“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”
So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth — the imagery of vomiting (emesai) expresses Christ's disgust at half-hearted discipleship; the phrase echoes Isaiah 26:11 and frames rejection as inevitable judgment. Lukewarmness merits expulsion from Christ's mouth (the place of his word and authority).
