1 Vnto the Angel of the Churche at Ephesus, write: these thynges sayth he that holdeth the seuen starres in his ryght hande, and that walketh in the middes of the seuen golden candlestickes:
2 I knowe thy workes, and thy labour, and thy patience, and howe thou canst not forbeare them which are euyll: and hast examined them which say they are Apostles, and are not, and hast founde them lyers:
3 And hast suffred, and hast patience, and for my names sake hast laboured, and hast not faynted.
4 Neuertheles, I haue somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first loue.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first workes: Or els I wyll come vnto thee shortly, & wyll remoue thy candlesticke out of his place, except thou repet.
6 But this thou hast, because thou hatest the deedes of the Nicolaitans, which (deedes) I also hate.
