“The ^•Amen, ^qthe faithful and true Witness, the Originator ^r^sof God’s creation says: ¹⁵I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. ¹⁶So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit ^tyou out of My mouth. ¹⁷Because you say, ‘I’m rich; I have become wealthy and need nothing,’ ^uand you don’t know that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked, ¹⁸I advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire so that you may be rich, ^vwhite clothes so that you may be dressed and your shameful nakedness not be exposed, ^wand ointment to spread on your eyes so that you may see. ¹⁹As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. ^xSo be committed ^yand repent. ²⁰Listen! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and have dinner with him, and he with Me. ^z²¹The victor: I will give him the right to sit with Me on My throne, ^ajust as I also won the victory and sat down with My Father on His throne.

²²“Anyone who has an ear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Read in Logos
