8"I know your works. Look, I don put open door for your front wey nobody fit shut, because you get small power, yet you keep my word and you no deny my name. 9I go make some people from Satan synagogue—wey dey call themselves Jews but dem no be; dem dey lie—I go make dem come and bow for your leg front, and know say I don love you. 10Because you keep my word of endurance, I too go keep you comot from di hour of trial wey dey come on di whole world to test dem wey dey live for earth. 11I dey come soon. Hold tight wetin you get, so that nobody go seize your crown. 12Di person wey conquer, I go make am pillar for my Papa temple, and e no go ever comot from there. For im body I go write my Papa name, and di name of my Papa city, di new Jerusalem wey dey come down comot from heaven from my Papa, and my new name. a a v12 Wen Jesus dey talk about God for here, e dey name di Papa — di one wey send am, wey im dey build im temple, wey im city dey come down from heaven. 13Anybody wey get ear, make e hear wetin di Holy Spirit dey talk to di churches.

15"I know your works: you no dey cold, you no dey hot. I for wish say you dey cold or you dey hot! 16So, because you dey lukewarm—you no dey hot, you no dey cold—I dey near to spit you comot from my mouth. 17Because you dey talk say, 'I get money, I don rich well-well, and I no need anything,' but you no know say you be wretched person, person wey suppose pain belle, poor, blind, and naked. 18I dey advise you: buy from me gold wey fire don refine, so that you go rich; white cloth to wear, so that your naked shame no go show; and ointment for your eye, so that you go fit see. 19Dem wey I love, na dem I dey correct and discipline. So make you dey serious and repent. 20Look! I stand dey knock for di door. Anybody wey hear my voice and open di door, I go enter come meet am, chop with am, and e go chop with me. 21Di person wey conquer, I go make am sidon with me for my throne, just like how I too conquer and sidon with my Papa for im throne. 22Anybody wey get ear, make e hear wetin di Holy Spirit dey talk to di churches."
