|
| 14 | "And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: 'The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation. | The Message to Laodicea Re.3.14-22 |
| 15 | " 'I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! | |
| 16 | So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. | |
| 17 | For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. | |
| 18 | Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may be rich, and white garments to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. | |
| 19 | Those whom I love, I reprove and chasten; so be zealous and repent. | |
| 20 | Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. | |
| 21 | He who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. | |
| 22 | He who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit says to the churches.' " | |
