For, if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection; read more.

"And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write these things," saith He Who hath the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: "I know your works, that you have a name that you are living, and you are dead. Become watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your works complete before My God.

And already the axe also is lying at the root of the trees; every tree, therefore, not producing good fruit, is cut down, and cast into the fire."

So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spew you out of My mouth. Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing'; and do not know that you are the wretched one, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked!
