“‘And you have left your first love: remember whence you have fallen.’ (Apoc. 2:4-5) He who falls, falls from a height: therefore He said whence: because, even to the very last, works of love must be practised; and this is the principal commandment. Finally, unless this is done, He threatened to remove their candlestick out of its place, that is, to disperse the congregation.”    St. . Victorinus, Commentary on the Apocalypse
