"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation.
15
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!
16
So, because you are lukewarm - neither hot nor cold - I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
17
You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
18
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
19
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
20
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
21
To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
