14. Also to the angel of the ecclesia of Laodiceans write: These things saith the Amen, the Witness faithful and true, the Beginning of the creation of the Deity: 15. I have known thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot. Would that thou wert cold or hot!

16. Thus because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit thee out of my mouth.

17. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have abounded in wealth, and have need of nothing, and hast not known that thou art the wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked one.

18. I counsel thee to buy from me gold which has been refined by fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white garments, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be apparent; and anoint thine eyes with salve, that thou mayest see.

19. Whomsoever I love I discipline and admonish; be zealous, therefore, and change.

20. Behold, I have stood at the door, and I knock: if any one may hear my voice, and open the door, I will enter in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21. The victor, I will give to him to sit with me on my throne, as I also vanquish and sit with my Father on his throne.

22. He that hath an ear let him hearken to what the Spirit saith to the ecclesias.
