This verb means to vomit or spew out, whether from illness or disgust. In Revelation 3:16, the risen Christ warns the Laodicean church: "Because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth." The verb conveys visceral rejection—lukewarmness provokes a nauseating response, leading to expulsion. The image is deliberately shocking: spiritual mediocrity is so repulsive to Christ that He will vomit out those who remain in it. The threat aims to provoke repentance.
