WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Και προς τον άγγελον της εν Σάρδεσιν εκκλησίας γράψον· Ταύτα λέγει ο έχων τα επτά πνεύματα του Θεού και τους επτά αστέρας. Εξεύρω τα έργα σου, ότι το όνομα έχεις ότι ζης και είσαι νεκρός.
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 Γίνου άγρυπνος και στήριξον τα λοιπά, τα οποία μέλλουσι να αποθάνωσι· διότι δεν εύρηκα τα έργα σου τέλεια ενώπιον του Θεού.
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 Ενθυμού λοιπόν πως έλαβες και ήκουσας, και φύλαττε αυτά και μετανόησον. Εάν λοιπόν δεν αγρυπνήσης, θέλω ελθεί επί σε ως κλέπτης, και δεν θέλεις γνωρίσει ποίαν ώραν θέλω ελθεί επί 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 Έχεις ολίγα ονόματα και εν Σάρδεσι, τα οποία δεν εμόλυναν τα ιμάτια αυτών, και θέλουσι περιπατήσει μετ' εμού με λευκά, διότι είναι άξιοι.
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 νικών, ούτος θέλει ενδυθή ιμάτια λευκά, και δεν θέλω εξαλείψει το όνομα αυτού εκ του βιβλίου της ζωής, και θέλω ομολογήσει το όνομα αυτού ενώπιον του Πατρός μου και ενώπιον των αγγέλων αυτού.
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 Όστις έχει ωτίον, ας ακούση τι λέγει το Πνεύμα προς τας εκκλησίας.
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 προς τον άγγελον της εν Φιλαδελφεία εκκλησίας γράψον· Ταύτα λέγει ο άγιος, ο αληθινός, ο έχων το κλειδίον του Δαβίδ, όστις ανοίγει και ουδείς κλείει, και κλείει και ουδείς ανοίγει·
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 Εξεύρω τα έργα σου· ιδού, έθεσα ενώπιόν σου θύραν ανεωγμένην, και ουδείς δύναται να κλείση αυτήν· διότι έχεις μικράν δύναμιν και εφύλαξας τον λόγον μου και δεν ηρνήθης το όνομά 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 Ιδού, θέλω κάμει τους εκ της συναγωγής του Σατανά, οίτινες λέγουσιν εαυτούς ότι είναι Ιουδαίοι, και δεν είναι, αλλά ψεύδονται ιδού, θέλω κάμει αυτούς να έλθωσι και να προσκυνήσωσιν ενώπιον των ποδών σου και να γνωρίσωσιν ότι εγώ σε ηγάπησα.
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 Επειδή εφύλαξας τον λόγον της υπομονής μου, και εγώ θέλω σε φυλάξει εκ της ώρας του πειρασμού, ήτις μέλλει να έλθη επί της οικουμένης όλης, διά να δοκιμάση τους κατοικούντας επί 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 Ιδού, έρχομαι ταχέως· κράτει εκείνο το οποίον έχεις, διά να μη λάβη μηδείς τον στέφανόν 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 Όστις νικά, θέλω κάμει αυτόν στύλον εν τω ναώ του Θεού μου, και δεν θέλει εξέλθει πλέον έξω, και θέλω γράψει επ' αυτόν το όνομα του Θεού μου και το όνομα της πόλεως του Θεού μου, της νέας Ιερουσαλήμ, ήτις καταβαίνει εκ του ουρανού από του Θεού μου, και το όνομά μου το νέον.
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 Όστις έχει ωτίον, ας ακούση τι λέγει το Πνεύμα προς τας εκκλησίας.
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 προς τον άγγελον της εκκλησίας των Λαοδικέων γράψον· Ταύτα λέγει ο Αμήν, ο μάρτυς ο πιστός και αληθινός, η αρχή της κτίσεως του Θεού.
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 Εξεύρω τα έργα σου, ότι ούτε ψυχρός είσαι ούτε ζεστός· είθε να ήσο ψυχρός ή ζεστός·
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 ούτως, επειδή είσαι χλιαρός και ούτε ψυχρός ούτε ζεστός, μέλλω να σε εξεμέσω εκ του στόματός 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 Διότι λέγεις ότι πλούσιος είμαι και επλούτησα και δεν έχω χρείαν ουδενός, και δεν εξεύρεις ότι συ είσαι ο ταλαίπωρος και ελεεινός και πτωχός και τυφλός και γυμνός·
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 συμβουλεύω σε να αγοράσης παρ' εμού χρυσίον δεδοκιμασμένον εκ πυρός διά να πλουτήσης, και ιμάτια λευκά διά να ενδυθής και να μη φανερωθή η αισχύνη της γυμνότητός σου, και χρίσον τους οφθαλμούς σου με κολλούριον διά να βλέπης.
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 Εγώ όσους αγαπώ, ελέγχω και παιδεύω· γενού λοιπόν ζηλωτής και μετανόησον.
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 Ιδού, ίσταμαι εις την θύραν και κρούω· εάν τις ακούση της φωνής μου και ανοίξη την θύραν, θέλω εισέλθει προς αυτόν και θέλω δειπνήσει μετ' αυτού και αυτός μετ' εμού.
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 Όστις νικά, θέλω δώσει εις αυτόν να καθήση μετ' εμού εν τω θρόνω μου, καθώς και εγώ ενίκησα και εκάθησα μετά του Πατρός μου εν τω θρόνω αυτού.
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 Όστις έχει ωτίον, ας ακούση τι λέγει το Πνεύμα προς τας εκκλησίας.
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).
… 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.
