1 This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Ephesus:I am the one who holds the seven stars in my right hand, and I walk among the seven gold lampstands. Listen to what I say.
2 I know everything you have done, including your hard work and how you have endured. I know you won't put up with anyone who is evil. When some people pretended to be apostles, you tested them and found out that they were liars.
3 You have endured and gone through hard times because of me, and you have not given up.
4 But I do have something against you! And it is this: you don't have as much love as you used to.
