Revelation 2:4

2:4 But I have this against you: You have departed from your first love!

Revelation 9:12

9:12 The first woe has passed, but two woes are still coming after these things!


tn The Greek word translated “departed from” (ἀφίημι, afihmi; L&N 15.48) can actually be used of divorce (L&N 34.78), so the imagery here is very strong.

tn Grk “behold.” Here ἰδού (idou) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in the context.
