NASB | Revelation 2:5 'Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place--unless you repent. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 2:5 'So remember the heights from which you have fallen, and repent [change your inner self--your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior--seek God's will] and do the works you did at first [when you first knew Me]; otherwise, I will visit you and remove your lampstand (the church, its impact) from its place--unless you repent. |
Bible Question: Can anybody please help me find the following scripture?! I'm going nuts trying to find it... I believe it's in the Old Testament and it talks about rebuilding your testimony after sin. Something a long the lines of after sin you must rebuild your testimony and all your works all over again. Somebody please help!!!! Thanks in advance!!!! God Bless :) |
Bible Answer: This passage mentions redoing your first works Revelation 2:4-5 (NKJV) 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place--unless you repent. But it is obviously from the NT. The problem is the word works is used over 250 times and testimony over 98 times |
