Revelation 3:11-22
111I am coming quickly; 2hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your 3crown. 124He who overcomes, I will make him a 5pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the 6name of My God, and 7the name of the city of My God, 8the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My 9new name. 1310He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
14“To the angel of the church in 11Laodicea write:
12The Amen, 13the faithful and true Witness, 14the 15Beginning of the creation of God, says this:
15‘16I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; 17I wish that you were cold or hot. 16So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will 18spit you out of My mouth. 17Because you say, “19I 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 20buy from Me 21gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and 22white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that 23the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. 1924Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and 25repent. 20Behold, I stand 26at the door and 27knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, 28I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. 2129He who overcomes, I will grant to him 30to sit down with Me on My throne, as 31I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 2232He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
