1 And to the angel of the church in Sardis say: These things says he who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: I have knowledge of your works, that you seem to be living but are dead.2 Be on the watch, and make strong the rest of the things which are near to death; because as judged by me your works have not come up to God's measure.3 Keep in mind, then, the teaching which was given to you, and be ruled by it and have a change of heart. If then you do not keep watch, I will come like a thief, and you will have no knowledge of the hour when I will come on you.4 But you have some names in Sardis who have kept clean their robes; and as a reward they will go in white with me.5 He who overcomes will be dressed in white, and I will not take his name from the book of life, and I will give witness to his name before my Father, and before his angels.6 He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia say: These things says he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, opening the door so that it may be shut by no one, and shutting it so that it may be open to no one.8 I have knowledge of your works (see, I have put before you an open door which may be shut by no one), and that you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have been true to my name.9 See, I will make those of the Synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and are not, but say what is false; I will make them come and give worship before your feet, and see my love for you.10 Because you have kept my word in quiet strength, I will keep you from the hour of testing which is coming on all the world, to put to the test those who are on earth.11 I come quickly: keep that which you have, so that no one may take your crown.12 Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the house of my God, and he will go out no more: and I will put on him the name of my God, and the name of the town of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.13 He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.14 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea say: These things says the true and certain witness, the head of God's new order:15 I have knowledge of your works, that you are not cold or warm: it would be better if you were cold or warm.16 So because you are not one thing or the other, I will have no more to do with you.17 For you say, I have wealth, and have got together goods and land, and have need of nothing; and you are not conscious of your sad and unhappy condition, that you are poor and blind and without clothing.18 If you are wise you will get from me gold tested by fire, so that you may have true wealth; and white robes to put on, so that your shame may not be seen; and oil for your eyes, so that you may see.19 To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways.20 See, I am waiting at the door and giving the sign; if my voice comes to any man's ears and he makes the door open, I will come in to him, and will take food with him and he with me.21 To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat.22 He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

1 Et angelo ecclesi Sardis scribe : Hc 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, qu moritura erant. Non enim invenio opera tua plena coram Deo meo. 3 In mente ergo habe qualiter acceperis, et audieris, et serva, et pnitentiam 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 vit, et confitebor nomen ejus coram Patre meo, et coram angelis ejus. 6 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis.7 Et angelo Philadelphi ecclesi scribe : Hc 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 Satan, qui dicunt se Judos 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 patienti me, et ego servabo te ab hora tentationis, qu 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 nov Jerusalem, qu descendit de clo a Deo meo, et nomen meum novum. 13 Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis.14 Et angelo Laodici ecclesi scribe : Hc dicit : Amen, testis fidelis et verus, qui est principium creatur 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 ccus, et nudus. 18 Suadeo tibi emere a me aurum ignitum probatum, ut locuples fias, et vestimentis albis induaris, et non appareat confusio nuditatis tu, et collyrio inunge oculos tuos ut videas. 19 Ego quos amo, arguo, et castigo. mulare ergo, et pnitentiam age. 20 Ecce sto ad ostium, et pulso : si quis audierit vocem meam, et aperuerit mihi januam, intrabo ad illum, et cnabo 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.
