14 And unto the angel of the church of
the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and
true witness, the beginning of the creation of
God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither
cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then
because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will
spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am
rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and
knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and
blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the
fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest
be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and
anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many
as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the
door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and
open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup
with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I
grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am
set down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.
