啟 示 錄 3
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣致撒狄教会的信
3 “给撒狄教会天使的信,要这样写:
“‘有上帝的七个灵和七颗星星的他说:我知道你的所作所为,你有虽生犹死的的名声, 2 振作起来!在你还没有彻底死之前,加强你所剩下的生机吧。因为,在我的上帝面前,我找不出你配得上我的上帝的行为。 3 因此切记你所听到和领受到的教导,要服从它。忏悔把!如果你不醒悟过来,我就会像小偷一样,出其不意地降临,而你是不会知道我在什么时候来临。 4 不过,在撒狄还是有一些洁身自好的人,这些人配得上穿白衣与我同行。 5 获胜的人会像这样穿上白衣服。我不会把他从生命册中删名,我要在我父和天使面前,承认他的名字。 6 有耳能听的人,都应该听灵对教会所说的话。’”
耶稣致非拉铁非教会的信
7 “给非拉铁非教会天使的信,要这样写:
“真实、神圣的他,掌管着大卫的钥匙。如果他打开一扇门,就没有人能把它关上;他若关上一扇门,也就没有人能把它打开。他说: 8 我知道你的行为,看那,我在你面前放了一扇打开的门,没有人能把它关上。我知道,尽管你的力气单薄,但是,你还是坚持了我的教导,没有否认我的名字。 9 听着,那些撒旦的党羽和实际上不是但却自称是犹太人的骗子,我要让他们来跪拜在你的脚下,让他们知道我爱你。 10 因为你遵循了我的命令,耐心地忍受着,所以,当地上所有的人接受即将来临的考验时,我会让你免于考验。
11 “我就要来了,你要坚持你所有的,不要让人夺走你的桂冠。 12 那得胜者,我要让他成为上帝大殿里的一根支柱,从此不再离开那里。我要在他的身上,写上我的上帝的名字和我的上帝之城的名字,此城就是那从天而降、来自我的上帝的新耶路撒冷。我也要在他的身上写下我的新名字。 13 有耳能听的人,都应该听圣灵对教会讲的话。”
耶稣致老底嘉教会的信
14 “给老底嘉教会天使的信,要这样写:
“‘那位被称为阿们的,即那位忠诚真实的证人,上帝所造的万物的统治者说道: 15 我知道你的表现,你既不冷也不热。我倒是愿你或冷或热, 16 可你却是不冷不热的温吞水,我要把你从我的嘴里吐出去! 17 你说∶“我很富,我已经很富有了,不再需要任何东西了。”但是,你却没有意识到自己是多么地悲惨、可怜、贫穷眼瞎和赤身露体。 18 我建议你从我这儿买些经过烈火锤炼的金子,这样,你便可以真正地富裕起来。再买些白衣服穿上,以便掩盖你那令人羞耻的裸体,再买些眼药抹在你的眼睛里,使你能够看见。
19 “对我所爱的人,我要严加管教。因此,你们要满腔热情,要忏悔! 20 看哪,我站在门口,在敲门。如果有人听见我的声音,并打开门,我会进去和他共进晚餐。
21 “我要赐权力给获胜的人,让他与我一同坐在我的宝座上,就像已获胜的我与我父同坐在他的宝座上一样。 22 有耳能听的人,都应该听圣灵对教会所说的话。”
启示录 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
给撒狄教会的信
3 “你要写信告诉撒狄教会的天使,有上帝的七灵又有七颗星的主说,
‘我知道你的行为,你名义上活着,实际上是死的。 2 你要警醒!把所剩无几、奄奄一息的生命振作起来,因为我发现你的行为在我的上帝面前不纯全。 3 因此,要回想你以前所领受、所听见的教导,遵守这些教导,并且悔改。你若不警醒,我必在你意想不到的时候像贼一样忽然来到。 4 不过在撒狄,你还有几个人未曾玷污自己的衣服,他们要穿白袍与我同行,因为他们配得这样。 5 得胜者必同样穿上白袍,我绝不会从生命册上抹去他的名字,我必在我父和众天使面前承认他的名。
6 ‘圣灵对各教会所说的话,凡有耳朵的都应当听。’
给非拉铁非教会的信
7 “你要写信告诉非拉铁非教会的天使,那位圣洁、真实、拿着大卫的钥匙、开了门无人能关、关了门无人能开的主说,
8 ‘我知道你的行为,你力量微小,却遵守了我的教导,没有背弃我的名。所以,看啊!我在你面前为你打开了一扇无人能关闭的门。 9 看啊!我要使撒旦的同伙,就是那些假冒犹太人的说谎者,在你面前俯伏下拜,让他们知道你是我所疼爱的。 10 因为你遵守我有关坚忍的教导,所以当将来的试炼临到全人类的时候,我必使你免受磨难。 11 我很快就要来了!你要持守你所拥有的,免得有人夺去你的冠冕。 12 我要使得胜者在我上帝的殿中作栋梁,永不离开。我要将我上帝的名号和我上帝圣城的名号,就是从天上我上帝那里降下来的新耶路撒冷和我自己的新名号,都刻在他上面。
13 ‘圣灵对各教会所说的话,凡有耳朵的都应当听。’
给老底嘉教会的信
14 “你要写信告诉老底嘉教会的天使,那位实实在在[a]、诚信无伪的见证人,就是上帝所造万物的元首说,
15 ‘我知道你的行为,你不冷也不热。我情愿你或冷或热, 16 可是现在你却像温水一样不冷不热,我必将你从我口中吐出去! 17 你说,我很富有,已经发了财,什么都不缺。你却不知道自己困苦、可怜、贫穷、瞎眼、赤身露体。 18 我劝你向我买精炼的金子,使你真正富有。你也要向我买白袍穿在身上,好遮盖你赤身露体的羞辱。你也要向我买眼药抹眼睛,使你能看见。 19 凡我所爱的,我都会责备、管教。因此,你要热心起来,也要悔改。 20 看啊!我站在门外敲门,若有谁闻声开门,我必进去,我与他,他与我,一同坐席吃饭。 21 得胜者可以和我一同坐在我的宝座上,正如我得胜后与我父一同坐在祂的宝座上一样。
22 ‘圣灵对各教会所说的话,凡有耳朵的都应当听。’”

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.
