Matthew 24:12: "And the love (of) the majority will-grow-cold because-of lawlessness being-multiplied."


Love of the majority will grow cold?

The same Greek words that are used in the various passages will be CAPITALIZED.

It is written in Matthew 24:12: "the LOVE (of) the majority will-grow-cold".

Later in the 1st century, Jesus said in Revelation to "the church in Ephesus" (Revelation 2:1): "I-have against you that you-left your first LOVE" (Revelation 2:4).

Among the seven churches that Jesus addressed in Revelation, Jesus said to the majority of them (five churches) to "repent" (Revelation 2:5, Revelation 2:16, Revelation 2:22, Revelation 3:3, Revelation 3:19).
