요한계시록 3
Korean Living Bible
사데 교회
3 “사데 교회의 지도자에게 이 편지를 써서 보내라. ‘하나님의 일곱 영과 일곱 별을 가진 이가 말한다: 나는 네 행위를 알고 있다. 네가 살았다는 이름은 가졌으나 사실 죽은 거나 다름이 없다.
2 그러므로 너는 깨어서 죽게 된 나머지 부분을 강하게 하라. 네 행위가 하나님 앞에서 완전하지 못하다.
3 그러니 네가 받은 것과 들은 것을 기억에 되살려 그것을 지키고 회개하라. 만일 네가 정신을 차리지 않으면 내가 도둑같이 가겠다. 너는 언제 내가 너에게 갈지 알지 못할 것이다.
4 그러나 사데에는 죄악에 물들지 않은 사람이 몇 있다. 그들은 자격을 갖추었기 때문에 흰 옷을 입고 나와 함께 다닐 것이다.
5 신앙의 승리자는 이와 같이 흰 옷을 입을 것이며 나는 그의 이름을 생명책에서 절대로 지우지 않고 내 아버지 앞과 그의 천사들 앞에서 인정할 것이다.
6 귀 있는 사람은 성령님이 여러 교회에 하시는 말씀을 들어라.’ ”
필라델피아 교회
7 “필라델피아 교회의 지도자에게 이 편지를 써서 보내라. ‘거룩하고 참되며 다윗의 열쇠를 가진 이, 곧 열면 닫을 사람이 없고 닫으면 열 사람이 없는 이가 말한다:
8 나는 네 행위를 알고 있다. 내가 네 앞에 열린 문을 두었으니 이것은 아무도 닫을 수 없는 문이다. 너는 적은 능력을 가지고도 내 말을 지키며 나를 배반하지 않았다.
9 유대인이 아니면서도 유대인이라고 주장하며 거짓말하는 사탄의 집단에 속한 사람들이 와서 네 발 앞에 절하게 하여 내가 너를 사랑한다는 것을 알도록 하겠다.
10 네가 인내하라는 내 명령을 지켰으니 나도 너를 지켜 지상에 사는 사람들을 시험하기 위해 온 세상에 닥칠 고난을 당하지 않게 해 주겠다.
11 내가 속히 가겠다. 네가 가진 것을 굳게 잡아 아무도 너의 면류관을 빼앗지 못하게 하라.
12 신앙의 승리자는 내가 하나님의 성전 기둥을 삼을 것이니 그가 다시는 성전을 떠나지 않을 것이다. 내가 그에게 내 하나님의 이름과 하나님의 성, 곧 하늘로부터 내 하나님에게서 내려오는 새 예루살렘의 이름을 기록하고 또 나의 새 이름을 그에게 기록할 것이다.
13 귀 있는 사람은 성령님이 여러 교회에 하시는 말씀을 들어라.’ ”
라오디게아 교회
14 “라오디게아 교회의 지도자에게 이 편지를 써서 보내라. ‘아멘이요 충성스러운 참된 증인이며 하나님의 창조의 시작이 되는 이가 말한다:
15 나는 네 행위를 알고 있다. 너는 차지도 않고 덥지도 않다. 네가 차든지 덥든지 하기를 원한다.
16 이와 같이 네가 미지근하여 덥지도 않고 차지도 않으므로 내가 너를 내 입에서 뱉어내겠다.
17 너는 부자라서 부요하여 부족한 것이 없다고 말하지만 네 자신이 비참하고 불쌍하고 가난하고 눈멀고 벌거벗은 사실을 모르고 있다.
18 그러므로 내가 너에게 권한다. 너는 내게서 불에 정련된 금을 사서 부요해지고 흰 옷을 사서 입고 벌거벗은 수치를 가리며 안약을 사서 바르고 눈을 떠라.
19 나는 내가 사랑하는 사람을 책망하고 징계한다. 그러므로 너는 열심을 내고 회개하라.
20 보라, 내가 밖에 서서 문을 두드리고 있다. 누구든지 내 음성을 듣고 문을 열면 내가 그에게 들어가서 그와 함께 먹고 그는 나와 함께 먹을 것이다.
21 신앙의 승리자에게는 내가 승리자가 되어 아버지의 보좌에 함께 앉은 것과 같이 나의 보좌에 함께 앉도록 하겠다.
22 귀 있는 사람은 성령님이 여러 교회에 하시는 말씀을 들어라.’ ”

The Dead Church
3 “And to the [a]angel of the church in Sardis write,
‘These things says He who (A)has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before [b]God. 3 (B)Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and (C)repent. (D)Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you (E)as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. 4 [c]You have (F)a few names [d]even in Sardis who have not (G)defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me (H)in white, for they are worthy. 5 He who overcomes (I)shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not (J)blot out his name from the (K)Book of Life; but (L)I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
6 (M)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
The Faithful Church
7 “And to the [e]angel of the church in Philadelphia write,
‘These things says (N)He who is holy, (O)He who is true, (P)“He who has the key of David, (Q)He who opens and no one shuts, and (R)shuts and no one opens”: 8 (S)“I know your works. See, I have set before you (T)an open door, [f]and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make (U)those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed (V)I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept [g]My command to persevere, (W)I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon (X)the whole world, to test those who dwell (Y)on the earth. 11 [h]Behold, (Z)I am coming quickly! (AA)Hold fast what you have, that no one may take (AB)your crown. 12 He who overcomes, I will make him (AC)a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall (AD)go out no more. (AE)I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the (AF)New Jerusalem, which (AG)comes down out of heaven from My God. (AH)And I will write on him My new name.
13 (AI)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
The Lukewarm Church
14 “And to the [i]angel of the church [j]of the Laodiceans write,
(AJ)‘These things says the Amen, (AK)the Faithful and True Witness, (AL)the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 (AM)“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither [k]cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, (AN)‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you (AO)to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and (AP)white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 (AQ)As many as I love, I rebuke and (AR)chasten.[l] Therefore be [m]zealous and repent. 20 Behold, (AS)I stand at the door and knock. (AT)If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, (AU)I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes (AV)I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 (AW)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ”

Revelation 3
King James Version
3 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 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:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
