Revelation 2:2-6
2‘1I know your deeds and your labor and 2perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil people, and you have 3put those who call themselves 4apostles to the test, and they are not, and you found them to be false;
3and you have 5perseverance and have endured 6on account of My name, and have not become weary.
4But I have this against you, that you have 7left your first love.
5Therefore, remember from where you have fallen, and 8repent, and 9do the 10deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and I will remove your 11lampstand from its place--unless you repent.
6But you have this, that you hate the deeds of the 12Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
