启示录 2:19

2. Commendation 2:19

In many particulars some in this church were praiseworthy. They were strong in good deeds, love for others, trust in God, service of their Savior, and patient endurance in trials. Moreover they had become even more zealous recently. Love shows itself in service, and faith demonstrates itself in perseverance through persecution. [Note: J. P. Lange, "The Revelation of John," in Lange’s Commentary on the Holy Scriptures, p. 121.]
