Revelation 3:14-22

New Century Version

To the Church in Laodicea

¹⁴ “Write this to the angel of the church in Laodicea:

“The Amen,^[a] the faithful and true witness, the ruler of all God has made, says this: ¹⁵ I know what you do, that you are not hot or cold. I wish that you were hot or cold! ¹⁶ But because you are lukewarm—neither hot, nor cold—I am ready to spit you out of my mouth. ¹⁷ You say, ‘I am rich, and I have become wealthy and do not need anything.’ But you do not know that you are really miserable, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. ¹⁸ I advise you to buy from me gold made pure in fire so you can be truly rich. Buy from me white clothes so you can be clothed and so you can cover your shameful nakedness. Buy from me medicine to put on your eyes so you can truly see.

¹⁹ “I correct and punish those whom I love. So be eager to do right, and change your hearts and lives. ²⁰ Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and eat with you, and you will eat with me.

²¹ “Those who win the victory will sit with me on my throne in the same way that I won the victory and sat down with my Father on his throne. ²² Everyone who has ears should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.”
