Revelation 3:17-18 Display Chapter and Footnotes   17 Because you say, 'I am rich and increased with possessions, and am in need of nothing;' and do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked,5 [From the Word of the Lord within: "I work with the blind; but if you think you can see, and you are not with me in heaven, I will make you a laughingstock."] 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined and tried in the fire, so that you may be rich; and white garments, so that you may be clothed and the shame of your nakedness may not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, so that you may see. [Gold refined and tried in the fire is faith that has been tested and tried by fire: trials, suffering, and tribulations are all part of the cross that every believer must endure in order to enter the kingdom; then you are clothed white with purity, and you see by the light of God.] | Revelation 19:7-8 Display Chapter and Footnotes   7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him.
