1. This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Ephesus:I am the one who holds the seven stars in my right hand, and I walk among the seven gold lampstands. Listen to what I say.
2. I know everything you have done, including your hard work and how you have endured. I know you won't put up with anyone who is evil. When some people pretended to be apostles, you tested them and found out that they were liars.
3. You have endured and gone through hard times because of me, and you have not given up.
4. But I do have something against you! And it is this: you don't have as much love as you used to.
