"And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,'These things 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 could wish you were cold or hot.
16
So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
17
Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'--and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked--
18
I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
19
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous 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 dine with him, and he with Me.
21
To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." ' "
