Revelation 2:1-7 - The Letter To The Church In Ephesus
1 To the angel of the church at Ephesus write thus: ??These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who moves among the seven golden lampstands: 2 I know your doings, your hard work and your patient endurance; I know that you cannot bear wicked men, and that you have tested those who style themselves apostles (no apostles they!) and detected them to be liars; 3 I know that you are enduring patiently and have borne up for my sake and have not wearied. 4 But I have this against you: you have given up loving one another as you did at first. 5 Now, remember the height from which you have fallen; repent and act as you did at first. If not, I will come to you [very soon] and remove your lamp stand, unless you repent. 6 Still, you have this in your favour: you hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, and I hate them too.
7 Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches: 'The conqueror I will allow to eat from the tree of Life which is within the paradise of God.'
