(2) I know your works, your labour and covenant-love and that you can't bear evil and you test those who call themselves apostles and aren't and find them deceiving.
The F.O.G
[2] I know everything about you - I've seen your exhausting work and your patient endurance. I know you cannot tolerate those who practice evil. You've thoroughly tested those who claim to be apostles but aren't, and you've exposed them as frauds.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
I have known thy works, and thy labour, and thy endurance, and that thou art not able to bear evil ones, and that thou hast tried those saying themselves to be apostles and are not, and hast found them liars,
