1 I anđelu sardske crkve napiši: Tako govori Onaj što ima sedam Duhova Božijih, i sedam zvezda: Znam tvoja dela, da imaš ime da si živ, a mrtav si. 2 Straži, i utvrđuj ostale koji hoće da pomru; jer ne nađoh tvoja dela savršena pred Bogom svojim. 3 Opominji se dakle, kako si primio i kako si čuo, i drži i pokaj se. Ako li ne uzastražiš, doći ću na tebe kao lupež, i nećeš čuti u koji ću čas doći na tebe. 4 Ali imaš malo imena i u Sardu, koji ne opoganiše svojih haljina, i hodiće sa mnom u belima, jer su dostojni. 5 Koji pobedi on će se obući u haljine bele, i neću izbrisati ime njegovo iz knjige života, i priznaću ime njegovo pred Ocem svojim i pred anđelima Njegovim. 6 Ko ima uho neka čuje šta govori Duh crkvama. 7 I anđelu filadelfijske crkve napiši: Tako govori Sveti i Istiniti, koji ima ključ Davidov, koji otvori i niko ne zatvori, koji zatvori i niko ne otvori. 8 Znam tvoja dela; gle, dadoh pred tobom vrata otvorena, i niko ih ne može zatvoriti; jer imaš malo sile, i držao si moju reč, i nisi se odrekao imena mog. 9 Evo dajem one iz zbornice sotonine koji govore da su Jevreji i nisu, nego lažu; evo ću ih učiniti da dođu i da se poklone pred nogama tvojim, i da poznadu da te ja ljubim. 10 Jer si održao reč trpljenja mog, i ja ću tebe sačuvati od časa iskušenja, koji će doći na sav vasioni svet da iskuša one koji žive na zemlji. 11 Evo ću doći brzo: drži šta imaš, da niko ne uzme venac tvoj. 12 Koji pobedi učiniću ga stubom u crkvi Boga svog, i više neće izići napolje; i napisaću na njemu ime Boga svog, i ime novog Jerusalima, grada Boga mog, koji silazi s neba od Boga mog, i ime moje novo. 13 Ko ima uho neka čuje šta govori Duh crkvama. 14 I anđelu laodikijske crkve napiši: Tako govori Amin, Svedok Verni i Istiniti, Početak stvorenja Božijeg: 15 Znam tvoja dela da nisi ni studen ni vruć. O da si studen ili vruć! 16 Tako, budući mlak, i nisi ni studen ni vruć, izbljuvaću te iz usta svojih. 17 Jer govoriš: Bogat sam, i obogatio sam se, i ništa ne potrebujem; a ne znaš da si ti nesrećan, i nevoljan, i siromah, i slep, i go. 18 Savetujem te da kupiš u mene zlato žeženo u ognju, da se obogatiš; i bele haljine, da se obučeš, i da se ne pokaže sramota golotinje tvoje; i masti očnom pomaži oči svoje da vidiš. 19 Ja koje god ljubim one i karam i poučavam; postaraj se dakle, i pokaj se. 20 Evo stojim na vratima i kucam: ako ko čuje glas moj i otvori vrata, ući ću k njemu i večeraću s njime, i on sa mnom. 21 Koji pobedi daću mu da sedne sa mnom na prestolu mom, kao i ja što pobedih i sedoh s Ocem svojim na prestolu Njegovom. 22 Ko ima uho neka čuje šta govori Duh crkvama.

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.
