Revelation 3:20-22
New English Translation

20 Listen![a] I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home[b] and share a meal with him, and he with me. 21 I will grant the one[c] who conquers[d] permission[e] to sit with me on my throne, just as I too conquered[f] and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”

Footnotes

  1. Revelation 3:20 tn Grk “Behold.”
  2. Revelation 3:20 tn Grk “come in to him.”sn The expression in Greek does not mean entrance into the person, as is popularly taken, but entrance into a room or building toward the person. See ExSyn 380-82. Some interpreters understand the door here to be the door to the Laodicean church, and thus a collective or corporate image rather than an individual one.
  3. Revelation 3:21 tn Grk “The one who conquers, to him I will grant.”
  4. Revelation 3:21 tn Or “who is victorious”; traditionally, “who overcomes.”
  5. Revelation 3:21 tn Grk “I will give [grant] to him.”
  6. Revelation 3:21 tn Or “have been victorious”; traditionally, “have overcome.”
