I ¹  turned to see whose voice was speaking to me, ²  and when I did so, ³  I saw seven golden lampstands,

I ¹  have given her time to repent, but ²  she is not willing to repent of her sexual immorality.

‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. ¹  I wish you were either cold or hot!

So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going ¹  to vomit ²  you out of my mouth!

So ¹  I began weeping bitterly ²  because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

They will never go hungry or be thirsty again, and the sun will not beat down on them, nor any burning heat, ¹ 

And I will grant my two witnesses authority ¹  to prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.

The one who conquers ¹  will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits ¹  according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s. ² 

Its gates will never be closed during the day ¹  (and ²  there will be no night there). ³
