"Temperature Words" in the New Testament

HOT/FERVENT and COLD/REFRESHING
Also: Warm and Lukewarm

NOTE: The "temperature" words used in these verses are also found in some other passages. But there probably isn't much "spiritual impact" in meditating on the fact that "it was cold outside," or other such statements!

At the end of each section will be the New Testament Greek words that are focused on in that section. Feel free to IGNORE them, if you prefer the English language!
