This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

4. τὴν ἀγάπην σου τὴν πρώτην. It is to be remembered that these words have not in ecclesiastical (or indeed in any) Greek the same sentimental associations as in English; nevertheless it is not unlikely that conjugal love is meant: cf. Jer 2:2, LXX. ἐμνήσθην ἐλέους νεότητός σου καὶ ἀγάπης τελειώσεώς σου. Christ is certainly its object; it might be inferred from τὰ πρῶτα ἔργα that it showed itself in love to the brethren.
