Revelation 3

1“To theG3588 angelG32 of theG3588 churchG1577 inG1722 SardisG4554 writeG1125:

TheseG3592 are the wordsG3004 of theG3588 One who holdsG2192 theG3588 sevenG2033 spiritsG41511 of GodG2316 andG2532 theG3588 sevenG2033 starsG792.

I knowG1492 yourG4771 deedsG2041; you haveG2192 a reputationG3686 forG3754 being aliveG2198, yetG2532 you areG1510 deadG3498. 2Wake upG1096G1127 andG2532 strengthenG4741 whatG3588 remainsG3062, whichG3739 is aboutG3195 to dieG599; forG1063 I have foundG2147 yourG4771 deedsG2041 incompleteG3756G4137 in the sight ofG1799 MyG1473 GodG2316. 3RememberG3421, thenG3767, whatG4459 you have receivedG2983 andG2532 heardG191. KeepG5083 it andG2532 repentG3340. IfG1437 you do not wake upG3361G1127, I will comeG2240 likeG5613 a thiefG2812, andG2532 you will not knowG3756G3361G1097 the hourG5610 whenG4169 I will comeG2240 uponG1909 youG4771.

4ButG235 you do haveG2192 a fewG3641 peopleG3686 inG1722 SardisG4554 whoG3739 have not soiledG3756G3435 theirG846 garmentsG2440, andG2532 becauseG3754 they areG1510 worthyG514, they will walkG4043 withG3326 MeG1473 inG1722 whiteG3022. 5LikeG3779 them, he whoG3588 overcomesG3528 will be dressedG4016 inG1722 whiteG3022. AndG2532 I will never blot outG3756G3361G18132 hisG846 nameG3686 fromG1537 theG3588 BookG976 of LifeG2222, but I will confessG3670 hisG846 nameG3686 beforeG1799 MyG1473 FatherG3962 andG2532 HisG846 angelsG32.

6He whoG3588 hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 theG3588 SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to theG3588 churchesG1577.

To the Church in Philadelphia

ToG3588 the angelG32 of theG3588 churchG1577 inG1722 PhiladelphiaG5359 writeG1125:

TheseG3592 are the wordsG3004 of theG3588 One who is holyG40 and trueG228, whoG3588 holdsG2192 theG3588 keyG2807 of DavidG1138. WhatG3588 He opensG455 no oneG3762 can shutG2808, andG2532 what He shutsG2808 no oneG3762 can openG455.3

8I knowG1492 yourG4771 deedsG2041. BeholdG2400, I have placedG1325 beforeG1799 youG4771 an openG455 doorG2374, whichG3739 no oneG3762 canG1410 shutG2808. I know that you haveG2192 only a littleG3398 strengthG1411, yetG2532 you have keptG5083 MyG1473 wordG3056 andG2532 have not deniedG3756G720 MyG1473 nameG3686. 9As forG2400 those who belong toG1537 theG3588 synagogueG4864 of SatanG4567, whoG3588 claimG3004 to beG1510 JewsG2453 but areG1510 liarsG5574 insteadG235, I will makeG1325G4160 themG846 comeG2240 andG2532 bow downG4352 atG1799 yourG4771 feetG4228, andG2532 they will knowG1097 thatG3754 IG1473 loveG25 youG4771.

10BecauseG3754 you have keptG5083 MyG1473 commandG3056 to persevereG5281, I will also keepG2504G5083 youG4771 fromG1537 theG3588 hourG5610 ofG3588 testingG3986 thatG3588 is aboutG3195 to comeG2064 uponG1909 theG3588 wholeG3650 worldG3625, to testG3985 those whoG3588 dwellG2730 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093. 11I am comingG2064 soonG5035.4 Hold fastG2902 to whatG3739 you haveG2192, so thatG2443 no oneG3367 will takeG2983 yourG4771 crownG4735. 12TheG3588 one who overcomesG3528 I will makeG4160 a pillarG4769 inG1722 theG3588 templeG3485 ofG3588 MyG1473 GodG2316, andG2532 he will never again leaveG3756G3361G2089G1831G1854 it. UponG1909 himG846 I will writeG1125 theG3588 nameG3686 ofG3588 MyG1473 GodG2316, andG2532 theG3588 nameG3686 of theG3588 cityG4172 ofG3588 MyG1473 GodG2316 (theG3588 newG2537 JerusalemG2419 thatG3588 comes downG2597 out ofG1537 heavenG3772 fromG575 MyG1473 GodG2316), andG2532 MyG1473 newG2537 nameG3686.

13He whoG3588 hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 theG3588 SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to theG3588 churchesG1577.

To the Church in Laodicea

(Colossians 2:1–5)

To theG3588 angelG32 of theG3588 churchG1577 inG1722 LaodiceaG2993 writeG1125:

TheseG3592 are the wordsG3004 of theG3588 AmenG281, theG3588 faithfulG4103 andG2532 trueG228 WitnessG3144, theG3588 OriginatorG7465 of God’sG2316 creationG2937.

15I knowG1492 yourG4771 deedsG2041; you areG1510 neitherG3777 coldG5593 norG3777 hotG2200. How I wishG3785 you wereG1510 one orG2228 the other! 16SoG3779 becauseG3754 you areG1510 lukewarmG5513—neitherG3777 hotG2200 norG3777 coldG5593—I am aboutG3195 to vomitG1692 youG4771 out ofG1537 MyG1473 mouthG4750!

17

You sayG3004, ‘I amG1510 richG4145; I have grown wealthyG4147 andG2532 needG2192G5532 nothingG3762.’ But you do not realizeG3756G1492 thatG3754 youG4771 areG1510 wretchedG5005, pitifulG1652, poorG4434, blindG5185, andG2532 nakedG1131. 18I counselG4823 youG4771 to buyG59 fromG3844 MeG1473 goldG5553 refinedG4448 byG1537 fireG4442 so thatG2443 you may become richG4147, whiteG3022 garmentsG2440 so thatG2443 you may be clothedG4016 andG2532 yourG4771 shamefulG152 nakednessG1132 not exposedG3361G5319, andG2532 salveG2854 to anointG1472 yourG4771 eyesG3788 so thatG2443 you may seeG991. 19ThoseG3745 IG1473 loveG1437G5368 I rebukeG1651 andG2532 disciplineG3811. ThereforeG3767 be earnestG2206 andG2532 repentG3340.

20BeholdG2400, I standG2476 atG1909 theG3588 doorG2374 andG2532 knockG2925. IfG1437 anyoneG5100 hearsG191 MyG1473 voiceG5456 andG2532 opensG455 theG3588 doorG2374, I will come inG1525 andG2532 dineG1172 withG3326 himG846, andG2532 heG846 withG3326 MeG1473. 21ToG846 the one whoG3588 overcomesG3528, I will grantG1325 the right to sitG2523 withG3326 MeG1473 onG1722 MyG1473 throneG2362, just asG5613 IG2504 overcameG3528 andG2532 sat downG2523 withG3326 MyG1473 FatherG3962 onG1722 HisG846 throneG2362.

22He whoG3588 hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 theG3588 SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to theG3588 churchesG1577.”
