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.

3 And to the angel of the church of Sardis, write: These things saith he, that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast the name of being alive: and thou art dead.
2 Be watchful and strengthen the things that remain, which are ready to die. For I find not thy works full before my God.
3 Have in mind therefore in what manner thou hast received and heard: and observe, and do penance. If then thou shalt not watch, I will come to thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come to thee.
4 But thou hast a few names in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
5 He that shall overcome, shall thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, and 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 to the churches.
7 And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia, write: These things saith the Holy One and the true one, he that hath the key of David; he that openeth, and no man shutteth; shutteth, and no man openeth:
8 I know thy works. Behold, I have given before thee a door opened, which no man can shut: because thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will bring of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and adore before thy feet. And they shall know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of the temptation, which shall come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 He that shall overcome, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; and he shall go out no more; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
14 And to the angel of the church of Laodicea, write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, who is 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 But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest: I am rich, and made wealthy, 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 fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich; and mayest be clothed in white garments, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance.
20 Behold, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

3 Îngerului Bisericii din Sardes scrie-i: ‘Iată ce zice Cel ce(A) are cele şapte Duhuri ale lui Dumnezeu şi cele şapte stele:
«Ştiu(B) faptele tale: că îţi merge numele că trăieşti, dar(C) eşti mort.
2 Veghează şi întăreşte ce rămâne, care e pe moarte, căci n-am găsit faptele tale desăvârşite înaintea Dumnezeului Meu. 3 Adu-ţi(D) aminte dar cum ai primit şi auzit! Ţine şi pocăieşte-te(E)! Dacă(F)nu veghezi, voi veni ca un hoţ şi nu vei şti în care ceas voi veni peste tine. 4 Totuşi ai în Sardes câteva(G) nume, care nu şi-au mânjit hainele(H). Ei vor umbla împreună cu Mine, îmbrăcaţi în(I)alb, fiindcă sunt vrednici. 5 Cel ce va birui va fi(J) îmbrăcat astfel în haine albe. Nu-i voi şterge(K) nicidecum numele din cartea(L) vieţii şi voi(M) mărturisi numele lui înaintea Tatălui Meu şi înaintea îngerilor Lui.» 6 Cine(N) are urechi să asculte ce zice Bisericilor Duhul.’ 7 Îngerului Bisericii din Filadelfia scrie-i:
‘Iată ce zice Cel(O) Sfânt, Cel(P) Adevărat, Cel ce ţine cheia(Q) lui David, Cel ce(R) deschide şi nimeni nu va închide, Cel ce închide(S) şi nimeni nu va deschide: 8 «Ştiu(T) faptele tale: iată ţi-am pus înainte o uşă(U) deschisă pe care nimeni n-o poate închide, căci ai puţină putere şi ai păzit Cuvântul Meu şi n-ai tăgăduit Numele Meu. 9 Iată că îţi dau(V) din cei ce sunt în sinagoga Satanei, care zic că sunt iudei şi nu sunt, ci mint; iată că îi(W) voi face să vină să se închine la picioarele tale şi să ştie că te-am iubit. 10 Fiindcă ai păzit cuvântul răbdării Mele, te(X) voi păzi şi Eu de ceasul încercării care are să vină peste lumea întreagă(Y), ca să încerce pe locuitorii pământului(Z). 11 Eu vin(AA) curând. Păstrează(AB)ce ai, ca nimeni să nu-ţi ia cununa(AC). 12 Pe cel ce va birui, îl voi face un stâlp(AD) în Templul Dumnezeului Meu şi nu va mai ieşi din el. Voi(AE) scrie pe el Numele Dumnezeului Meu şi numele cetăţii Dumnezeului Meu, Noul Ierusalim(AF), care are să se pogoare din cer de la Dumnezeul Meu, şi(AG)Numele Meu cel nou.» 13 Cine(AH) are urechi să asculte ce zice Bisericilor Duhul.’ 14 Îngerului Bisericii din Laodiceea scrie-i:
‘Iată(AI) ce zice Cel ce este Amin, Martorul(AJ) credincios şi adevărat, Începutul(AK) zidirii lui Dumnezeu: 15 «Ştiu(AL) faptele tale: că nu eşti nici rece, nici în clocot. O, dacă ai fi rece sau în clocot! 16 Dar, fiindcă eşti căldicel, nici rece, nici în clocot, am să te vărs din gura Mea. 17 Pentru că zici: «Sunt bogat(AM), m-am îmbogăţit şi nu duc lipsă de nimic», şi nu ştii că eşti ticălos, nenorocit, sărac, orb şi gol, 18 te sfătuiesc să(AN)cumperi de la Mine aur curăţit prin foc, ca să te îmbogăţeşti, şi haine(AO)albe, ca să te îmbraci cu ele şi să nu ţi se vadă ruşinea goliciunii tale, şi doctorie pentru ochi, ca să-ţi ungi ochii şi să vezi. 19 Eu mustru(AP)şi pedepsesc pe toţi aceia pe care-i iubesc. Fii plin de râvnă dar şi pocăieşte-te! 20 Iată Eu stau(AQ) la uşă şi bat. Dacă(AR) aude cineva glasul meu şi deschide uşa, voi(AS) intra la el, voi cina cu el, şi el cu Mine. 21 Celui ce va birui, îi(AT) voi da să şadă cu Mine pe scaunul Meu de domnie, după cum şi Eu am biruit şi am şezut cu Tatăl Meu pe scaunul Lui de domnie.» 22 Cine(AU) are urechi, să asculte ce zice Bisericilor Duhul’.”

To the Church in Sardis
3 “To the angel[a] of the church in Sardis(A) write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits[b](B) of God and the seven stars.(C) I know your deeds;(D) you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.(E) 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent.(F) But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief,(G) and you will not know at what time(H) I will come to you.
4 Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes.(I) They will walk with me, dressed in white,(J) for they are worthy. 5 The one who is victorious(K) will, like them, be dressed in white.(L) I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life,(M) but will acknowledge that name before my Father(N) and his angels. 6 Whoever has ears, let them hear(O) what the Spirit says to the churches.
To the Church in Philadelphia
7 “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia(P) write:
These are the words of him who is holy(Q) and true,(R) who holds the key of David.(S) What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds.(T) See, I have placed before you an open door(U) that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.(V) 9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan,(W) who claim to be Jews though they are not,(X) but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet(Y) and acknowledge that I have loved you.(Z) 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you(AA) from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world(AB) to test(AC) the inhabitants of the earth.(AD)
11 I am coming soon.(AE) Hold on to what you have,(AF) so that no one will take your crown.(AG) 12 The one who is victorious(AH) I will make a pillar(AI) in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God(AJ) and the name of the city of my God,(AK) the new Jerusalem,(AL) which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. 13 Whoever has ears, let them hear(AM) what the Spirit says to the churches.
To the Church in Laodicea
14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea(AN) write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness,(AO) the ruler of God’s creation.(AP) 15 I know your deeds,(AQ) that you are neither cold nor hot.(AR) I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’(AS) But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.(AT) 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire,(AU) so you can become rich; and white clothes(AV) to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness;(AW) and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.(AX) So be earnest and repent.(AY) 20 Here I am! I stand at the door(AZ) and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,(BA) I will come in(BB) and eat with that person, and they with me.
21 To the one who is victorious,(BC) I will give the right to sit with me on my throne,(BD) just as I was victorious(BE) and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear(BF) what the Spirit says to the churches.”
