² Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. ³ Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent.^(A) But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief,^(B) and you will not know at what time^(C) I will come to you.

¹⁵ I know your deeds,^(A) that you are neither cold nor hot.^(B) 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.’^(C) But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.^{(D) 18} I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire,^(E) so you can become rich; and white clothes^(F) to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness;^(G) and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
