Revelation 2:2-6
New King James Version
2 (A)“I know your works, your labor, your [a]patience, and that you cannot [b]bear those who are evil. And (B)you have tested those (C)who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; 3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have (D)not become weary. 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, (E)or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. 6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

Revelation 2:2-6
New International Version
2 I know your deeds,(A) your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested(B) those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.(C) 3 You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name,(D) and have not grown weary.
4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.(E) 5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent(F) and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand(G) from its place. 6 But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans,(H) which I also hate.
