Revelation 3:17 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

You keep saying 'I'm doing amazing, I've got everything I need, I'm totally fine on my own' — but you don't even realize you're actually struggling, hurting, empty, completely lost, and have nothing that actually matters.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Thinking you have it all together when you're actually falling apart is the most dangerous place to be.
