Revelation of John 3:14-22

To the Church in Laodicea

14And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the aAmen, bthe faithful and true witness, cthe beginning of God’s creation.

15“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. dWould that you were either cold or hot! 16So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. 17 eFor you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, fblind, and naked. 18I counsel you gto buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and hwhite garments so that you may clothe yourself and ithe shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, jso that you may see. 19 kThose whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. 20Behold, I stand at the door and lknock. mIf anyone hears my voice and opens the door, nI will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21 oThe one who conquers, pI will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as qI also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 rHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
