Откровение 3
Bulgarian Bible
3 До ангела на сардикийската църква пиши: Това казва Оня, Който има седемте Божии духове и седемте звезди: Зная твоите дела, че на име си жив но си мъртъв.
2 Бодърствувай и закрепи останалото, което е било близу до умиране; защото не намерих някои от твоите съвършени пред Моя Бог.
3 Помни, прочее, как си приел и си чул, и пази го и покай се. И тъй, ако не бодърствуваш, ще дойда като крадец; и няма да знаеш в кой час ще дойда върху тебе.
4 Но имаш няколко души в Сардис, които не са осквернили дрехите си и ще ходят с Мене в бели дрехи защото са достойни.
5 Който победи ще се облече така в бели дрехи; и Аз никога няма да излича името му от книгата на живота, но ще изповядам името му пред Отца Си и пред Неговите ангели.
6 Който има ухо, нека слуша що говори Духът към църквите.
7 До ангела на филаделфийската църква пиши: Това казва Светият, истинският, у Когото е Давидовият ключ; който отваря, и никой няма да затвори; и затваря, и никой не отваря.
8 Зная твоите дела. Ето, поставих пред тебе отворени врата, които никой не може да затвори, понеже, имайки само малко сила, пак си упазил Моето слово, и не си се отрекъл от името Ми.
9 Ето, давам ти някои от ония, които са от сатанинската синагога, които наричат себе си юдеи, а не са, но лъжат, 10 Понеже си упазил Моята заповед да търпиш, то Аз ще упазя тебе от времето на изпитанието, което ще дойде върху цялата вселена да изпита ония, които живеят по земята.
11 [Ето] ида скоро; дръж здраво това, което имаш, за да ти не отнеме някой венеца.
12 Който победи, ще го направя стълб в храма на Моя Бог; отгдето няма вече да излезе вън; и ще напиша на него името на Моя Бог, новия Ерусалим, който слиза от небето от Моя Бог; ще напиша и Моето ново име.
13 Който има ухо, нека слуша що говори Духът към църквите.
14 До ангела на лаодикийската църква пиши: Това казва Амин, верният и истински свидетел, начинателят на всичко, което Бог е създал.
15 Зная делата ти, че не си студен нито топъл. Дано да беше ти студен, или топъл.
16 Така, понеже си хладък, нито топъл, нито студен, ще те повърна из устата Си.
17 Понеже казваш: Богат съм, забогатях и нямам нужда от нищо, а не знаеш, че ти си окаяният, нещастен, сиромах, сляп и гол,
18 то съветвам те да купиш от Мене злато, пречистено с огън, за да се обогатиш, и бели дрехи, за да се облечеш, та да се не яви срамотата на твоята голота, и колурий, за да помажеш очите си, та да виждаш.
19 Ония, които любя, Аз ги изобличавам и наказвам; затова бъди ревностен да се покаеш.
20 Ето стоя на вратата и хлопам; ако чуе някой гласа Ми и отвори вратата, ще вляза при него и ще вечерям с него, и той с Мене.
21 На този, които победи ще дам да седне с Мене на Моя престол, както и Аз победих и седнах с Отца Си на Неговия престол.
22 Който има ухо, нека слуша що говори Духът към църквите.

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.
