Repent,.... This is said to those who were truly godly in those times, but still retained their communion with these corrupt men, and had not, as yet, separated from then; nor had they protested against these evil doctrines and practices, at least but very coldly, and had too much connived at them; and therefore are called upon to repent of their lukewarmness, negligence, and sinful compliances:or else I will come unto thee quickly: in a providential way, to rebuke and chastise for such remissness, indifference, and evil communication:and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth; of this sword, See Gill on "Re 1:16".
