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.”

14 At sa anghel ng iglesia sa Laodicea ay isulat mo: Ang mga bagay na ito ay sinasabi ng Siya Nawa, ng saksing tapat at totoo, ng pasimula ng paglalang ng Dios:

15 Nalalaman ko ang iyong mga gawa, na ikaw ay hindi malamig o mainit man: ibig ko sanang ikaw ay malamig o mainit.

16 Kaya sapagka't ikaw ay malahininga, at hindi mainit o malamig man, ay isusuka kita sa aking bibig.

17 Sapagka't sinasabi mo, Ako'y mayaman, at nagkamit ng kayamanan, at hindi ako nangangailangan ng anoman; at hindi mo nalalamang ikaw ang aba at maralita at dukha at bulag at hubad:

18 Ipinapayo ko sa iyo na ikaw ay bumili sa akin ng gintong dinalisay ng apoy, upang ikaw ay yumaman: at ng mapuputing damit, upang iyong maisuot, at upang huwag mahayag ang iyong kahiyahiyang kahubaran; at ng pangpahid sa mata, na ipahid sa iyong mga mata, upang ikaw ay makakita.

19 Ang lahat kong iniibig, ay aking sinasaway at pinarurusahan: ikaw nga'y magsikap, at magsisi.

20 Narito ako'y nakatayo sa pintuan at tumutuktok: kung ang sinoman ay duminig ng aking tinig at magbukas ng pinto, ako'y papasok sa kaniya, at hahapong kasalo niya, at siya'y kasalo ko.

21 Ang magtagumpay, ay aking pagkakaloobang umupong kasama ko sa aking luklukan, gaya ko naman na nagtagumpay, at umupong kasama ng aking Ama sa kaniyang luklukan.

22 Ang may pakinig, ay makinig sa sinasabi ng Espiritu sa mga iglesia.

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.
