Revelation 3:11-20 English Standard Version (ESV)

11. I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.

12. The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, 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 from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.

13. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

14. “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation.

15. “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot!

16. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.

17. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.

18. I counsel 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 may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.

19. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.

20. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
