⁵ Consider how far you have fallen! Repent^(A) and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand^(B) from its place.

¹⁶ Repent^(A) therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.^(B)

²² So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery^(A) with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. ²³ I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds,^(B) and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.^(C)

³ Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent.^(A) But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief,^(B) and you will not know at what time^(C) I will come to you.

¹⁵ I know your deeds,^(A) that you are neither cold nor hot.^(B) I wish you were either one or the other! ¹⁶ So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
