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

¹ To the Angel of the Church in Ephesus write:-- "These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, and walks among the seven golden lamps:-- ² I know your life, your toil and endurance, and I know that you cannot tolerate evil-doers. I know, too, how you tested those who declare that they are Apostles, though they are not, and how you proved them false. ³ You possess endurance, and have borne much for my Name, and have never grown weary. ⁴ But this I have against you--You have abandoned your first love. ⁵ Therefore remember from what you have fallen, and repent, and live the life that you lived before; or else, I will come and remove your Lamp from its place, unless you repent. ⁶ But this is in your favor--You hate the life lived by the Nikolaitans, and I also hate it.

⁷ Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. To him who conquers-- to him I will give the right 'to eat the fruit of the Tree of life, which stands in the Paradise of God.' "
