16. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I’m about to spit you out of my mouth.
17. After all, you say, ‘I’m rich, and I’ve grown wealthy, and I don’t need a thing.’ You don’t realize that you are miserable, pathetic, poor, blind, and naked.
18. My advice is that you buy gold from me that has been purified by fire so that you may be rich, and white clothing to wear so that your nakedness won’t be shamefully exposed, and ointment to put on your eyes so that you may see.
19. I correct and discipline those whom I love. So be earnest and change your hearts and lives.
