1给撒狄教会的信
1And 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;
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。
2become watching, and strengthen the rest of the things that are about to die, for I have not found thy works fulfilled before God.
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。
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.
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。
4Thou 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.
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。
5He 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.
6圣灵向众教会所说的话，有耳的就应当听。’
6He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.
7给非拉铁非教会的信“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：
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!
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。
8I 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;
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。
9lo, 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.
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。
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.
11我必快来！你要持守你所有的，不要让人拿走你的冠冕。
11Lo, I come quickly, be holding fast that which thou hast, that no one may receive thy crown.
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。
12He 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.
13圣灵向众教会所说的话，有耳的就应当听。’
13He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.
14给老底嘉教会的信“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：
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;
15我知道你的行为，你不冷也不热；我巴不得你或冷或热。
15I have known thy works, that neither cold art thou nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.
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。
16So — because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit thee out of my mouth;
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。
17because 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,
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。
18I 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.
19凡是我所爱的，我就责备管教；所以你要热心，也要悔改。
19`As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;
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。
20lo, 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.
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。
21He 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.
22圣灵向众教会所说的话，有耳的就应当听。’”
22He who is having an ear — let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.`
