Wake up and strengthen what remains, but is about to die, because I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God.

Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard. Obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come against you.

The one who conquers, I will make like a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem, that comes down out of heaven from my God), and my new name.
13 Mueihla loh hlangboel rhoek taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”'”

So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Kuirhang la ka om tih ka khuehtawn coeng dongah ka ngoe pawh tila na thui. Tedae ngaidaeng ngaikha neh lungmasingta la, khodaeng mikdael neh a tlingyal la na om te na ming moenih.
For you say, 'I am rich, I have had many material possessions, and I need nothing.' But you do not know that you are most miserable, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
18 Hmai loh a rhoh sui te lai hamla kamah lamloh nang kang uen. Te daengah ni na khuehtawn thai eh. Himbai bok neh na khuk daengah ni na tlingyal kah yahpohnah te a phoe pawt eh. Na mik te miksi han toi daengah ni na hmuh thai eh.
Listen to my advice: Buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and brilliant white garments so you may clothe yourself and not show the shame of your nakedness, and salve to anoint your eyes so you will see.
19 Kai loh ka lungnah atah muep ka toeltham tih ka ueih sak. Thatlai tangloeng lamtah yut laeh.
I train everyone whom I love, and I teach them how they should live. Therefore, be earnest and repent.

Look, I am standing at the door and am knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into his home and will eat with him, and he with me.
21 Kai khaw ka noeng tih amah kah ngolkhoel dongkah a pa taengah ka ngol bangla aka noeng long tah ka ngolkhoel sokah kamah taengah ngol ham ka paek ni.
The one who conquers, I will give him the right to sit down with me on my throne, just as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 Mueihla loh hlangboel taengah a thui te hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti.
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”'”
