Revelation 2:2-3

2I know everything that you do. You have worked much for me. You have continued to work patiently. I know that you do not accept bad people as your friends. Some of these bad people say that they are apostles of Jesus. You have thought carefully about what they teach people. And you have discovered that it is not true.

3You have been patient and strong in times of trouble. You have continued to serve me because you believe in me. You have not stopped when you become tired.
