1 "To the angel "of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits "of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God.3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.4 Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy.5 The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels.6 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.7 "To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars —I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.13 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.14 "To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation.15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!16 So, because you are lukewarm —neither hot nor cold —I am about to spit you out of my mouth.17 You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.22 Whoever has ears, let them hear 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.
