Revelation 2:19 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

I know thy works; the works of the ministry of this church were such as Christ knew, not only with a knowledge of comprehension, but approbation also. And charity; such were his charity to Christians that were in distress. And service; his diligence in his ministration. And faith; his faith, and adherence to Christ, and the doctrine of the gospel. And thy patience; his meek bearing of his crosses and trials. And thy works; his other works, the fruit of faith and love. And the last to be more than the first; and his proficiency both in spiritual habits, and good works, the fruits of them.
