New American Standard Bible
Message to Laodicea
14 “To the angel of the church in (A)Laodicea write:
(B)The Amen, (C)the faithful and true Witness, (D)the [a]Origin of the creation of God, says this:
15 ‘(E)I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; (F)I wish that you were cold or hot. 16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, “(G)I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have no need of anything,” and you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked, 18 I advise you to (H)buy from Me (I)gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and (J)white garments so that you may clothe yourself and (K)the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to apply to your eyes so that you may see. 19 (L)Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and (M)repent. 20 Behold, I stand (N)at the door and (O)knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, (P)I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. 21 (Q)The one who overcomes, I will grant to him (R)to sit with Me on My throne, as (S)I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne. 22 (T)The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”

Per la chiesa di Laodicèa: né fredda, né fervente
14 Scrivi questa lettera al responsabile della chiesa di Laodicèa.
“Questo è il messaggio del Signore, che è sempre lo stesso, il testimone fedele e verace (tutto ciò che è, che era e sempre sarà), la prima fonte della creazione di Dio.
15 Io vi conosco bene, non siete né caldi né freddi. Quanto vorrei che foste una cosa o lʼaltra! 16 Ma poiché siete soltanto tiepidi, e non siete né freddi, né ferventi, vi sputerò dalla mia bocca!
17 Voi dite: ‘Siamo ricchi, abbiamo tutto ciò che vogliamo e non abbiamo bisogno di niente!’ E non sapete che spiritualmente siete degli infelici, poveri miserabili, ciechi e nudi. 18 Vi consiglio di comprare da me dellʼoro raffinato col fuoco, soltanto così sarete davvero ricchi! E delle vesti bianche e pulite da indossare, così non vi vergognerete più di essere nudi; e di prendere da me il collirio per guarirvi gli occhi e riacquistare la vista. 19 Io rimprovero e castigo tutti quelli che amo, perciò devo punirvi, a meno che non rinunciate alla vostra indifferenza e riacquistiate entusiasmo per il Signore!
20 Ecco io sto alla porta e continuo a bussare. Se uno sente la mia voce e mi apre, io entrerò e ceneremo insieme, io con lui e lui con me. 21 Vicino a me, sul trono, farò sedere i vincitori, come anchʼio ho vinto e mi sono seduto insieme col Padre mio sul suo trono. 22 Chi può udire, ascolti ciò che lo Spirito dice alle chiese”.»

New International Version
To the Church in Laodicea
14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea(A) write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness,(B) the ruler of God’s creation.(C) 15 I know your deeds,(D) that you are neither cold nor hot.(E) I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’(F) But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.(G) 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire,(H) so you can become rich; and white clothes(I) to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness;(J) and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.(K) So be earnest and repent.(L) 20 Here I am! I stand at the door(M) and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,(N) I will come in(O) and eat with that person, and they with me.
21 To the one who is victorious,(P) I will give the right to sit with me on my throne,(Q) just as I was victorious(R) and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear(S) what the Spirit says to the churches.”
