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.
