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.’”
