[Early church] in Ephesus [Christ speaking as:] He, "who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands" [acknowledgement] hard work, perseverance, cannot tolerate evil men; "disgust Nicolaites as he disgusts****", and discerned false apostles; pacience and bearing up for his name's sake; and has not grown weary. [rebuke] "...you abandoned the love you had at first." ..."repent and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent."
"To him who overcomes I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God."
