GNT

1 καὶ τῶ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν σάρδεσιν ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ ἔχων τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας· οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα, ὅτι ὄνομα ἔχεις ὅτι ζῇς, καὶ νεκρὸς εἶ.

2 γίνου γρηγορῶν, καὶ στήρισον τὰ λοιπὰ ἃ ἔμελλον ἀποθανεῖν, οὐ γὰρ εὕρηκά σου τὰ ἔργα πεπληρωμένα ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ μου·

3 μνημόνευε οὗν πῶς εἴληφας καὶ ἤκουσας, καὶ τήρει, καὶ μετανόησον. ἐὰν οὗν μὴ γρηγορήσῃς, ἥξω ὡς κλέπτης, καὶ οὐ μὴ γνῶς ποίαν ὥραν ἥξω ἐπὶ σέ.

4 ἀλλὰ ἔχεις ὀλίγα ὀνόματα ἐν σάρδεσιν ἃ οὐκ ἐμόλυναν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, καὶ περιπατήσουσιν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐν λευκοῖς, ὅτι ἄξιοί εἰσιν.

5 ὁ νικῶν οὕτως 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.

6 ὁ ἔχων οὗς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.

7 καὶ τῶ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν φιλαδελφείᾳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ ἅγιος, ὁ ἀληθινός, ὁ ἔχων τὴν κλεῖν δαυίδ, ὁ ἀνοίγων καὶ οὐδεὶς κλείσει, καὶ κλείων καὶ οὐδεὶς ἀνοίγει·

8 οἶδά 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.

9 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.

10 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.

11 ἔρχομαι ταχύ· κράτει ὃ ἔχεις, ἵνα μηδεὶς λάβῃ τὸν στέφανόν σου.

12 ὁ νικῶν ποιήσω αὐτὸν στῦλον ἐν τῶ ναῶ 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 ἰερουσαλήμ, ἡ καταβαίνουσα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ μου, καὶ τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ καινόν.

13 ὁ ἔχων οὗς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.

14 καὶ τῶ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν λαοδικείᾳ ἐκκλησίας γράψον· τάδε λέγει ὁ ἀμήν, ὁ μάρτυς ὁ πιστὸς καὶ ἀληθινός, ἡ ἀρχὴ τῆς κτίσεως τοῦ θεοῦ·

15 οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα, ὅτι οὔτε ψυχρὸς εἶ οὔτε ζεστός. ὄφελον ψυχρὸς ἦς ἢ ζεστός.

16 οὕτως, ὅτι χλιαρὸς εἶ καὶ οὔτε ζεστὸς οὔτε ψυχρός, μέλλω σε ἐμέσαι ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου.

17 ὅτι λέγεις ὅτι πλούσιός εἰμι καὶ πεπλούτηκα καὶ οὐδὲν χρείαν ἔχω, καὶ οὐκ οἶδας ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ταλαίπωρος καὶ ἐλεεινὸς καὶ πτωχὸς καὶ τυφλὸς καὶ γυμνός,

18 συμβουλεύω σοι ἀγοράσαι παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ χρυσίον πεπυρωμένον ἐκ πυρὸς ἵνα πλουτήσῃς, καὶ ἱμάτια λευκὰ ἵνα περιβάλῃ καὶ μὴ φανερωθῇ ἡ αἰσχύνη τῆς γυμνότητός σου, καὶ κολλ[ο]ύριον ἐγχρῖσαι τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου ἵνα βλέπῃς.

19 ἐγὼ ὅσους ἐὰν φιλῶ ἐλέγχω καὶ παιδεύω· ζήλευε οὗν καὶ μετανόησον.

20 ἰδοὺ ἕστηκα ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν καὶ κρούω· ἐάν τις ἀκούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ ἀνοίξῃ τὴν θύραν, [καὶ] εἰσελεύσομαι πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ δειπνήσω μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ.

21 ὁ νικῶν δώσω αὐτῶ καθίσαι μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐν τῶ θρόνῳ μου, ὡς κἀγὼ ἐνίκησα καὶ ἐκάθισα μετὰ τοῦ πατρός μου ἐν τῶ θρόνῳ αὐτοῦ.

22 ὁ ἔχων οὗς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.

2  Be¹⁰⁹⁶ watchful,¹¹²⁷ and²⁵³² strengthen⁴⁷⁴¹ the things which remain³⁰⁶² that³⁷³⁹ are ready³¹⁹⁵ to die:⁵⁹⁹ for¹⁰⁶³ I have not³⁷⁵⁶ found²¹⁴⁷ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ works²⁰⁴¹ perfect⁴¹³⁷ before¹⁷⁹⁹ God.²³¹⁶

3  Remember³⁴²¹ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ thou hast received²⁹⁸³ and²⁵³² heard,¹⁹¹ and²⁵³² hold fast,⁵⁰⁸³ and²⁵³² repent.³³⁴⁰ If¹⁴³⁷ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ thou shalt not³³⁶¹ watch,¹¹²⁷ I will come²²⁴⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ as⁵⁶¹³ a thief,²⁸¹² and²⁵³² thou shalt not³³⁶⁴ know¹⁰⁹⁷ what⁴¹⁶⁹ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ I will come²²⁴⁰ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ thee.⁴⁵⁷¹

4  Thou hast²¹⁹² a few³⁶⁴¹ names³⁶⁸⁶ even²⁵³² in¹⁷²² Sardis⁴⁵⁵⁴ which³⁷³⁹ have not³⁷⁵⁶ defiled³⁴³⁵ their⁸⁴⁸ garments;²⁴⁴⁰ and²⁵³² they shall walk⁴⁰⁴³ with³³²⁶ me¹⁷⁰⁰ in¹⁷²² white:³⁰²² for³⁷⁵⁴ they are¹⁵²⁶ worthy.⁵¹⁴

5  He that overcometh,³⁵²⁸ the same³⁷⁷⁸ shall be clothed⁴⁰¹⁶ in¹⁷²² white³⁰²² raiment;²⁴⁴⁰ and²⁵³² I will not³³⁶⁴ blot out¹⁸¹³ his⁸⁴⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ out¹⁵³⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ book⁹⁷⁶ of life,²²²² but²⁵³² I will confess¹⁸⁴³ his⁸⁴⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ before¹⁷⁹⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ Father,³⁹⁶² and²⁵³² before¹⁷⁹⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ angels.³²

6  He that hath²¹⁹² an ear,³⁷⁷⁵ let him hear¹⁹¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ churches.¹⁵⁷⁷

7  And²⁵³² to the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ in¹⁷²² Philadelphia⁵³⁵⁹ write;¹¹²⁵ These things³⁵⁹² saith³⁰⁰⁴ he that is holy,⁴⁰ he that is true,²²⁸ he that hath²¹⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ key²⁸⁰⁷ of David,¹¹³⁸ he that openeth,⁴⁵⁵ and²⁵³² no man³⁷⁶² shutteth;²⁸⁰⁸ and²⁵³² shutteth,²⁸⁰⁸ and²⁵³² no man³⁷⁶² openeth;⁴⁵⁵

8  I know¹⁴⁹² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ works:²⁰⁴¹ behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I have set¹³²⁵ before¹⁷⁹⁹ thee⁴⁶⁷⁵ an open⁴⁵⁵ door,²³⁷⁴ and²⁵³² no man³⁷⁶² can¹⁴¹⁰ shut²⁸⁰⁸ it:⁸⁴⁶ for³⁷⁵⁴ thou hast²¹⁹² a little³³⁹⁸ strength,¹⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² hast kept⁵⁰⁸³ my³⁴⁵⁰ word,³⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² hast not³⁷⁵⁶ denied⁷²⁰ my³⁴⁵⁰ name.³⁶⁸⁶

9  Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I will make¹³²⁵ them³⁵⁸⁸ of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogue⁴⁸⁶⁴ of Satan,⁴⁵⁶⁷ which say³⁰⁰⁴ they¹⁴³⁸ are¹⁵¹¹ Jews,²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² are¹⁵²⁶ not,³⁷⁵⁶ but²³⁵ do lie;⁵⁵⁷⁴ behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I will make⁴¹⁶⁰ them⁸⁴⁶ to²⁴⁴³ come²²⁴⁰ and²⁵³² worship⁴³⁵² before¹⁷⁹⁹ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ feet,⁴²²⁸ and²⁵³² to know¹⁰⁹⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ I¹⁴⁷³ have loved²⁵ thee.⁴⁵⁷¹

10  Because³⁷⁵⁴ thou hast kept⁵⁰⁸³ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ of my³⁴⁵⁰ patience,⁵²⁸¹ I also²⁵⁰⁴ will keep⁵⁰⁸³ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ from¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ of temptation,³⁹⁸⁶ which shall³¹⁹⁵ come²⁰⁶⁴ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁶⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ world,³⁶²⁵ to try³⁹⁸⁵ them³⁵⁸⁸ that dwell²⁷³⁰ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth.¹⁰⁹³

11  Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I come²⁰⁶⁴ quickly:⁵⁰³⁵ hold that fast²⁹⁰² which³⁷³⁹ thou hast,²¹⁹² that²⁴⁴³ no man³³⁶⁷ take²⁹⁸³ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ crown.⁴⁷³⁵

12  Him⁸⁴⁶ that overcometh³⁵²⁸ will I make⁴¹⁶⁰ a pillar⁴⁷⁶⁹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple³⁴⁸⁵ of my³⁴⁵⁰ God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² he shall go¹⁸³¹ no³³⁶⁴ more²⁰⁸⁹ out:¹⁸⁵⁴ and²⁵³² I will write¹¹²⁵ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of my³⁴⁵⁰ God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ city⁴¹⁷² of my³⁴⁵⁰ God,²³¹⁶ which is new²⁵³⁷ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ which³⁷³⁹ cometh down²⁵⁹⁷ out of¹⁵³⁷ heaven³⁷⁷² from⁵⁷⁵ my³⁴⁵⁰ God:²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² I will write upon him my³⁴⁵⁰ new²⁵³⁷ name.³⁶⁸⁶

13  He that hath²¹⁹² an ear,³⁷⁷⁵ let him hear¹⁹¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ churches.¹⁵⁷⁷

14  And²⁵³² unto the³⁵⁸⁸ angel³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ of the Laodiceans²⁹⁹⁴ write;¹¹²⁵ These things³⁵⁹² saith³⁰⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Amen,²⁸¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ faithful⁴¹⁰³ and²⁵³² true²²⁸ witness,³¹⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ beginning⁷⁴⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ creation²⁹³⁷ of God;²³¹⁶

15  I know¹⁴⁹² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ works,²⁰⁴¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ thou art¹⁴⁸⁸ neither³⁷⁷⁷ cold⁵⁵⁹³ nor³⁷⁷⁷ hot:²²⁰⁰ I would³⁷⁸⁵ thou wert¹⁴⁹⁸ cold⁵⁵⁹³ or²²²⁸ hot.²²⁰⁰

16  So then³⁷⁷⁹ because³⁷⁵⁴ thou art¹⁴⁸⁸ lukewarm,⁵⁵¹³ and²⁵³² neither³⁷⁷⁷ cold⁵⁵⁹³ nor³⁷⁷⁷ hot,²²⁰⁰ I will³¹⁹⁵ spew¹⁶⁹² thee⁴⁵⁷¹ out of¹⁵³⁷ my³⁴⁵⁰ mouth.⁴⁷⁵⁰

17  Because³⁷⁵⁴ thou sayest,³⁰⁰⁴ I am¹⁵¹⁰ rich,⁴¹⁴⁵ and²⁵³² increased with goods,⁴¹⁴⁷ and²⁵³² have²¹⁹² need⁵⁵³² of nothing;³⁷⁶² and²⁵³² knowest¹⁴⁹² not³⁷⁵⁶ that³⁷⁵⁴ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ art¹⁴⁸⁸ wretched,⁵⁰⁰⁵ and²⁵³² miserable,¹⁶⁵² and²⁵³² poor,⁴⁴³⁴ and²⁵³² blind,⁵¹⁸⁵ and²⁵³² naked:¹¹³¹

18  I counsel⁴⁸²³ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ to buy⁵⁹ of³⁸⁴⁴ me¹⁷⁰⁰ gold⁵⁵⁵³ tried⁴⁴⁴⁸ in¹⁵³⁷ the fire,⁴⁴⁴² that²⁴⁴³ thou mayest be rich;⁴¹⁴⁷ and²⁵³² white³⁰²² raiment,²⁴⁴⁰ that²⁴⁴³ thou mayest be clothed,⁴⁰¹⁶ and²⁵³² that the³⁵⁸⁸ shame¹⁵² of thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ nakedness¹¹³² do not³³⁶¹ appear;⁵³¹⁹ and²⁵³² anoint¹⁴⁷² thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ eyes³⁷⁸⁸ with eye salve,²⁸⁵⁴ that²⁴⁴³ thou mayest see.⁹⁹¹

19  As many as^{3745 1437} I¹⁴⁷³ love,⁵³⁶⁸ I rebuke¹⁶⁵¹ and²⁵³² chasten:³⁸¹¹ be zealous²²⁰⁶ therefore,³⁷⁶⁷ and²⁵³² repent.³³⁴⁰

20  Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I stand²⁴⁷⁶ at¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ door,²³⁷⁴ and²⁵³² knock:²⁹²⁵ if¹⁴³⁷ any man⁵¹⁰⁰ hear¹⁹¹ my³⁴⁵⁰ voice,⁵⁴⁵⁶ and²⁵³² open⁴⁵⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ door,²³⁷⁴ I will come in¹⁵²⁵ to⁴³¹⁴ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² will sup¹¹⁷² with³³²⁶ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² he⁸⁴⁶ with³³²⁶ me.¹⁷⁰⁰

21  To him⁸⁴⁶ that overcometh³⁵²⁸ will I grant¹³²⁵ to sit²⁵²³ with³³²⁶ me¹⁷⁰⁰ in¹⁷²² my³⁴⁵⁰ throne,²³⁶² even as⁵⁶¹³ I also²⁵⁰⁴ overcame,³⁵²⁸ and²⁵³² am set down²⁵²³ with³³²⁶ my³⁴⁵⁰ Father³⁹⁶² in¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁸ throne.²³⁶²

22  He that hath²¹⁹² an ear,³⁷⁷⁵ let him hear¹⁹¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ churches.¹⁵⁷⁷

Vul

1 Et angelo ecclesiæ Sardis scribe: Hæc dicit qui habet septem spiritus Dei, et septem stellas: Scio opera tua, quia nomen habes quod vivas, et mortuus es.

2 Esto vigilans, et confirma cetera, quæ moritura erant. Non enim invenio opera tua plena coram Deo meo.

3 In mente ergo habe qualiter acceperis, et audieris, et serva, et pœnitentiam age. Si ergo non vigilaveris, veniam ad te tamquam fur et nescies qua hora veniam ad te.

4 Sed habes pauca nomina in Sardis qui non inquinaverunt vestimenta sua: et ambulabunt mecum in albis, quia digni sunt.

5 Qui vicerit, sic vestietur vestimentis albis, et non delebo nomen ejus de libro vitæ, et confitebor nomen ejus coram Patre meo, et coram angelis ejus.

6 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis.

7 Et angelo Philadelphiæ ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit Sanctus et Verus, qui habet clavem David: qui aperit, et nemo claudit: claudit, et nemo aperit:

8 Scio opera tua. Ecce dedi coram te ostium apertum, quod nemo potest claudere: quia modicam habes virtutem, et servasti verbum meum, et non negasti nomen meum.

9 Ecce dabo de synagoga Satanæ, qui dicunt se Judæos esse, et non sunt, sed mentiuntur: ecce faciam illos ut veniant, et adorent ante pedes tuos: et scient quia ego dilexi te,

10 quoniam servasti verbum patientiæ meæ, et ego servabo te ab hora tentationis, quæ ventura est in orbem universum tentare habitantes in terra.

11 Ecce venio cito: tene quod habes, ut nemo accipiat coronam tuam.

12 Qui vicerit, faciam illum columnam in templo Dei mei, et foras non egredietur amplius: et scribam super eum nomen Dei mei, et nomen civitatis Dei mei novæ Jerusalem, quæ descendit de cælo a Deo meo, et nomen meum novum.

13 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis.

14 Et angelo Laodiciæ ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit: Amen, testis fidelis et verus, qui est principium creaturæ Dei.

15 Scio opera tua: quia neque frigidus es, neque calidus: utinam frigidus esses, aut calidus:

16 sed quia tepidus es, et nec frigidus, nec calidus, incipiam te evomere ex ore meo:

17 quia dicis: Quod dives sum, et locupletatus, et nullius egeo: et nescis quia tu es miser, et miserabilis, et pauper, et cæcus, et nudus.

18 Suadeo tibi emere a me aurum ignitum probatum, ut locuples fias, et vestimentis albis induaris, et non appareat confusio nuditatis tuæ, et collyrio inunge oculos tuos ut videas.

19 Ego quos amo, arguo, et castigo. Æmulare ergo, et pœnitentiam age.

20 Ecce sto ad ostium, et pulso: si quis audierit vocem meam, et aperuerit mihi januam, intrabo ad illum, et cœnabo cum illo, et ipse mecum.

21 Qui vicerit, dabo ei sedere mecum in throno meo: sicut et ego vici, et sedi cum Patre meo in throno ejus.

22 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis.
