1 Escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Sardis: Esto dice el que tiene los siete Espíritus de Dios y las siete estrellas: Yo conozco tus obras. Tienes fama de estar vivo, pero estás muerto.
1 “And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: “He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars says these things: “I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
2 Mantente despierto y fortalece lo que queda, lo que está a punto de morir; porque no he hallado tus obras completas delante de Dios.
2 Wake up and strengthen the things that remain, which you were about to throw away, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God.
3 Recuerda, pues, lo que recibiste y oíste. Guárdalo y arrepiéntete. Si no te mantienes despierto, vendré como ladrón, y no sabrás a qué hora vendré sobre ti.
3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.
4 Pero tienes unas pocas personas en Sardis que no han manchado sus vestiduras. Ellas caminarán conmigo vestidas de blanco, porque son dignas.
4 Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that didn’t defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
5 El que venza será vestido de vestiduras blancas. No borraré su nombre del libro de la vida, y confesaré su nombre delante de mi Padre y delante de sus ángeles.
5 He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias.
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
7 Escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Filadelfia: Esto dice el Santo, el Verdadero, el que tiene la llave de David, el que abre y nadie cierra, y cierra y nadie abre:
7 “To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:
8 Yo conozco tus obras. Mira, he puesto delante de ti una puerta abierta que nadie puede cerrar. Aunque tienes poca fuerza, has guardado mi palabra y no has negado mi nombre.
8 “I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn’t deny my name.
9 Mira, haré que algunos de la sinagoga de Satanás, los que dicen ser judíos y no lo son, sino que mienten, vengan y se postren delante de tus pies, y reconozcan que yo te he amado.
9 Behold, I make some of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie—behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
10 Porque has guardado mi palabra de perseverancia, yo también te guardaré de la hora de la prueba que vendrá sobre el mundo entero, para probar a los que viven en la tierra.
10 Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 Yo vengo pronto. Retén lo que tienes, para que nadie tome tu corona.
11 I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.
12 Al que venza, lo haré columna en el templo de mi Dios, y nunca más saldrá de allí. Escribiré sobre él el nombre de mi Dios, el nombre de la ciudad de mi Dios, la nueva Jerusalén, que desciende del cielo de parte de mi Dios, y mi nombre nuevo.
12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on 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 own new name.
13 El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias.
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
14 Escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Laodicea: Esto dice el Amén, el testigo fiel y verdadero, el principio de la creación de Dios:
14 “To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: “The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of God’s creation, says these things:
15 Yo conozco tus obras, que no eres frío ni caliente. ¡Ojalá fueras frío o caliente!
15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16 Pero por cuanto eres tibio, y no frío ni caliente, te vomitaré de mi boca.
16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Tú dices: Soy rico, me he enriquecido y no necesito nada. Pero no sabes que eres miserable, digno de lástima, pobre, ciego y desnudo.
17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing,’ and don’t know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;
18 Por eso te aconsejo que de mí compres oro refinado en fuego, para que seas rico; vestiduras blancas para cubrirte, para que no se vea la vergüenza de tu desnudez; y colirio para ungir tus ojos, para que veas.
18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.
19 Yo reprendo y disciplino a todos los que amo. Por tanto, sé fervoroso y arrepiéntete.
19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Mira, yo estoy a la puerta y llamo. Si alguien oye mi voz y abre la puerta, entraré a él, cenaré con él, y él conmigo.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me.
21 Al que venza, le concederé sentarse conmigo en mi trono, así como yo vencí y me senté con mi Padre en su trono.
21 He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias.
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… that not only what is equal and consubstantial with God is said to proceed out of His mouth, let them hear or read what God says: "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." There is no ground, then, for our objecting, when the apostle so expressly distinguishes the …

… given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor." And taste may be included, in accordance with which God hateth the bitter in temper, and spueth out of His mouth those who are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot: and Christ our God saith, "My meat is to do the will of Him that …

When I spare, thou singest and praisest: when I chasten, thou murmurest: as though, when I spare, I am thy God: and, when I chasten, I am not thy God. "I rebuke and chasten those whom I love." "But thou hatest instruction: and hast thrown My sayings behind thee." The words that are said through thee, thou throwest behind thee.
