ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To the agent of the congregation in Ephesus write, These things says he who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: ² I know thy works, and thy toil, and thy perseverance, and that thou cannot tolerate evil, and thou examined those who say themselves to be apostles, and are not, and found them false. ³ And thou have perseverance. And thou endured because of my name, and did not become weary.
