To the Church in Laodicea

14 "To the angel of the church in Laodicea¹ write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness,² the ruler of God's creation.³ 15 I know your deeds,⁴ that you are neither cold nor hot.⁵ 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.'⁶ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.⁷ 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire,⁸ so you can become rich; and white clothes⁹ to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness;¹⁰ and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. 19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.¹¹ So be earnest, and repent.¹² 20 Here I am! I stand at the door¹³ and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,¹⁴ I will come in¹⁵ and eat with him, and he with me. 21 To him who overcomes,¹⁶ I will give the right to sit with me on my throne,¹⁷ just as I overcame¹⁸ and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear¹⁹ what the Spirit says to the churches."
