Those I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
In context
17You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing,’ and you do not realize that you are the wretched one — pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. 18I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich; and white clothes to wear, so that the shame of your nakedness will not be exposed; and salve to put on your eyes, so that you may see. 19Those I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20Look, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me. 21To the one who conquers I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
