Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Write To Ephesus: You Left Your First Love. Repent And Do The First Works
2 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus, write— These things says the One holding-on-to the seven stars in His right hand, the One walking in the midst of the seven golden lampstands. 2 I know your works and[a] labor and your endurance, and that you cannot bear-with evil ones. And you tested the ones calling themselves apostles (and they are not) and you found them to be false. 3 And you have endurance, and bore-up for the sake of My name, and have not become-weary.
