9BeholdG2400, I 1will makeG1325 those of 2the synagogueG4864 of SatanG4567, who sayG3004 that they are JewsG2453 and are not, but lieG5574--I will makeG4160 them 3comeG2240 and bowG4352 downG4352 before your feetG4228, and make them knowG1097 that 4I have lovedG25 you. 10BecauseG3754 you have 5keptG5083 6My 7wordG3056 of perseveranceG5281, 8I alsoG2532 will keepG5083 you from the hourG5610 of the 910testingG3986, that hour which isG3195 aboutG3195 toG3195 comeG2064 upon the wholeG3650 1112worldG3625, to 13testG3985 14thoseG3588 who liveG2730 on the earthG1093. 1115I am comingG2064 quicklyG5035; 16holdG2902 firmlyG2902 to whatG3739 you haveG2192, soG2443 thatG2443 noG3367 oneG3367 will takeG2983 your 17crownG4735. 1218The one who overcomesG3528, I will makeG4160 him a 19pillarG4769 in the templeG3485 of My GodG2316, and he will not goG1831 outG1831 from it anymoreG2089; and I will writeG1125 on him the 20nameG3686 of My GodG2316, and 21the nameG3686 of the cityG4172 of My GodG2316, 22the newG2537 JerusalemG2419, which comesG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772 from My GodG2316, and My 23newG2537 nameG3686. 1324The one who hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the churchesG1577.’

14“To the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in 25LaodiceaG2993 writeG1125:

26The AmenG281, 27the faithfulG4103 and trueG228 WitnessG3144, 28the 29OriginG746 of the creationG2937 of GodG2316, saysG3004 thisG3592:

15‘30I knowG3609 your deedsG2041, that you are neitherG3777 coldG5593 norG3777 hotG2200; 31I wishG3785 that you were coldG5593 orG2228 hotG2200. 16SoG3779 becauseG3754 you are lukewarmG5513, and neitherG3777 hotG2200 norG3777 coldG5593, I willG3195 vomitG1692 you out of My mouthG4750. 17BecauseG3754 you sayG3004, “32I amG1510 richG4145, and have becomeG4147 wealthyG4147, and haveG2192 noG3762 needG5532 of anythingG3762,” and you do not knowG3609 that you are wretchedG5005, miserableG1652, poorG4434, blindG5185, and nakedG1131, 18I adviseG4823 you to 33buyG59 from Me 34goldG5553 refinedG4448 by fireG4442 soG2443 thatG2443 you may becomeG4147 richG4147, and 35whiteG3022 garmentsG2440 soG2443 thatG2443 you may clotheG4016 yourself and 36the shameG152 of your nakednessG1132 will not be revealedG5319; and eyeG2854 salveG2854 to applyG1472 to your eyesG3788 soG2443 thatG2443 you may seeG991. 1937ThoseG3745 whomG3745 I loveG5368, I rebukeG1651 and disciplineG3811; thereforeG3767 be zealousG2205 and 38repentG3340. 20BeholdG2400, I standG2476 39at the doorG2374 and 40knockG2925; ifG1437 anyoneG5100 hearsG191 My voiceG5456 and opensG455 the doorG2374, 41I will comeG1525 inG1525 to him and will dineG1172 with him, and he with Me. 2142The one who overcomesG3528, I will grantG1325 to him 43to sitG2523 with Me on My throneG2362, as 44I alsoG2532 overcameG3528 and satG2523 with My FatherG3962 on His throneG2362. 2245The one who hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the churchesG1577.’”
