Notwithstanding°
I have°°
a few things°

my°
servants°
to commit fornication,°°

I gave°°
her°
space°
to°
repent°°
of°
her°°
fornication;°
and°
she repented°°
not.° |

Behold, I cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of her works. |

And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto each one of you according to your works. |
