WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 και τω αγγελω της εν σαρδεσιν εκκλησιας γραψον· ταδε λεγει ο εχων τα επτα πνευματα του θεου και τους επτα αστερας· οιδα σου τα εργα, οτι ονομα εχεις οτι ζης, και νεκρος ει.
1 Y ESCRIBE al ángel de la iglesia en SARDIS: El que tiene los siete Espíritus de Dios, y las siete estrellas, dice estas cosas: Yo conozco tus obras, que tienes nombre que vives, y 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 γινου γρηγορων, και στηρισον τα λοιπα α εμελλον αποθνησκειν· ου γαρ ευρηκα σου τα εργα πεπληρωμενα ενωπιον του θεου μου.
2 Sé vigilante y confirma las otras cosas que están para morir; porque no he hallado tus obras perfectas 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 μνημονευε ουν πως ειληφας [και ηκουσας, και τηρει] και μετανοησον. εαν ουν μη γρηγορησης, ηξω [επι σε] ως κλεπτης, και ου μη γνωση ποιαν ωραν ηξω επι σε.
3 Acuérdate pues de lo que has recibido y has oído, y guárda[lo], y arrepiéntete. Y si no velares, vendré á ti como ladrón, y no sabrás en qué hora vendré á 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 αλλα εχεις ολιγα ονοματα εν σαρδεσιν, α ουκ εμολυναν τα ιματια αυτων, και περιπατησουσιν μετ εμου εν λευκοις, οτι αξιοι εισιν.
4 Mas tienes unas pocas personas en Sardis que no han ensuciado sus vestiduras: y andarán conmigo en vestiduras blancas; porque son dignos.
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 ο νικων ουτως περιβαλειται εν ιματιοις λευκοις, και ου μη εξαλειψω το ονομα αυτου εκ της βιβλου της ζωης, και ομολογησω το ονομα αυτου ενωπιον του πατρος μου και ενωπιον των αγγελων αυτου.
5 El que venciere, será vestido de vestiduras blancas; y 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 ο εχων ους ακουσατω τι το πνευμα λεγει ταις εκκλησιαις.
6 El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice á las iglesias.
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
7 και τω αγγελω της εν φιλαδελφεια εκκλησιας γραψον· ταδε λεγει ο αγιος, ο αληθινος, ο εχων την κλειν του δαυιδ, ο ανοιγων και ουδεις κλεισει, και κλειων και ουδεις ανοιξει·
7 Y escribe al ángel de la iglesia en FILADELFIA: Estas cosas dice el Santo, el Verdadero, el que tiene la llave de David, el que abre y ninguno cierra, y cierra y ninguno 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 οιδα σου τα εργα·— ιδου δεδωκα ενωπιον σου θυραν ανεωγμενην, ην ουδεις δυναται κλεισαι αυτην·— οτι μικραν εχεις δυναμιν, και ετηρησας μου τον λογον και ουκ ηρνησω το ονομα μου.
8 Yo conozco tus obras: he aquí, he dado una puerta abierta delante de ti, la cual ninguno puede cerrar; porque tienes un poco de potencia, y 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 ιδου διδωμι εκ της συναγωγης του σατανα των λεγοντων εαυτους ιουδαιους ειναι, και ουκ εισιν, αλλα ψευδονται· ιδου ποιησω αυτους ινα ηξουσιν και προσκυνησουσιν ενωπιον των ποδων σου, και γνωσιν οτι [εγω] ηγαπησα σε.
9 He aquí, yo doy de la sinagoga de Satanás, los que se dicen ser Judíos, y no lo son, mas mienten; he aquí, yo los constreñiré á que vengan y adoren delante de tus pies, y sepan 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 οτι ετηρησας τον λογον της υπομονης μου, καγω σε τηρησω εκ της ωρας του πειρασμου της μελλουσης ερχεσθαι επι της οικουμενης ολης, πειρασαι τους κατοικουντας επι της γης.
10 Porque has guardado la palabra de mi paciencia, yo también te guardaré de la hora de la tentación que ha de venir en todo el mundo, para probar á los que moran 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 ερχομαι ταχυ· κρατει ο εχεις, ινα μηδεις λαβη τον στεφανον σου.
11 He aquí, yo vengo presto; retén lo que tienes, para que ninguno tome tu corona.
11 I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.
12 ο νικων, ποιησω αυτον στυλον εν τω ναω του θεου μου, και εξω ου μη εξελθη ετι, και γραψω επ αυτον το ονομα του θεου μου και το ονομα της πολεως του θεου μου, της καινης ιερουσαλημ, η καταβαινει εκ του ουρανου απο του θεου μου, και το ονομα μου το καινον.
12 Al que venciere, yo lo haré columna en el templo de mi Dios, y nunca más saldrá fuera; y escribiré sobre él el nombre de mi Dios, y el nombre de la ciudad de mi Dios, la nueva Jerusalem, la cual desciende del cielo de con 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 ο εχων ους ακουσατω τι το πνευμα λεγει ταις εκκλησιαις.
13 El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice á las iglesias.
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
14 και τω αγγελω της εν λαοδικεια εκκλησιας γραψον· ταδε λεγει ο αμην, ο μαρτυς ο πιστος και αληθινος, η αρχη της κτισεως του θεου·
14 Y escribe al ángel de la iglesia en LAODICEA: He aquí 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 οιδα σου τα εργα, οτι ουτε ψυχρος ει ουτε ζεστος· οφελον ψυχρος ης η ζεστος.
15 Yo conozco tus obras, que ni eres frío, ni caliente. ¡Ojalá fueses frío, ó caliente!
15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16 ουτως οτι χλιαρος ει, και ουτε ζεστος ουτε ψυχρος, μελλω σε εμεσαι εκ του στοματος μου.
16 Mas porque 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 οτι λεγεις οτι πλουσιος ειμι και πεπλουτηκα και ουδενος χρειαν εχω,— και ουκ οιδας οτι συ ει ο ταλαιπωρος και [ο] ελεεινος και πτωχος και τυφλος και γυμνος,—
17 Porque tú dices: Yo soy rico, y estoy enriquecido, y no tengo necesidad de ninguna cosa; y no conoces que tú eres un cuitado y miserable y pobre y 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 συμβουλευω σοι αγορασαι παρ εμου χρυσιον πεπυρωμενον εκ πυρος ινα πλουτησης, και ιματια λευκα ινα περιβαλη και μη φανερωθη η αισχυνη της γυμνοτητος σου, και κολλυριον ινα εγχριση τους οφθαλμους σου ινα βλεπης.
18 Yo te amonesto que de mí compres oro afinado en fuego, para que seas hecho rico, y seas vestido de vestiduras blancas, para que no se descubra la vergüenza de tu desnudez; y unge tus ojos con colirio, 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 εγω οσους εαν φιλω, ελεγχω και παιδευω· ζηλευε ουν και μετανοησον.
19 Yo reprendo y castigo á todos los que amo: sé pues celoso, y arrepiéntete.
19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 ιδου εστηκα επι την θυραν και κρουω· εαν τις ακουση της φωνης μου και ανοιξη την θυραν, και εισελευσομαι προς αυτον και δειπνησω μετ αυτου και αυτος μετ εμου.
20 He aquí, yo estoy á la puerta y llamo: si alguno oyere mi voz y abriere la puerta, entraré á él, y 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 ο νικων, δωσω αυτω καθισαι μετ εμου εν τω θρονω μου, ως καγω ενικησα και εκαθισα μετα του πατρος μου εν τω θρονω αυτου.
21 Al que venciere, yo le daré que se siente conmigo en mi trono; así como yo he vencido, y me he sentado 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 ο εχων ους ακουσατω τι το πνευμα λεγει ταις εκκλησιαις.
22 El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice á 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).

  1. Quotes verse 3:16 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIII, Chapters 21–23)

    … 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."

    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.
