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！』」

1And to the angel of the church of Sardis, write: These things saith he, that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast the name of being alive: and thou art dead.

2Be watchful and strengthen the things that remain, which are ready to die. For I find not thy works full before my God.

3Have in mind therefore in what manner thou hast received and heard: and observe, and do penance. If then thou shalt not watch, I will come to thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come to thee.

4But thou hast a few names in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.

5He that shall overcome, shall thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

6He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

7And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia, write: These things saith the Holy One and the true one, he that hath the key of David; he that openeth, and no man shutteth; shutteth, and no man openeth:

8I know thy works. Behold, I have given before thee a door opened, which no man can shut: because thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

9Behold, I will bring of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and adore before thy feet. And they shall know that I have loved thee.

10Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of the temptation, which shall come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth.

11Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

12He that shall overcome, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; and he shall go out no more; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.

13He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

14And to the angel of the church of Laodicea, write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, who is the beginning of the creation of God:

15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot.

16But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.

17Because thou sayest: I am rich, and made wealthy, and have need of nothing: and knowest not, that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

18I counsel thee to buy of me gold fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich; and mayest be clothed in white garments, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance.

20Behold, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
