Letter to Laodicea: Lukewarmness and the Call to Repent

Revelation 3:14-22

3
Chapter 3
14 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: "These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God." 15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. If only you were cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am about to vomit you out of my mouth. 17 because you say, "I am rich, and I have become rich, and I have no need," and you do not know that you are wretched and pitiable and poor and blind and naked, 18 I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness not be revealed, and eyesalve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. 19 Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline; be zealous therefore and repent. 20 Look, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me. 21 The one overcoming, I will give to him to sit with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
