Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent.

Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and keep it and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I shall come upon thee.

After

For it is impossible to renew again to repentance those once enlightened, and who have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.

Because it is the God who spoke that out of darkness light should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Ye endured

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, wrestling against sin.

And Saul was consenting to his being killed. And on that day there arose a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and all were scattered into the countries of Judaea and Samaria except the apostles.

But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest

because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only the believing on him but the suffering for him also,

For I would have you know what combat I have for you, and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in flesh;

Take thy share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

I have combated the good combat, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
