The Loveless Church

1 “To the1 angel of the church of Ephesus write, ‘These things says aHe who holds the seven stars in His right hand, bwho walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:  
2 a“I know your works, your labor, your1 patience, and that you cannot2 bear those who are evil. And byou have tested those cwho say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars;  
3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have anot become weary.  
4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, aor else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.  
6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 a“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give bto eat from cthe tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’

The church of Ephesus. They city of Ephesus was the capital of the Roman province of Asia, and the greatest city. As a great center it was sought by the Apostle Paul, who founded the church and labored there more than three years (Acts 18:19 19:1), and afterwards addressed to it the Epistle to the Ephesians. At a later period he placed Timothy there and addressed two epistles to him. All early church tradition declares that John from about AD 70 made this city his home until his death. There is not now standing a single house upon the site of the ancient city, though the ruins are of the most imposing character. The Turkish village of Agasalouk, upon the Smyrna and Aidan R. R., is about two miles distant. These things saith he, etc. See Revelation 1:13.
