Revelation 3:11-22

111I am coming quickly; 2hold firmly to what you have, so that no one will take your 3crown. 124The one 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. 1310The one 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 15Origin 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 vomit you out of My mouth. 17Because you say, “18I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have no need of anything,” and you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked, 18I advise you to 19buy from Me 20gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and 21white garments so that you may clothe yourself and 22the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to apply to your eyes so that you may see. 1923Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and 24repent. 20Behold, I stand 25at the door and 26knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, 27I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. 2128The one who overcomes, I will grant to him 29to sit with Me on My throne, as 30I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne. 2231The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
