- 1And 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.Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Σάρδεσιν ἐκκλησίας γράψον Τάδε λέγει ὁ ἔχων τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας σου τὰ ἔργα ὅτι ὄνομα ἔχεις ὅτι ζῇς καὶ νεκρὸς εἶ
- 2Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.γίνου καὶ στήρισον τὰ ἃ ⸂ἔμελλον οὐ γὰρ εὕρηκά σου ⸀τὰ ἔργα πεπληρωμένα ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ μου
- 3Remember 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.μνημόνευε οὖν πῶς εἴληφας καὶ ἤκουσας καὶ τήρει καὶ μετανόησον ἐὰν οὖν μὴ ⸀ἥξω ὡς κλέπτης καὶ οὐ μὴ ⸀γνῷς ποίαν ὥραν ἥξω ἐπὶ σέ
- 4Thou 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.ἀλλὰ ⸂ἔχεις ὀλίγα⸃ ὀνόματα ἐν Σάρδεσιν ἃ οὐκ ἐμόλυναν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν καὶ περιπατήσουσιν μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐν λευκοῖς ὅτι ἄξιοί εἰσιν
- 5He 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.ὁ νικῶν περιβαλεῖται ἐν ἱματίοις λευκοῖς καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξαλείψω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς βίβλου τῆς ζωῆς καὶ ὁμολογήσω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ
- 6He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις
- 7And 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;Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Φιλαδελφείᾳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον Τάδε λέγει ὁ ἅγιος ὁ ἀληθινός ὁ ἔχων τὴν κλεῖν ὁ ἀνοίγων καὶ οὐδεὶς κλείσει ⸂καὶ κλείων⸃ καὶ οὐδεὶς ⸀ἀνοίγει
- 8I 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.σου τὰ ἔργα— ἰδοὺ δέδωκα ἐνώπιόν σου θύραν ἠνεῳγμένην ἣν οὐδεὶς δύναται κλεῖσαι αὐτήν— ὅτι μικρὰν ἔχεις δύναμιν καὶ ἐτήρησάς μου τὸν λόγον καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσω τὸ ὄνομά μου
- 9Behold, 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.ἰδοὺ ⸀διδῶ ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς τοῦ Σατανᾶ τῶν λεγόντων ἑαυτοὺς Ἰουδαίους εἶναι καὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν ἀλλὰ ψεύδονται— ἰδοὺ ποιήσω αὐτοὺς ἵνα ⸂ἥξουσιν καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν⸃ ἐνώπιον τῶν ποδῶν σου καὶ γνῶσιν ὅτι ⸀ἐγὼ ἠγάπησά σε
- 10Because 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.ὅτι ἐτήρησας τὸν λόγον τῆς ὑπομονῆς μου κἀγώ σε τηρήσω ἐκ τῆς ὥρας τοῦ πειρασμοῦ τῆς μελλούσης ἔρχεσθαι ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκουμένης ὅλης πειράσαι τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
- 11Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.ἔρχομαι ταχύ κράτει ὃ ἔχεις ἵνα μηδεὶς λάβῃ τὸν στέφανόν σου
- 12Him 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.ὁ νικῶν ποιήσω αὐτὸν στῦλον ἐν τῷ ναῷ τοῦ θεοῦ μου καὶ ἔξω οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃ ἔτι καὶ γράψω ἐπ’ αὐτὸν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ μου καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως τοῦ θεοῦ μου τῆς καινῆς ἡ ⸀καταβαίνουσα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ μου καὶ τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ καινόν
- 13He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις
- 14And 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;Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον Τάδε λέγει ὁ Ἀμήν ὁ μάρτυς ὁ πιστὸς ⸀καὶ ἀληθινός ἡ ἀρχὴ τῆς κτίσεως τοῦ θεοῦ
- 15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.σου τὰ ἔργα ὅτι οὔτε ψυχρὸς εἶ οὔτε ζεστός ὄφελον ψυχρὸς ἦς ἢ ζεστός
- 16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.ὅτι χλιαρὸς εἶ καὶ ⸀οὔτε ζεστὸς οὔτε ψυχρός μέλλω σε ἐμέσαι ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου
- 17Because 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:ὅτι λέγεις ⸀ὅτι Πλούσιός εἰμι καὶ πεπλούτηκα καὶ ⸀οὐδὲν χρείαν ἔχω καὶ οὐκ ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ταλαίπωρος ⸀καὶ ἐλεεινὸς καὶ πτωχὸς καὶ τυφλὸς καὶ γυμνός
- 18I 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.συμβουλεύω σοι ἀγοράσαι ⸂παρ’ ἐμοῦ χρυσίον⸃ ἐκ πυρὸς ἵνα πλουτήσῃς καὶ ἱμάτια λευκὰ ἵνα περιβάλῃ καὶ μὴ φανερωθῇ ἡ αἰσχύνη τῆς γυμνότητός σου καὶ κολλούριον ⸀ἐγχρῖσαι τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου ἵνα βλέπῃς
- 19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.ἐγὼ ὅσους ἐὰν φιλῶ ἐλέγχω καὶ παιδεύω οὖν καὶ μετανόησον
- 20Behold, 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.ἰδοὺ ἕστηκα ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν καὶ κρούω ἐάν ἀκούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ ἀνοίξῃ τὴν θύραν ⸀καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ δειπνήσω μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς μετ’ ἐμοῦ
- 21To 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.ὁ νικῶν δώσω αὐτῷ καθίσαι μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐν τῷ θρόνῳ μου ὡς κἀγὼ ἐνίκησα καὶ ἐκάθισα μετὰ τοῦ πατρός μου ἐν τῷ θρόνῳ αὐτοῦ
- 22He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις
