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 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 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 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 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 has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

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 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 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 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 I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown. 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 has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

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 know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot. 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth. 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 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 reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent. 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 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 has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies."

1 "你要写信给在撒狄教会的使者， 说： ‘那有 神七灵和七星的这样说： 我知道你的行为， 你有名声， 说你是活着的， 其实你是死的。

2 你要警醒， 把那些剩下来将要死的坚强起来； 因为我见你的行为在我 神面前是不完全的。

3 所以， 你应当回想你是怎样领受、怎样听见的； 应该遵守， 也应该悔改。你若不警醒， 我就要像贼来到一样。我什么时候来到你那里， 你决不能知道。

4 然而在撒狄你还有几名是未曾玷污自己衣服的， 他们要身穿白衣与我同行； 因为他们是配得上的。

5 得胜的， 也必这样身穿白衣， 我决不从生命册上涂抹他的名， 我还要在我父和他的众天使面前， 承认他的名。

6 圣灵向众教会所说的话， 有耳的就应当听。’

7 "你要写信给在非拉铁非教会的使者， 说： ‘那圣洁的、真实的， 拿着大卫的钥匙， 开了就没有人能关， 关了就没有人能开的（"拿着大卫的钥匙......没有人能开的"引自赛22:22）， 这样说：

8 我知道你的行为， 看哪！ 我已经在你面前给你一道开着的门， 是没有人能关的； 因为你有一点点力量， 也遵守我的道， 没有否认我的名。

9 看哪！ 从撒但的一党， 就是自称是犹太人， 其实不是犹太人， 而是说谎的人中， 我要使他们一些人来在你脚前下拜， 并且知道我已经爱了你。

10 你既然遵守了我忍耐的道， 我也必定保守你脱离那试炼的时候； 这就是那将要临到普天下， 来试炼住在地上的人的时候。

11 我必快来！ 你要持守你所有的， 不要让人拿走你的冠冕。

12 得胜的， 我要叫他在我 神的圣所里作柱子， 他决不再出去， 我也要把我 神的名， 和我 神的城的名， 就是那从天上、从我 神那里降下来的新耶路撒冷， 以及我的新名， 都写在他身上。

13 圣灵向众教会所说的话， 有耳的就应当听。’

14 "你要写信给在老底嘉教会的使者， 说： ‘那位阿们的， 忠信真实的见证人， 神创造万有的根源， 这样说：

15 我知道你的行为， 你不冷也不热； 我巴不得你或冷或热。

16 因为你好像温水， 不热也不冷， 所以我要把你从我口中吐出去。

17 你说： 我是富足的， 已经发了财， 毫无缺乏。却不知你是困苦的、可怜的、贫穷的、瞎眼的、赤身的。

18 我劝你向我买精炼的金子， 使你富足； 又买白衣穿上， 使你赤身的羞耻不会显露出来； 也买眼药膏抹你的眼睛， 使你可以看见。

19 凡是我所爱的， 我就责备管教； 所以你要热心， 也要悔改。

20 看哪！ 我站在门外敲门； 如果有人听见我的声音就开门的， 我要进到他那里去， 我要跟他在一起， 他也要跟我在一起吃饭。

21 得胜的， 我必定赐他和我一同坐在我的宝座上， 正像我得了胜和我父一同坐在他的宝座上一样。

22 圣灵向众教会所说的话， 有耳的就应当听。’"
