⁷ `Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps,

³⁵ `Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,

¹⁹ `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;

²⁰ lo, I have stood at the door, and I knock; if any one may hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

¹⁴ wherefore, beloved, these things waiting for, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, by Him to be found in peace,

⁴ `But I have against thee: That thy first love thou didst leave!

⁵ remember, then, whence thou hast fallen, and reform, and the first works do; and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will remove thy lamp-stand from its place -- if thou mayest not reform;

² become watching, and strengthen the rest of the things that are about to die, for I have not found thy works fulfilled before God.
