KJV ORIGINAL
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Remember where you used to be before everything went sideways, and turn it around. Go back to doing what you did when you first started following me. If you don't change course, I'm going to show up and take away your light — your whole purpose and influence will be gone unless you actually repent.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's basically saying: remember your glow-up era and get back there, or you'll lose everything that made you shine.
