1 “To the messenger of the church in Ephesus, write:The one who holds the seven stars in his right hand, the one who walks among the seven gold lamp stands, says:
2 I know what you have done—how hard you have worked and how you have endured. I also know that you cannot tolerate wicked people. You have tested those who call themselves apostles but are not apostles. You have discovered that they are liars.
3 You have endured, suffered trouble because of my name, and have not grown weary.
4 However, I have this against you: The love you had at first is gone.
