9Behold,—I—give—them—of—the—synagogue—of—Satan,—who—say—they—are—Jews,—and—are—not,—but—lie.—Behold,—I—will—make—them—to—come—and—worship—before—your—feet—and—to—knowᵍ—that—I—have—loved—you.—
10Because—you—have—kept—the—word—of—my—patience,—I—also—will—keep—you—from—the—hour—of—testing,—which—is—about—to—come—upon—the—whole—inhabited-world,—to—test—those—who—dwell—on—the—earth.—
11I—come—quickly:—hold—fast—what—you—have,—that—none—take—your—crown.—
12Him—who—overcomes—will—I—make—a—pillar—in—the—temple—of—my—God,—and—he—will—go—out—no—more,—and—I—will—write—on—him—the—name—of—my—God,—and—the—name—of—the—city—of—my—God,—the—new—Jerusalem,—which—comes—down—out—of—heaven—from—my—God,—and—my—new—name.—
13He—who—has—an—ear,—let—him—hear—what—the—Spirit—says—unto—the—churches.—
14And—unto—the—messenger—of—the—church—in—Laodicea—write:—These—things—says—the—Amen,—the—faithful—and—true—witness,—the—beginning—of—the—creation—of—God;—
15I—know—your—works,—that—you—are—neither—cold—nor—hot.—I—would—you—were—cold—or—hot.—
16So,—because—you—are—lukewarm—and—neither—hot—nor—cold,—I—am—about—to—vomit—you—out—of—my—mouth.—
17Because—you—say,—I—am—rich,—and—have—grown—rich,—and—have—need—of—nothing,—and—know—not—that—you—are—wretched,—and—miserable,—and—poor,—and—blind,—and—naked:—
18I—counsel—you—to—buy—from—me—gold—fired—by—fire,—that—you—may—grow—rich;—and—white—garments,—that—you—may—be—clothed—and—that—the—shame—of—your—nakedness—be—not—made—manifest;—and—eyesalve—to—anoint—your—eyes,—that—you—may—see.—
19As—many—as—I—hold—dear,—I—rebuke—and—chasten:—be—zealous—therefore—and—repent.—
20Behold,—I—stand—at—the—door—and—knock:—if—any—man—hears—my—voice—and—opens—the—door,—[and]—I—will—enter—unto—him,—and—will—sup—with—him,—and—he—with—me.—
21Unto—him—who—overcomes—will—I—give—to—sit—with—me—in—my—throne,—as—I—also—overcame—and—sat—down—with—my—Father—in—his—throne.—
22He—who—has—an—ear,—let—him—hear—what—the—Spirit—says—unto—the—churches.—
