Though the congregation had its faults ​ — a “Jezebel ” influence was being tolerated — ​ it was doing well in other respects, and Jesus wanted those brothers and sisters to know that their zealous activity had not gone unnoticed.
Kuigi kogudusel olid oma vead — seal salliti „Iisebeli ” mõju — edenes ta hästi muudes asjades, ja Jeesus tahtis, et need vennad ja õed teaksid, et nende innukas tegevus polnud jäänud märkamata.
