The LORD's command to the church in Ephesus:
Revelation 2:1-6
King James Version
2 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write;
These things saith he
that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand,
who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2 I know thy works,
and thy labour,
and thy patience,
and how thou canst not bear them which are evil:
and thou hast tried them
which say they are apostles, and are not,
and hast found them liars:
3 And hast borne, and hast patience,
and for my name's sake hast laboured,
and hast not fainted.
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee,
because thou hast left thy first love.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen,
and repent, and do the first works;
or else I will come unto thee quickly,
and will remove thy candlestick out of his place,
except thou repent.
6 But this thou hast,
that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes,
which I also hate.
To those that overcome:
Revelation 2:7
King James Version
7 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;
To him that overcometh will I give
to eat of the tree of life,
which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
The next post is on the church in Smyrna.
