I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot.

I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them to be liars;

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, These things says He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens:

For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many opposing.

Because you have kept the Word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

Behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the Prophecy of this Book.

He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and make Myself known to him.

But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Who is a liar but he who denies, saying that Jesus is not the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father.
