Revelation

给撒狄教会的信

1「你要写信给撒狄教会的使者，说：『那有 神的七灵和七星的，说：我知道你的行为，按名你是活的，其实是死的。

2你要警醒，坚固那剩下将要衰微的；因我见你的行为，在我 神面前，没有一样是完全的。

3所以要回想你是怎样领受、怎样听见的，又要遵守，并要悔改。若不警醒，我必临到你那里，如同贼一样。我几时临到，你也决不能知道。

4然而在撒狄，你还有几名是未曾污秽自己衣服的，他们要穿白衣与我同行，因为他们是配得过的。

5凡得胜的必这样穿白衣，我也必不从生命册上涂抹他的名；且要在我父面前，和我父众使者面前，认他的名。

6圣灵向众教会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听！』」

给非拉铁非教会的信

7「你要写信给非拉铁非教会的使者，说：『那圣洁、真实、拿着大卫的钥匙、开了就没有人能关、关了就没有人能开的，说：

8我知道你的行为，你略有一点力量，也曾遵守我的道，没有弃绝我的名。看哪，我在你面前给你一个敞开的门，是无人能关的。

9那撒但一会的，自称是犹太人，其实不是犹太人，乃是说谎话的，我要使他们来，在你脚前下拜，也使他们知道我是已经爱你了。

10你既遵守我忍耐的道，我必在普天下人受试炼的时候，保守你免去你的试炼。

11我必快来，你要持守你所有的，免得人夺去你的冠冕。

12得胜的，我要叫他在我 神殿中作柱子，他也必不再从那里出去。我又要将我 神的名和我 神城的名（这城就是从天上、从我 神那里降下来的新耶路撒冷），并我的新名，都写在他上面。

13圣灵向众教会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听！』」

给老底嘉教会的信

14「你要写信给老底嘉教会的使者，说：『那为阿们的，为诚信真实见证的，在 神创造万物之上为元首的，说：

15我知道你的行为，你也不冷也不热；我巴不得你或冷或热。

16你既如温水，也不冷也不热，所以我必从我口中把你吐出去。

17你说：我是富足，已经发了财，一样都不缺；却不知道你是那困苦、可怜、贫穷、瞎眼、赤身的。

18我劝你向我买火炼的金子，叫你富足；又买白衣穿上，叫你赤身的羞耻不露出来；又买眼药擦你的眼睛，使你能看见。

19凡我所疼爱的，我就责备管教他；所以你要发热心，也要悔改。

20看哪，我站在门外叩门，若有听见我声音就开门的，我要进到他那里去，我与他，他与我一同坐席。

21得胜的，我要赐他在我宝座上与我同坐，就如我得了胜，在我父的宝座上与他同坐一般。

22圣灵向众教会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听！』」

To the Church in Sardis

1“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of the One who holds the seven spiritsof God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation for being alive, yet you are dead.

2Wake up and strengthen what remains, which is about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God.

3Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you.

4But you do have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments, and because they are worthy, they will walk with Me in white.

5Like them, he who overcomes will be dressed in white. And I will never blot outhis name from the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and His angels.

6He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

To the Church in Philadelphia

7To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One 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.

8I know your deeds. Behold, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. I know that you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name.

9As for those who belong to the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews but are liars instead, I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will know that I love you.

10Because you have kept My command to persevere, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

11I am coming soon.Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.

12The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will never again leave it. Upon him I will write the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from My God), and My new name.

13He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

To the Church in Laodicea

14To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Originatorof God’s creation.

15I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other!

16So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth!

17You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.

18I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, white garments so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness not exposed, and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.

19Those I love I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent.

20Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me.

21To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

22He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
