Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:

Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
