3:20Listen!66 I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home67 and share a meal with him, and he with me. 3:21I will grant the one68 who conquers69 permission70 to sit with me on my throne, just as I too conquered71 and sat down with my Father on his throne. 3:22The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’ ”
Footnotes
- 66 Grk “Behold.”
- 67 Grk “come in to him.” The expression in Greek does not mean entrance into the person, as is popularly taken, but entrance into a room or building toward the person. See . Some interpreters understand the door here to be the door to the Laodicean church, and thus a collective or corporate image rather than an individual one.
- 68 Grk “The one who conquers, to him I will grant.”
- 69 Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”
- 70 Grk “I will give [grant] to him.”
- 71 Or “have been victorious”; traditionally, “have overcome.”
