1 And to the angel of the church of Sardis, write: These things said he, that has the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have the name of being alive: and you are dead.
2 Be watchful and strengthen the things that remain, which are ready to die. For I find not your works full before my God.
3 Have in mind therefore in what manner you have received and heard: and observe, and do penance. If then you shall not watch, I will come to you as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come to you.
4 But you have a few names in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
5 He 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.
6 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to the churches.
7 And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia, write: These things says the Holy One and the true one, he that has the key of David; he that opens, and no man shuts; shuts, and no man opens:
8 I know your works. Behold, I have given before you a door opened, which no man can shut: because you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name.
9 Behold, 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 your feet. And they shall know that I have loved you.
10 Because you have kept the word of my patience, I will also keep you from the hour of the temptation, which shall come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that which you have, that no man take your crown.
12 He 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 comes down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.
13 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
14 And to the angel of the church of Laodicea, write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, who is the beginning of the creation of God:
15 I know your works, that you are neither cold, nor hot. I would you were cold, or hot.
16 But because you are lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Because you say: I am rich and made wealthy and have need of nothing: and know not that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.
18 I counsel you to buy of me gold fire tried, that you may be made rich and may be clothed in white garments: and that the shame of your nakedness may not appear. And anoint your eyes with eyesalve, that you may see.
19 Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance.
20 Behold, 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.
21 To 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.
22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
