Revelation 1:19-2:7
New American Standard Bible
19 Therefore (A)write (B)the things which you have seen, [a]and the things which are, and the things which will take place (C)after these things. 20 As for the (D)mystery of the (E)seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the (F)seven golden lampstands: the (G)seven stars are the angels of (H)the seven churches, and the seven (I)lampstands are the seven churches.
Message to Ephesus
2 “To the angel of the church in (J)Ephesus write:
The One who holds (K)the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks [b](L)among the seven golden lampstands, says this:
2 ‘(M)I know your deeds and your labor and [c]perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil people, and you have (N)put those who call themselves (O)apostles to the test, and they are not, and you found them to be false; 3 and you have [d]perseverance and have endured (P)on account of My name, and have not become weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have (Q)left your first love. 5 Therefore, remember from where you have fallen, and (R)repent, and (S)do the [e]deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and I will remove your (T)lampstand from its place—unless you repent. 6 But you have this, that you hate the deeds of the (U)Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 (V)The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (W)To the one who overcomes, I will grant to eat from (X)the tree of life, which is in the (Y)Paradise of God.’
