Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

¹⁴ And to the messenger of the congregation that is in Laodicea write: This says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God: ¹⁵ I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would you were cold or hot. ¹⁶ So then, because you are between both and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth – ¹⁷ because you say you are rich and increased with goods, and have need of nothing, and know not how you are wretched and miserable, poor, blind, and naked. ¹⁸ I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire so that you may be rich, and white raiment so that you may be clothed, so that your shameful nakedness does not appear.  And anoint your eyes with eye-salve, so that you may see.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be fervent therefore, and repent. ²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. ²¹ To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit with me in my seat, even as I overcame and have sat with my Father in his seat. ²² Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
