The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 3
{3:1} "And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write:
He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these
things:
"I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but
you are dead. {3:2} Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which
you were about to throw away, for I have found no works of yours
perfected before my God. {3:3} Remember therefore how you have
received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you won't watch,
I will come as a thief, and you won't know what hour I will come upon
you. {3:4} Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not
defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are
worthy. {3:5} He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and
I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will
confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. {3:6} He who
has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
{3:7} "To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write:
"He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who
opens and no one can shut, and that shuts and no one opens, says these
things:
{3:8} "I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open
door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept
my word, and didn't deny my name. {3:9} Behold, I give of the
synagogue of Hasatan, of those who say they are Yehudim, and they are
not, but lie. Behold, I will make them to come and worship before your
feet, and to know that I have loved you. {3:10} Because you kept the
word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of testing,
that which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on
the [1>]eretz[<1]. {3:11} I come quickly. Hold firmly that which you
have, so that no one takes your crown. {3:12} He who overcomes, I will
make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from
there no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of
the city of my God, the new Yerushalayim, which comes down out of
heaven from my God, and my own new name. {3:13} He who has an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
{3:14} "To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write:
"The Amein, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's
creation, says these things: {3:15} "I know your works, that you are
neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot. {3:16} So, because
you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my
mouth. {3:17} Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and
have need of nothing;' and don't know that you are the wretched one,
miserable, poor, blind, and naked; {3:18} I counsel you to buy from me
gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments,
that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may
not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.
{3:19} As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore,
and repent. {3:20} Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and
will dine with him, and he with me. {3:21} He who overcomes, I will
give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and
sat down with my Father on his throne. {3:22} He who has an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies."
