Revelation 2:1-6

To the Church in Ephesus

“To the angel of the church in ^aEphesus write:
This is what the One who holds ^bthe seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks ¹^camong the seven golden lampstands, says:
2 ‘^aI know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot bear with those who are evil, and you ^bput to the test those who call themselves ^capostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false; 3 and you have perseverance and have ¹endured ^afor My name’s sake, you also have not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have ^aleft your first love. 5 Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and ^arepent and ^bdo the ¹deeds you did at first. But if not, I am coming to you and will remove your ^clampstand out of its place, unless you repent. 6 Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the ^aNicolaitans, which I also hate.
