Revelation 2:4 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

But I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love — That love for which all that church was so eminent when St. Paul wrote his epistle to them. He need not have left this. He might have retained it entire to the end. And he did retain it in part, or there could not have remained so much of what was commendable in him. But he had not kept, as he might have done, the first tender love in its vigour and warmth. Reader, hast thou?

Revelation 2:4

4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
