SCRIPTURE

"And I gave her time that she should repent; and she willeth not to repent of her fornication." — Revelation 2:21 (ASV)

And I gave her space.—Read, And I gave her time to repent, and she will not (or, is not willing to) repent of her fornication, or to repent out of—that is, so as to forsake her fornication. Here, as before, we are reminded that true repentance is a repentance by which we forsake sin (Revelation 3:2).
