Revelation 3:10-22

10Because you have 1kept the word of 2My 3perseverance, 4I also will keep you from the hour of 5 6testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole 7 8world, to 9test 10those who dwell on the earth. 11 11I am coming quickly; 12hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your 13crown. 12 14He who overcomes, I will make him a 15pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the 16name of My God, and 17the name of the city of My God, 18the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My 19new name. 13 20He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

14“To the angel of the church in 21Laodicea write:

22The Amen, 23the faithful and true Witness, 24the 25Beginning of the creation of God, says this:

15‘26I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; 27I wish that you were cold or hot. 16So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will 28spit you out of My mouth. 17Because you say, “29I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, 18I advise you to 30buy from Me 31gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and 32white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that 33the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. 19 34Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and 35repent. 20Behold, I stand 36at the door and 37knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, 38I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. 21 39He who overcomes, I will grant to him 40to sit down with Me on My throne, as 41I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 42He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
