11. Behold, I am approaching quickly. Hold on to what you have, so that no one may take your crown.
12. Whoever prevails, I will set him as a column in the temple of my God, and he shall not depart from it anymore. And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that descends out of heaven from my God, and my new name.
13. Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
14. And to the Angel of the Church of Laodicea write: Thus says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, who is the Beginning of the creation of God:
15. I know your works: that you are neither cold, nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot.
16. But because you are lukewarm and are neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth.
17. For you declare, 'I am wealthy, and I have been enriched further, and I have need of nothing.' And you do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
18. I urge you to buy from me gold, tested by fire, so that you may be enriched and may be clothed in white vestments, and so that the shame of your nakedness may disappear. And anoint your eyes with an eye salve, so that you may see.
19. Those whom I love, I rebuke and chastise. Therefore, be zealous and do penance.
20. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone will hear my voice and will open the door to me, I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with me.
