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

NET Notes

1 tn Or “I intend.”

2 tn This is the literal meaning of the Greek verb ἐμέω (emew). It is usually translated with a much weaker term like “spit out” due to the unpleasant connotations of the English verb “vomit,” as noted by L&N 23.44. The situation confronting the Laodicean church is a dire one, however, and such a term is necessary if the modern reader is to understand the gravity of the situation.
