Revelation 2:5-7
Living Bible
5 Think about those times of your first love (how different now!) and turn back to me again and work as you did before; or else I will come and remove your candlestick from its place among the churches.
6 “But there is this about you that is good: You hate the deeds of the licentious Nicolaitans,[a] just as I do.
7 “Let this message sink into the ears of anyone who listens to what the Spirit is saying to the churches: To everyone who is victorious, I will give fruit from the Tree of Life in the Paradise of God.

5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent(A) and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand(B) from its place. 6 But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans,(C) which I also hate.
7 Whoever has ears, let them hear(D) what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious,(E) I will give the right to eat from the tree of life,(F) which is in the paradise(G) of God.
