Revelation 2:3

The Letter To The Church In Ephesus

² I know thy works, and thy toil and patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men, and didst try them that call themselves apostles, and they are not, and didst find them false; ³ and thou hast patience and didst bear for my name's sake, and hast not grown weary. ⁴ But I have this against thee, that thou didst leave thy first love.
