1 И анђелу сардске цркве напиши: Тако говори Онај што има седам Духова Божијих, и седам звезда: Знам твоја дела, да имаш име да си жив, а мртав си.
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 Стражи, и утврђуј остале који хоће да помру; јер не нађох твоја дела савршена пред Богом својим.
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 Опомињи се дакле, како си примио и како си чуо, и држи и покај се. Ако ли не узастражиш, доћи ћу на тебе као лупеж, и нећеш чути у који ћу час доћи на тебе.
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 Али имаш мало имена и у Сарду, који не опоганише својих хаљина, и ходиће са мном у белима, јер су достојни.
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 Који победи он ће се обући у хаљине беле, и нећу избрисати име његово из књиге живота, и признаћу име његово пред Оцем својим и пред анђелима Његовим.
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 Ко има ухо нека чује шта говори Дух црквама.
6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
7 И анђелу филаделфијске цркве напиши: Тако говори Свети и Истинити, који има кључ Давидов, који отвори и нико не затвори, који затвори и нико не отвори.
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 Знам твоја дела; гле, дадох пред тобом врата отворена, и нико их не може затворити; јер имаш мало силе, и држао си моју реч, и ниси се одрекао имена мог.
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 Ево дајем оне из зборнице сотонине који говоре да су Јевреји и нису, него лажу; ево ћу их учинити да дођу и да се поклоне пред ногама твојим, и да познаду да те ја љубим.
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 Јер си одржао реч трпљења мог, и ја ћу тебе сачувати од часа искушења, који ће доћи на сав васиони свет да искуша оне који живе на земљи.
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 Ево ћу доћи брзо: држи шта имаш, да нико не узме венац твој.
11 I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.
12 Који победи учинићу га стубом у цркви Бога свог, и више неће изићи напоље; и написаћу на њему име Бога свог, и име новог Јерусалима, града Бога мог, који силази с неба од Бога мог, и име моје ново.
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 Ко има ухо нека чује шта говори Дух црквама.
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
14 И анђелу лаодикијске цркве напиши: Тако говори Амин, Сведок Верни и Истинити, Почетак створења Божијег:
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 Знам твоја дела да ниси ни студен ни врућ. О да си студен или врућ!
15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16 Тако, будући млак, и ниси ни студен ни врућ, избљуваћу те из уста својих.
16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Јер говориш: Богат сам, и обогатио сам се, и ништа не потребујем; а не знаш да си ти несрећан, и невољан, и сиромах, и слеп, и го.
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 Саветујем те да купиш у мене злато жежено у огњу, да се обогатиш; и беле хаљине, да се обучеш, и да се не покаже срамота голотиње твоје; и масти очном помажи очи своје да видиш.
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 Ја које год љубим оне и карам и поучавам; постарај се дакле, и покај се.
19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Ево стојим на вратима и куцам: ако ко чује глас мој и отвори врата, ући ћу к њему и вечераћу с њиме, и он са мном.
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 Који победи даћу му да седне са мном на престолу мом, као и ја што победих и седох с Оцем својим на престолу Његовом.
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 Ко има ухо нека чује шта говори Дух црквама.
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.
