1 Un Sardu draudzes eņģelim raksti: Tā saka tas, kam septiņi Dieva gari un kam septiņas zvaigznes: Es zinu tavus darbus, tev ir vārds, ka tu dzīvo, bet tu esi miris.
2 Uzmosties un stiprini tos, kas taisās mirt, jo es neatradu tavus darbus pilnīgus mana Dieva priekšā!
3 Atceries tāpēc, ko tu esi dabūjis un dzirdējis. Turi to un atgriezies! Ja tu nebūsi nomodā, es nākšu kā zaglis, un tu nezināsi, kūjā stundā es nākšu pār tevi.
4 Tev ir maz Sardos tādu, kas nav aptraipījuši drēbes; viņi staigās ar mani baltās drēbēs, jo viņi ir tā cienīgi.
5 Kas uzvar, tas būs ģērbts baltās drēbēs, un es viņa vārdu neizdzēsīšu no dzīvības grāmatas, viņa vārdu es apliecināšu mana Tēva un viņa eņģeļu priekšā. Kam ausis, lai dzird, ko gars saka draudzēm.
6 Un Filadelfijas draudzes eņģelim raksti:
7 Tā saka Svētais, patiesīgais, kam Dāvida atslēga, kas atver, un neviens neaizslēdz, kas aizslēdz, un neviens neatvep.
8 Es zinu tavus darbus. Redzi, es tavā priekšā esmu devis atvērtas durvis, ko neviens nevar aizslēgt—tev ir maz spēka, un tomēr manu mācību tu esi turējis un neaizliedzis manu vārdu.
9 Redzi, es došu tev no sātāna sinagogas, kas saucas par jūdiem un nav tādi, bet melo, —redzi, es darīšu, ka viņi nāks, metīsies pie tavām kājām un atzīs, ka es esmu tevi mīlējis.
10 Tāpēc, ka tu esi turējis manu pacietības mācību, es tevi sargāšu pār-baudīšanas stundā, kas nāks pār visu pasauli, pārbaudīt tos, kas dzīvo virs zemes.
11 Es nākšu drīz; turi, kas tev ir, ka neviens neatņem tavu vainagu.
12 To, kas uzvar, es darīšu par balstu sava Dieva namā, un viņš no tā nekad neaizies, un es rakstīšu uz viņa sava Dieva vārdu, arī savas Dieva pilsētas, jaunās Jeruzālemes vārdu, kas nokāpj no debesim, no mana Dieva, un manu jauno vārdu.
13 Kam ausīs, lai dzird, ko gars saka draudzēm.
14 Un Laodiķejas draudzes eņģelim raksti: Tā saka tas, kas ir Āmen, uzticīgais un patiesīgais liecinieks, Dieva radības sākums.
15 Es zinu tavus darbus, ka tu neesi ne auksts, ne karsts. Kaut jel tu būtu auksts vai karsts.
16 Tā kā tu esi remdens, ne auksts, ne karsts, es tevi izspļaušu no savas mutes.
17 Tu saki: es esmu bagāts bagātīgi, un man nav nekāda trūkuma, bet tu nezini, ka tu esi nelaimīgs, nožēlojams, nabags, akls un kails.
18 Es tev došu padomu: pērc no manis zeltu, uguns kvēlē kausētu, lai tu būtu bagāts, un baltas drēbes, lai tu apsegtos, un tava kailuma kauns neatklātos, un acu zāles, tavas acis svaidīt, lai tu kļūtu redzīgs.
19 Jo, ko es mīlu, tos es pārmācu un pamācu, tad nu iekārsies un atgriezies!
20 Redzi, es stāvu durvju priekšā un klaudzinu. Ja kas dzird manu balsi un durvis atdara, es ieiešu pie viņa un turēšu ar viņu mielastu, un viņš ar mani.
21 Tam, kas uzvar, es došu sēdēt pie manis, uz mana goda krēsla, tā, kā es esmu uzvarējis un sēdu pie mana tēva uz viņa goda krēsla. —
22 Kam ausis, lai dzird, ko gars saka draudzēm.
1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; 8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
