Apocalipsis 3:16

16 'Así, puesto que eres tibio, y no frío ni caliente, te vomitaré de mi boca.

Apocalipsis 3:16 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 3:16

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,
&c.] A lukewarm professor is one that serves God and mammon; that halts between two opinions, and knows not what religion is best, and cares little for any, yet keeps in a round of duty, though indifferent to it, and contents himself with it; and is un concerned about the life and power of godliness, and takes up with the external form of it; and has no thought about the glory of God, the interest of Christ and truth; and this was too much the case of this church, at least of a great number of its members; wherefore it was very loathsome to Christ, hence he threatens:

I will spew thee out of my mouth;
this shows how nauseous lukewarmness is to Christ, insomuch that on account of it he would not own and acknowledge her as his; but even cast her out, unchurch her, and have no more any such imperfect church state upon earth, as he afterwards never will, this is the last; nor is there any church state, or any remains of one in Laodicea; it is indeed quite uninhabited.

Apocalipsis 3:16 In-Context

14 Y escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Laodicea: "El Amén, el Testigo fiel y verdadero, el Principio de la creación de Dios, dice esto:

15 'Yo conozco tus obras, que ni eres frío ni caliente. ¡Ojalá fueras frío o caliente!

16 'Así, puesto que eres tibio, y no frío ni caliente, te vomitaré de mi boca.

17 'Porque dices: "Soy rico, me he enriquecido y de nada tengo necesidad"; y no sabes que eres un miserable y digno de lástima, y pobre, ciego y desnudo,

18 te aconsejo que de mí compres oro refinado por fuego para que te hagas rico, y vestiduras blancas para que te vistas y no se manifieste la verguenza de tu desnudez, y colirio para ungir tus ojos para que puedas ver.
