Letters to the Seven Churches

Revelation 2:4-5 But I have this against you, that you left your first love. . . . repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.

Revelation 2:10  . . . the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression . . . Be faithful to death . . .

Revelation 2:14-16 But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam . . . So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise. Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

Revelation 2:20-23 But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. . . . I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. Behold, I will throw her and those who commit adultery with her into a bed of great oppression, unless they repent of her works. I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

Revelation 3:1-3  . . . I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. . . . I have found no works of yours perfected before my God. . . . repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.

Revelation 3:16-17, 19  . . . because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;’ and don’t know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked . . . Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent.
