But I hold this against you: you have abandoned the love you had at first.
In context
2I know your works, your labor, and your patient endurance, and that you cannot tolerate wicked people. You have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. 3You have endurance; you have borne up for the sake of my name and have not grown weary. 4But I hold this against you: you have abandoned the love you had at first. 5Remember, then, how far you have fallen. Repent, and do the works you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. 6Yet you have this in your favor: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
