14“To the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in 1LaodiceaG2993 writeG1125:
2The AmenG281, 3the faithfulG4103 and trueG228 WitnessG3144, 4the 5BeginningG746 of the creationG2937 of GodG2316, saysG3004 thisG3592:
15‘6I knowG3609 your deedsG2041, that you are neitherG3777 coldG5593 norG3777 hotG2200; 7I wishG3785 that you were coldG5593 orG2228 hotG2200. 16SoG3779 becauseG3754 you are lukewarmG5513, and neitherG3777 hotG2200 norG3777 coldG5593, I willG3195 8spitG1692 you out of My mouthG4750. 17BecauseG3754 you sayG3004, “9I amG1510 richG4145, and have becomeG4147 wealthyG4147, and haveG2192 needG5532 of nothingG3762,” and you do not knowG3609 that you are wretchedG5005 and miserableG1652 and poorG4434 and blindG5185 and nakedG1131, 18I adviseG4823 you to 10buyG59 from Me 11goldG5553 refinedG4448 by fireG4442 soG2443 that you may becomeG4147 richG4147, and 12whiteG3022 garmentsG2440 soG2443 that you may clotheG4016 yourself, and that 13the shameG152 of your nakednessG1132 will not be revealedG5319; and eyeG2854 salveG2854 to anointG1472 your eyesG3788 soG2443 that you may seeG991. 1914ThoseG3745 whomG3745 I loveG5368, I reproveG1651 and disciplineG3811; thereforeG3767 be zealousG2205 and 15repentG3340. 20BeholdG2400, I standG2476 16at the doorG2374 and 17knockG2925; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 hearsG191 My voiceG5456 and opensG455 the doorG2374, 18I will comeG1525 in to him and will dineG1172 with him, and he with Me.
