Revelation 2:1-7 - The Letter To The Church In Ephesus
1 "To the messenger of the church in Ephesus write: 'The One who is holding the seven stars in His right hand and is walking among the golden lampstands speaks as follows: 2 "I know what you have done; your hard work and patient endurance; that you cannot tolerate wicked persons; that you have tested those who claimed to be apostles although they were not, and have found them to be imposters, 3 You are showing patient endurance, and you have borne it for my sake, and have not grown weary. 4 But I hold it against you that you do not love me as you did at first. 5 So remember the heights from which you have fallen, and repent and do as you did at first, or else I will surely come and move your lampstand from its place -- if you do not repent. 6 But you have it to your credit that you hate what the Nicolaitans are doing, as I do too.
7 Let everyone who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. I will give to him who conquers the privilege of eating the fruit of the tree of life that stands in the paradise of God."'"
