And so, my friends, as you wait for that Day, do your best to be pure and faultless in God's sight and to be at peace with him.

But this is what I have against you: you do not love me now as you did at first.

I rebuke and punish all whom I love. Be in earnest, then, and turn from your sins.

Listen! I stand at the door and knock; if any hear my voice and open the door, I will come into their house and eat with them, and they will eat with me.
