CHAPTER 3
:1 And unto the angel <G 0032> of the church <G 1577>
in Sardis
<G 4554> write
<G 1125>; These <G 3592> things saith <G 3004>
he that hath <G
2192> the seven
<G 2033> Spirits <G 4151> of God <G 2316>, and
the seven <G
2033> stars <G
0792>; I know <G 1492> thy works <G 2041>, that
thou hast <G
2192> a name <G
3686> that thou livest <G 2198>, and art <G 1488>
dead <G 3498>.
:2 Be watchful <G 1127>, and strengthen <G 4741> the
things
which remain <G
3062>, that are ready <G 3195> to die <G 0599>:
for I have not
found <G 2147>
thy works <G 2041> perfect <G 4137> before <G
1799> God <G 2316>.
:3 Remember <G 3421> therefore <G 3767> how <G
4459> thou hast
received <G
2983> and heard <G 0191>, and hold <G 5083> fast,
and repent <G
3340>. If <G
1437> therefore <G 3767> thou shalt not watch <G
1127>, I will
come <G 2240> on
<G 1909> thee as a thief <G 2812>, and thou shalt not
know <G
1097> what <G
4169> hour <G 5610> I will come <G 2240> upon thee.
:4 Thou hast <G 2192> a few <G 3641> names <G
3686> even <G
2532> in Sardis <G
4554> which <G 3739> have not defiled <G 3435>
their garments <G
2440>; and they
shall walk <G 4043> with me in white <G 3022>: for
they are
worthy <G 0514>.
:5 He that overcometh <G 3528>, the same <G 3778>
shall be
clothed <G 4016> in
white <G 3022> raiment <G 2440>; and I will not blot
<G 1813>
out his name <G
3686> out of the book <G 0976> of life <G 2222>,
but I will
confess <G 1843> his
name <G 3686> before <G 1799> my Father <G 3962>
, and before <G
1799> his angels
<G 0032>.
:6 He that hath <G 2192> an ear <G 3775>, let him
hear <G 0191>
what <G 5101>
the Spirit <G 4151> saith <G 3004> unto the churches
<G 1577>.
:7 And to the angel <G 0032> of the church <G 1577>
in
Philadelphia <G 5359>
write <G 1125>; These <G 3592> things saith <G
3004> he that is
holy <G 0040>,
he that is true <G 0228>, he that hath <G 2192> the
key <G 2807>
of David <G
1138>, he that openeth <G 0455>, and no <G 3762>
man <G 3762>
shutteth <G 2808>;
and shutteth <G 2808>, and no <G 3762> man <G
3762> openeth <G
0455>;
:8 I know <G 1492> thy works <G 2041>: behold <G
2400>, I have
set <G 1325>
before <G 1799> thee an open <G 0455> door <G
2374>, and no <G
3762> man <G
3762> can <G 1410> shut <G 2808> it: for thou hast
<G 2192> a
little <G 3398>
strength <G 1411>, and hast kept <G 5083> my word <
G 3056>, and
hast not denied
<G 0720> my name <G 3686>.
:9 Behold <G 2400>, I will make <G 1325> them of the
synagogue
<G 4864> of
Satan <G 4567>, which <G 3588> say <G 3004>
they are Jews <G
2453>, and are not,
but do lie <G 5574>; behold <G 2400>, I will make <
G 4160> them
to come <G 2240>
and worship <G 4352> before <G 1799> thy feet <G
4228>, and to
know <G 1097>
that I have loved <G 0025> thee.
:10 Because <G 3754> thou hast kept <G 5083> the
word <G 3056>
of my patience
<G 5281>, I also <G 2504> will keep <G 5083>
thee from the hour
<G 5610> of
temptation <G 3986>, which <G 3588> shall come <G
2064> upon all
<G 3650> the
world <G 3625>, to try <G 3985> them that dwell <G
2730> upon
the earth <G
1093>.
:11 Behold <G 2400>, I come <G 2064> quickly <G
5035>: hold <G
2902> that fast
which <G 3739> thou hast <G 2192>, that no <G
3367> man <G 3367>
take <G 2983>
thy crown <G 4735>.
:12 Him that overcometh <G 3528> will I make <G 4160>
a pillar
<G 4769> in the
temple <G 3485> of my God <G 2316>, and he shall go
<G 1831> no
<G 3364> more <G
2089> out: and I will write <G 1125> upon him the name
<G 3686>
of my God <G
2316>, and the name <G 3686> of the city <G 4172>
of my God <G
2316>, [which <G
3588> is] new <G 2537> Jerusalem <G 2419>, which
<G 3588> cometh
<G 2597> down
<G 2597> out of heaven <G 3772> from my God <G
2316>: and [I
will write upon
him] my new <G 2537> name <G 3686>.
:13 He that hath <G 2192> an ear <G 3775>, let him
hear <G
0191> what <G 5101>
the Spirit <G 4151> saith <G 3004> unto the churches
<G 1577>.
:14 And unto the angel <G 0032> of the church <G
1577> of the
Laodiceans <G
2994> write <G 1125>; These <G 3592> things saith
<G 3004> the
Amen <G 0281>,
the faithful <G 4103> and true <G 0228> witness <G
3144>, the
beginning <G 0746>
of the creation <G 2937> of God <G 2316>;
:15 I know <G 1492> thy works <G 2041>, that thou
art <G 1488>
neither <G 3777>
cold <G 5593> nor <G 3777> hot <G 2200>: I
would <G 3785> thou
wert <G 1498>
cold <G 5593> or <G 2228> hot <G 2200>.
:16 So <G 3779> then because <G 3754> thou art <G
1488>
lukewarm <G 5513>, and
neither <G 3777> cold <G 5593> nor <G 3777> hot
<G 2200>, I will
<G 3195> spue
<G 1692> thee out of my mouth <G 4750>.
:17 Because <G 3754> thou sayest <G 3004>, I am <
G 1510> rich
<G 4145>, and
increased <G 4147> with goods <G 4147>, and have <
G 2192> need
<G 5532> of
nothing <G 3762>; and knowest <G 1492> not that thou
art <G
1488> wretched <G
5005>, and miserable <G 1652>, and poor <G 4434>,
and blind <G
5185>, and naked
<G 1131>:
:18 I counsel <G 4823> thee to buy <G 0059> of me
gold <G 5553>
tried <G 4448>
in the fire <G 4442>, that thou mayest be rich <G
4147>; and
white <G 3022>
raiment <G 2440>, that thou mayest be clothed <G 4016>
, and
[that] the shame <G
0152> of thy nakedness <G 1132> do not appear <G
5319>; and
anoint <G 1472>
thine <G 4675> eyes <G 3788> with eyesalve <G
2854>, that thou
mayest see <G
0991>.
:19 As many <G 3745> as I love <G 5368>, I rebuke
<G 1651> and
