3:14 “To 10 the angel of the church in Laodicea write the following: 11
“This is the solemn pronouncement of 12 the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the originator 13 of God’s creation: 3:15 ‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. 14 I wish you were either cold or hot! 3:16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going 15 to vomit 16 you out of my mouth! 3:17 Because you say, “I am rich and have acquired great wealth, 17 and need nothing,” but 18 do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, 19 poor, blind, and naked, 3:18 take my advice 20 and buy gold from me refined by fire so you can become rich! Buy from me 21 white clothing so you can be clothed and your shameful nakedness 22 will not be exposed, and buy eye salve 23 to put on your eyes so you can see! 3:19 All those 24 I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent! 3:20 Listen! 25 I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home 26 and share a meal with him, and he with me. 3:21 I will grant the one 27 who conquers 28 permission 29 to sit with me on my throne, just as I too conquered 30 and sat down with my Father on his throne. 3:22 The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
