Revelation 2:3

The Letter To The Church In Ephesus

² I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, that thou canst not bear evil men; and thou hast tried those who say they are apostles and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast patience, ³ and hast borne for my name's sake, and hast not fainted. ⁴ But I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love.
