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 “Dhe engjëllit të kishës në Sardë shkruaji: këto gjëra thotë ai që ka të shtatë Frymërat e Perëndisë dhe të shtatë yjet. Unë i di veprat e tua; ti ke emrin se jeton, por je i vdekur.
2 Ji syçelë dhe forco mbetjen e gjërave që gati po vdesin, sepse nuk i gjeta të përkryera veprat e tua përpara Perëndisë tim.
3 Kujto, pra, atë që more dhe dëgjove, dhe ruaje edhe pendohu. Po të mos rrish zgjuar, unë do të vij te ti si vjedhës, dhe nuk do të dish në ç’orë do të vij te ti.
4 Por ke disa veta në Sardë, që nuk e ndotën petkat e tyre; edhe do të ecin me mua të veshur në të bardha, sepse janë të denjë.
5 Kush fiton do të vishet me rroba të bardha dhe unë nuk do ta fshij emrin e tij nga libri i jetës, por do të rrëfej emrin e tij përpara Atit tim dhe para engjëjve të tij.
6 Kush ka veshë, le të dëgjojë atë që Fryma u thotë kishave.”
7 “Dhe engjëllit të kishës së Filadelfisë shkruaji: këtë thotë i Shenjti, i Vërteti, ai që ka çelësin e Davidit, ai që hap dhe askush nuk mbyll; dhe mbyll dhe askush nuk hap.
8 Unë njoh veprat e tua; ja, të vura përpara një dere të hapur që asnjëri nuk mund ta mbyllë; sepse ke pak forcë, dhe e ruajte fjalën time edhe nuk mohove emrin tim.
9 Ja, unë do të dorëzoj disa nga sinagoga e Satanit, që e quajnë veten Judenj, dhe nuk janë, por gënjejnë; ja, unë do t’i bëj të vijnë dhe të bien përmbys përpara këmbëve të tua, dhe do të njohin se unë të kam dashur.
10 Sepse e ruajte fjalën e durimit tim, edhe unë do të të ruaj ty nga ora e sprovës që do të vij mbi gjithë botën, për të provuar ata që banojnë mbi dhe.
11 Ja, unë vij shpejt; mbaje fort atë që ke, që të mos të marrë ndokush kurorën tënde.
12 Kush fiton do ta bëj shtyllë në tempullin e Perëndisë tim, dhe ai nuk do të dalë më përjashta; dhe do të shkruaj mbi të emrin e Perëndisë tim, dhe emrin e qytetit të Perëndisë tim, të Jeruzalemit të ri, që zbret nga qielli nga Perëndia im, dhe emrin tim të ri.
13 Kush ka veshë, le të dëgjojë atë që Fryma u thotë kishave.”
14 “Dhe engjëllit të kishës në Laodice shkruaji: këtë thotë Ameni, Dëshmitari besnik dhe i vërtetë, Fillimi i krijesës së Perëndisë.
15 Unë njoh veprat e tua, që ti nuk je as i ftohtë as i ngrohtë. Do të doja të ishe i ftohtë ose i ngrohtë!
16 Por, mbasi je kështu i vakët, dhe as i ftohtë e as i ngrohtë, unë do të të vjell nga goja ime.
17 Sepse ti thua: "Unë jam i pasur, u pasurova dhe s’kam nevojë për asgjë"; edhe nuk e di se ti je qyqar e mjeran, i varfër, i verbër dhe i zhveshur.
18 Të këshilloj të blesh nga unë ar të kulluar në zjarr që të bëhesh i pasur; edhe petka të bardhë që të vishesh dhe të mos duket turpi i lakuriqësisë sate; edhe vajos sytë e tu me kolir, që të shohësh.
19 Unë të gjithë ata që i dua i qortoj dhe i ndëshkoj; prandaj ji i zellshëm dhe pendohu.
20 Ja, unë qëndroj te dera dhe trokas; nëse dikush dëgjon zërin tim dhe të hapë derën, unë do të hyj tek ai dhe do të ha darkë me të dhe ai me mua.
21 Kujt fiton do t’i jap të ulet me mua mbi fronin tim, sikurse edhe unë fitova dhe u ula me Atin tim mbi fronin e tij.
22 Kush ka veshë, le të dëgjojë atë që u thotë Fryma kishave.”
Revelation 3
English Standard Version
To the Church in Sardis
3 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him (A)who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.
“‘I know your works. You have the reputation (B)of being alive, (C)but you are dead. 2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works (D)complete in the sight of my God. 3 (E)Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, (F)I will come (G)like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you. 4 Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not (H)soiled their garments, and they will walk with me (I)in white, for they are (J)worthy. 5 (K)The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never (L)blot his name out of (M)the book of life. (N)I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. 6 (O)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
To the Church in Philadelphia
7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of (P)the holy one, (Q)the true one, (R)who has the key of David, (S)who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens.
8 “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you (T)an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make those of (U)the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, (V)I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that (W)I have loved you. 10 (X)Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try (Y)those who dwell on the earth. 11 (Z)I am coming soon. (AA)Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize (AB)your crown. 12 (AC)The one who conquers, I will make him (AD)a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him (AE)the name of my God, and (AF)the name of the city of my God, (AG)the new Jerusalem, (AH)which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own (AI)new name. 13 (AJ)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
To the Church in Laodicea
14 “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the (AK)Amen, (AL)the faithful and true witness, (AM)the beginning of God's creation.
15 “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. (AN)Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. 17 (AO)For you say, “I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing,” not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, (AP)blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you (AQ)to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and (AR)white garments so that you may clothe yourself and (AS)the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, (AT)so that you may see. 19 (AU)Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and (AV)knock. (AW)If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, (AX)I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21 (AY)The one who conquers, (AZ)I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as (BA)I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 (BB)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
