Revelation 3:14-22

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Write To Laodicea: You Are Lukewarm. Get What You Need From Me. Repent

¹⁴ “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea, write— These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning^[a] of the creation of God. ¹⁵ I know your works: that you are neither cold nor hot. O-that you were cold or hot. ¹⁶ So because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am about-to spew you out of My mouth. ¹⁷ Because you say that “I am a rich one, and I have become-rich, and I have a need for nothing”, and you do not know that you are the one wretched and pitiable and poor and blind and naked— ¹⁸ I counsel you to buy from Me gold having been refined by fire in order that you may become-rich, and white garments in order that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed, and eye-salve to rub-in your eyes in order that you may see. ¹⁹ I rebuke and discipline^[b] all whom I love. Therefore be zealous, and repent. ²⁰ Behold— I stand at the door. And I am knocking. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I also^[c] will come-in to him. And I will have-dinner with him, and he with Me. ²¹ The one overcoming— I will give him authority to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. ²² Let the one having an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches”.
