Revelation 3:19 Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Christ rebukes and chasteneth them whom he loveth, Proverbs 3:11-12 and Hebrews 12:5-8; Hebrews 12:13 that is, He doth reprove them by His Word, and correct them with His rod; but it is in love to their souls. Be zealous therefore and repent. First, Repent, that is, sorrow after a godly manner for your sins, 2 Corinthians 7:9-10 of formality, hypocrisy, luke-warmness, &c. Secondly, Be zealous, that is, be fervent in Spirit, Romans 12:11 having a fervent zeal for the glory of God, the honor of Christ and the credit of the gospel, and the example of others.
