Revelation 2:3

The Letter To The Church In Ephesus

² I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and that you are not able to bear the wicked; and you have tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them to be liars: ³  and you have patience and have borne with them for my name's sake, and have not fainted. ⁴ But I have something against you, because you have left your first love.
