  • Yakan: “Therefore remember your love for me in the beginning and repent (lit. regret and leave) now your sin. And do the good works that you did in the beginning because if you don’t leave your sin, I will come and remove your lampstand from it’s place.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)

  • Tagbanwa: “Hopefully you will indeed remember the big-size of your holding me dear when you had newly submitted to me. And then think about how much is lacking of it now, so that you may repent/be-sorry for this. It is necessary that what you will again do is like what you did in the past. For as long as you don’t truly repent/be-sorry, I really will come there to you for I will remove your lamp with its stand from its position. I will write- you -off/give-up-on-correcting you.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
