“These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, he that walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks: I know your works, and your toil and patience, and that you canst not bear evil men, and didst try them that call themselves apostles, and they are not, and didst find them false; and you have patience and didst bear for my name's sake, and have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you didst leave your first love. Remember therefore whence you are fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I come to you, and will move your candlestick out of its place, except you repent. But this you have, that you hatest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him that overcoms, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.”
