Revelation 2:3

The Letter To The Church In Ephesus

² I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy endurance, and that thou canst not bear evil men; and thou didst try those who say they are apostles, and are not, and didst find them liars; ³ and thou hast endurance, and hast borne on account of my name, and hast not become weary. ⁴ But I have this against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
