Revelation 2:5-7

The Message

^4-5“But you walked away from your first love—why? What’s going on with you, anyway? Do you have any idea how far you’ve fallen? A Lucifer fall!

“Turn back! Recover your dear early love. No time to waste, for I’m well on my way to removing your light from the golden circle.

⁶“You do have this to your credit: You hate the Nicolaitan business. I hate it, too.

⁷“Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches. I’m about to call each conqueror to dinner. I’m spreading a banquet of Tree-of-Life fruit, a supper plucked from God’s orchard.”

⁵Consider 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. ⁶But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans,^(C) which I also hate.

⁷Whoever has ears, let them hear^(D) what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious,^(E) I will give the right to eat from the tree of life,^(F) which is in the paradise^(G) of God.
