2 : 4 But I have this against you, that you have abandonedthe love you had at first.
2 : 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and dothe works you did at first. If not,I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
2 : 6 Yet this you have: you hate the works ofthe Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
