Revelation 3:14-22
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.”
启示录 3:14-22

給老底嘉教會的信
14 “你要寫信給在老底嘉教會的使者,說:
‘那位阿們的,忠信真實的見證人, 神創造萬有的根源,這樣說: 15 我知道你的行為,你不冷也不熱;我巴不得你或冷或熱。 16 因為你好像溫水,不熱也不冷,所以我要把你從我口中吐出去。 17 你說:我是富足的,已經發了財,毫無缺乏。卻不知你是困苦的、可憐的、貧窮的、瞎眼的、赤身的。 18 我勸你向我買精煉的金子,使你富足;又買白衣穿上,使你赤身的羞恥不會顯露出來;也買眼藥膏抹你的眼睛,使你可以看見。 19 凡是我所愛的,我就責備管教;所以你要熱心,也要悔改。 20 看哪!我站在門外敲門;如果有人聽見我的聲音就開門的,我要進到他那裡去,我要跟他在一起,他也要跟我在一起吃飯。 21 得勝的,我必定賜他和我一同坐在我的寶座上,正像我得了勝和我父一同坐在他的寶座上一樣。 22 聖靈向眾教會所說的話,有耳的就應當聽。’”

King James Version
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
