and your labor, and your patience; and that you can not bear those who are evil: and you have tried those who say they are Apostles, and are not, and have found them liars; ³ and you have patience; and have borne for my name's sake, and have not fainted. ⁴ Nevertheless, I have against you that you have lost your first love. ⁵ Remember, therefore, from what you are fallen, and reform, and do the first works, otherwise I will come to you quickly, and take away your lamp out of its place, unless you reform. ⁶ Yet you have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

⁷ Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. To him who conquers, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
