1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:“This is the message from the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who walks among the seven gold lampstands.
2 I know what you have done; I know how hard you have worked and how patient you have been. I know that you cannot tolerate evil people and that you have tested those who say they are apostles but are not, and have found out that they are liars.
3 You are patient, you have suffered for my sake, and you have not given up.
4 But this is what I have against you: you do not love me now as you did at first.
