← Revelation 3:17 [words of Jesus]	Revelation 3:18 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Revelation 3:19 [words of Jesus] →
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:	I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.	As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
