Revelation 3:10-21

English Standard Version

¹⁰^(A)Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try ^(B)those who dwell on the earth. ¹¹^(C)I am coming soon. ^(D)Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize ^(E)your crown. ¹²^(F)The one who conquers, I will make him ^(G)a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him ^(H)the name of my God, and ^(I)the name of the city of my God, ^(J)the new Jerusalem, ^(K)which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own ^(L)new name. ¹³^(M)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

To the Church in Laodicea

¹⁴“And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the ^(N)Amen, ^(O)the faithful and true witness, ^(P)the beginning of God's creation.

¹⁵“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. ^(Q)Would that you were either cold or hot! ¹⁶So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. ¹⁷^(R)For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, ^(S)blind, and naked. ¹⁸I counsel you ^(T)to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and ^(U)white garments so that you may clothe yourself and ^(V)the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, ^(W)so that you may see. ¹⁹^(X)Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. ²⁰Behold, I stand at the door and ^(Y)knock. ^(Z)If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, ^(AA)I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. ²¹^(AB)The one who conquers, ^(AC)I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as ^(AD)I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
