10. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the entire world, to try those that dwell upon the earth.
11. Behold, I come quickly; hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown.
12. He that overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more, and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God which is the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from and with my God, and I will write upon him my new name.
13. He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}.
14. And unto the angel of the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of the Laodiceans write; Behold, he who saith, Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:
15. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.
16. So then because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17. Because thou sayest, I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing and knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked,
18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined in the fire, that thou may be made rich; and clothed in white raiment, so that the shame of thy nakedness not be uncovered; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou may see.
19. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous therefore, and repent.
20. Behold, I stand at the door and call; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and will sup with him, and he with me.
21. To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame and have sat down with my Father in his throne.
22. He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the congregations {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}.
