1 And to the messenger of the assembly in Sardis write: These things saith he who is having the Seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I have known thy works, and that thou hast the name that thou dost live, and thou art dead;
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 become watching, and strengthen the rest of the things that are about to die, for I have not found thy works fulfilled before God.
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 'Remember, then, how thou hast received, and heard, and be keeping, and reform: if, then, thou mayest not watch, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou mayest not know what hour I will come upon thee.
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 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis who did not defile their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
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 He who is overcoming — this one — shall be arrayed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the scroll of the life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before His messengers.
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 He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.
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 'And to the messenger of the assembly in Philadelphia write: These things saith he who is holy, he who is true, he who is having the key of David, he who is opening and no one doth shut, and he shutteth and no one doth open!
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 I have known thy works; lo, I have set before thee a door — opened, and no one is able to shut it, because thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name;
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 lo, I make of the synagogue of the Adversary those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but do lie; lo, I will make them that they may come and bow before thy feet, and may know that I loved thee.
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 'Because thou didst keep the word of my endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of the trial that is about to come upon all the world, to try those dwelling upon the earth.
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 Lo, I come quickly, be holding fast that which thou hast, that no one may receive thy crown.
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 He who is overcoming — I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and without he may not go any more, and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, that doth come down out of the heaven from my God — also my new name.
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 He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.
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 'And to the messenger of the assembly of the Laodiceans write: These things saith the Amen, the witness — the faithful and true — the chief of the creation of God;
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 I have known thy works, that neither cold art thou nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.
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 So — because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit thee out of my mouth;
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 because thou sayest — I am rich, and have grown rich, and have need of nothing, and hast not known that thou art the wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked,
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 I counsel thee to buy from me gold fired by fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white garments that thou mayest be arrayed, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be manifest, and with eye-salve anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.
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 'As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;
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 lo, I have stood at the door, and I knock; if any one may hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
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 He who is overcoming — I will give to him to sit with me in my throne, as I also did overcome and did sit down with my Father in His throne.
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 He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.'
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 …

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.
