3:18 Jesus’ prescription for Laodicea required a complete change of attitude from self-reliance to dependence on God.
• buy gold from me: Materially, they could buy whatever they wanted, but they needed to acquire the treasures of heaven so they would have spiritual riches through faith in Christ.
• purified by fire: While material wealth will not withstand God’s purging by fire (cp. 1 Cor 3:12-15), spiritual wealth has eternal value.
• White garments represent spiritual purity. Black wool cloth and garments were prized exports of the city of Laodicea. This famous black wool cloth was a source of Laodicea’s material wealth; it probably represents the Laodiceans’ proud and unredeemed spiritual condition.
• Laodicea’s material prosperity was also due to their well-known Phrygian eye ointment, which may have been used there in the eye clinic associated with the famed physician Demosthenes Philalethes. The Laodiceans needed to buy ointment from Christ through faith. Only his eye salve would enable them to see their sin and repent.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἀγοράσαι παρ’ ἐμοῦ χρυσίον πεπυρωμένον ἐκ πυρὸς, ἵνα πλουτήσῃς
/to/_buy from me gold /having_been/_refined by fire in_order_that ˱you˲_/may/_be_rich
Jesus is speaking as if he wants the believers in Laodicea literally to buy gold from him. He is using gold to symbolize spiritual riches, meaning things such as a profound knowledge of God and a life transformed into the image of Christ. When Jesus says that this gold is refined by fire, he means that it is pure gold, that is, genuine wealth; by contrast, the riches that the Laodiceans have are not true riches. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to seek genuine spiritual riches from me so that you will be truly wealthy”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
χρυσίον πεπυρωμένον ἐκ πυρὸς
gold /having_been/_refined by fire
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “gold that fire has refined”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

clothes white in_order_that ˱you˲_/may/_clothe_‹yourself› and not /may_be/_revealed the shame ˱of˲_the nakedness ˱of˲_you
Jesus is speaking as if he wants the believers in Pergamum literally to buy white garments from him. As in 3:4, white clothing symbolizes purity of life and devotion to Jesus. Accordingly, nakedness symbolizes a sinful life and indifference towards Jesus. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to seek my help in being devoted to me so that you will live a pure life and not be shamefully disobedient”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
μὴ φανερωθῇ
not /may_be/_revealed
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “might not appear”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
κολλούριον ἐγχρῖσαι τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου, ἵνα βλέπῃς
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: συμβουλεύω σοι ἀγοράσαι παρʼ ἐμοῦ χρυσίον πεπυρωμένον ἐκ πυρὸς ἵνα πλουτήσῃς καὶ ἱμάτια λευκὰ ἵνα περιβάλῃ καὶ μὴ φανερωθῇ ἡ αἰσχύνη τῆς γυμνότητός σου καὶ κολλύριον ἐγχρῖσαι τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου ἵνα βλέπῃς)
Jesus is speaking as if he wants the believers in Pergamum literally to buy salve from him to anoint their eyes. He said in the previous verse that they were “blind,” and this likely symbolized their lack of spiritual discernment. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to seek my help in becoming spiritually discerning”
