Bible. Revelation
3:11. Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no
man take thy crown.
3:12. He that shall overcome, I will make him a pillar in the temple of
my God: and he shall go out no more. And I will write upon him the name
of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which
cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.
3:13. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the
churches.
3:14. And to the angel of the church of Laodicea write: These things
saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, who is the beginning of
the creation of God:
The Amen... that is, the true one, the Truth itself; the Word and Son
of God. The beginning,`ï 'àpxï... that is, the principle, the source,
and the efficient cause of the whole creation.
3:15. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot. I would thou
wert cold or hot.
3:16. But because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will
begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.
3:17. Because thou sayest: I am rich and made wealthy and have need of
nothing: and knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable and poor
and blind and naked.
3:18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold, fire tried, that thou mayest be
made rich and mayest be clothed in white garments: and that the shame of
thy nakedness may not appear. And anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that
thou mayest see.
3:19. Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore and do
penance.
3:20. Behold, I stand at the gate and knock. If any man shall hear my
voice and open to me the door, I will come in to him and will sup with
him: and he with me.
3:21. To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my
throne: as I also have overcome and am set down with my Father in his
throne.
3:22. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the
churches.

The vision of the throne of God, the twenty-four ancients and the four
living creatures.
4:1. Aftengs which must be done hereafter.
4:2. And immediately I was in the spirit. And behold, there was a throne
set in heaven, and upon the throne one sitting.
4:3. And he that sat was to the sight like the jasper and the sardine
stone. And there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like
unto an emerald.
4:4. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the
seats, four and twenty ancients sitting, clothed in white garments. And
on their heads were crowns of gold.
4:5. And from the throne proceeded lightnings and voices and thunders.
And there were seven lamps burning before the throne, which are the
seven Spirits of God.
4:6. And in the sight of the throne was, as it were, a sea of glass like
to crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne,
were four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind.
