12He who overcomes, I will make him aa pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall bgo out no more. cI will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the dNew Jerusalem, which ecomes down out of heaven from My God. fAnd I will write on him My new name.

14“And to the1angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,a‘These things says the Amen, bthe Faithful and True Witness, cthe Beginning of the creation of God:
15a“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.
16So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither1cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
17Because you say, a‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—
18I counsel you ato buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and bwhite garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
19aAs many as I love, I rebuke and bchasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
20Behold, aI stand at the door and knock. bIf anyone hears My voice and opens the door, cI will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
21To him who overcomes aI will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22a“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ”
