11 I am coming soon. So hold firmly to what you have, and no one will take away the crown you will be given as your reward.
12 Everyone who wins the victory will be made into a pillar in the temple of my God, and they will stay there forever. I will write on each of them the name of my God and the name of his city. It is the new Jerusalem my God will send down from heaven. I will also write on them my own new name.
13 If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.
14 This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Laodicea:I am the one called Amen! I am the faithful and true witness and the source of God's creation. Listen to what I say.
15 I know everything you have done, and you are not cold or hot. I wish you were either one or the other.
16 But since you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my mouth.
17 You claim to be rich and successful and to have everything you need. But you don't know how bad off you really are. You are pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.
