Revelation 2:3

The Letter To The Church In Ephesus

² I know thy works, and thy travail, and thy patience, and that thou canst not bear the wicked; and hast tried those who give themselves out as apostles, yet are not, and hast found them liars; ³ and hast borne, and hast exercised patience, and for my name sake hast endured great toil, and hast not fainted. ⁴ Yet have I a charge against thee, that thou art gone back from thy first love.
