Revelation 3 — Context

16

But because you are lukewarm and are neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth.

17

For you declare, ‘I am wealthy, and I have been enriched further, and I have need of nothing.’ And you do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

18

I urge you to buy from me gold, tested by fire, so that you may be enriched and may be clothed in white vestments, and so that the shame of your nakedness may disappear. And anoint your eyes with an eye salve, so that you may see.

19

Those whom I love, I rebuke and chastise. Therefore, be zealous and do penance.

20

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone will hear my voice and will open the door to me, I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with me.

21

Whoever prevails, I will grant to him to sit with me on my throne, just as I also have overcome and have sat down with my Father on his throne.

22

Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.”
