Rev. 2:2 ¶ ‘I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false; Rev. 2:3 and you have perseverance and have endured for My name’s sake, and
Rev. 1:1 ¶ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John, Rev. 1:2 who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to
