“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.”
Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; so be earnest and repent — the rebuke is framed as a sign of love; discipline (paideuo) is familial correction, not mere punishment. The call to earnest repentance (spoudazō) demands urgent, vigorous response.
