Revelation 2:1-3

American Standard Version

2 To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:

These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, he that walketh in the midst of the seven golden ^[a]candlesticks: ² I know thy works, and thy toil and ^[b]patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men, and didst try them that call themselves apostles, and they are not, and didst find them false; ³ and thou hast ^[c]patience and didst bear for my name’s sake, and hast not grown weary.
