As was true of those in Laodicea, genuine Christians today need to guard against being unduly influenced, perhaps unconsciously, by the materialistic and pleasure - oriented environment in which they live.
Nagu Laodikea kristlased, nii peavad ka tõelised kristlased tänapäeval olema valvsad, et ümbritsev materialistlik ja lõbuhimuline ühiskond neid liialt ei mõjutaks. See võib juhtuda isegi enese teadmata.
