OET (OET-LV) Thus, because lukewarm you_are, and neither hot nor cold, I_am_going you to_spit out_of the mouth of_me.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
χλιαρὸς & καὶ οὔτε ψυχρός, οὔτε ζεστὸς
lukewarm & and neither (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὕτως ὅτι χλιαρὸς εἶ καὶ οὔτε ζεστὸς οὔτε ψυχρός μέλλω σε ἐμέσαι ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου)
In this verse, Jesus continues to develop the image of water temperature that he introduced in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [complacent and neither obedient nor disobedient]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μέλλω σε ἐμέσαι ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου
˱I˲_/am/_going you /to/_spit out_of the mouth ˱of˲_me
In the context of this image, when Jesus that says he will spew or spit the Laodiceans out of his mouth, he means that he will reject them. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [I am about to reject you as I would spit out lukewarm water]
3:14-22 The letter to the church in Laodicea castigates lukewarm Christians whose inconsistent lives stand for nothing but themselves. They sicken Christ to the point of his spitting them from his mouth.
OET (OET-LV) Thus, because lukewarm you_are, and neither hot nor cold, I_am_going you to_spit out_of the mouth of_me.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
