Revelation 2:1-7

Revised Geneva Translation

2 “To the angel of the Church of Ephesus, write these things:” says He Who holds the seven stars in His right hand and walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks.

² “I know your works, and your labor, and your patience. And how you cannot bear with those who are evil; and have examined those who say they are Apostles and are not and have found them liars.

³ “And you were burdened and had patience; and for my Name’s sake have labored and have not fainted.

⁴ “Nevertheless, I have somewhat against you, because you have left your first love.

⁵ “Remember therefore from where you have fallen. And repent and do the works you did at first. Or else I will come against you shortly and will remove your candlestick out of its place unless you repent.

⁶ “But this you have: that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

⁷ “Let him who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says to the Churches, ‘To him who overcomes will I give to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.’
