Apocalypse 2
1.Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write: These things saith he who holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:
2.I know thy works and thy labour and thy patience and how thou canst not bear them that are evil. And thou hast tried them who say they are apostles and are not: and hast found them liars:
3.And thou hast patience and hast endured for my name and hast not fainted.
4.But I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first charity.
