2:1 “你要写信给以弗所教会的使者，说：‘那右手拿着七星，在七个金灯台中间行走的，说：
2:1 "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands:
2:2 我知道你的行为、劳碌、忍耐，也知道你不能容忍恶人。你也曾试验那自称为使徒却不是使徒的，看出他们是假的来。
2:2 I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.
2:3 你也能忍耐，曾为我的名劳苦，并不乏倦。
2:3 You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.
2:4 然而有一件事我要责备你，就是你把起初的爱心离弃了。
2:4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.
2:5 所以应当回想你是从哪里坠落的，并要悔改，行起初所行的事。你若不悔改，我就临到你那里，把你的灯台从原处挪去。
2:5 Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
2:6 然而你还有一件可取的事，就是你恨恶尼哥拉一党人的行为，这也是我所恨恶的。
2:6 But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
2:7 圣灵向众教会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听。得胜的，我必将 神乐园中生命树的果子赐给他吃。’
2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. (To the Church in Smyrna )
