14. “Write this to the angel of the church in Laodicea:“The Amen is the One who is the faithful and true witness. He is the ruler of all that God has made. He says this to you:
15. I know what you do. You are not hot or cold. I wish that you were hot or cold!
16. But you are only warm—not hot, not cold. So I am ready to spit you out of my mouth.
17. You say you are rich. You think you have become wealthy and do not need anything. But you do not know that you are really miserable, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.
18. I advise you to buy gold from me—gold made pure in fire. Then you can be truly rich. Buy from me clothes that are white. Then you can cover your shameful nakedness. Buy from me medicine to put on your eyes. Then you can truly see.
19. “I correct and punish those whom I love. So be eager to do right. Change your hearts and lives.
20. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him. And he will eat with me.
21. “He who wins the victory will sit with me on my throne. It was the same with me. I won the victory and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22. Everyone who has ears should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.”
