Revelation 2:1-7 - The Letter To The Church In Ephesus

¹ TO the angel of the Ephesian church write; These things saith he who grasps the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh round in the midst of the seven golden lamps; 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. ⁵ Remember then from whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and practise thy first works; but if not, I am coming to thee quickly, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou repent. ⁶ But this thou holdest, that thou abhorrest the deeds of the Nicolatans, which I also abhor.

⁷ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches, To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
