Apocalipsis 3:16

16 pero ya que eres tibio, ni frío ni caliente, ¡te escupiré 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 Mensaje a la iglesia de Laodicea

15 »Yo sé todo lo que haces, que no eres ni frío ni caliente. ¡Cómo quisiera que fueras lo uno o lo otro!;

16 pero ya que eres tibio, ni frío ni caliente, ¡te escupiré de mi boca!

17 Tú dices: “Soy rico, tengo todo lo que quiero, ¡no necesito nada!”. Y no te das cuenta que eres un infeliz y un miserable; eres pobre, ciego y estás desnudo.

18 Así que te aconsejo que de mí compres oro —un oro purificado por fuego— y entonces serás rico. Compra también ropas blancas de mí, así no tendrás vergüenza por tu desnudez, y compra ungüento para tus ojos, para que así puedas ver.
