1 A nd to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Sardis write: These are the words of Him Who has the seven Spirits of God '> the sevenfold Holy Spirit] and the seven stars: I know your record and what you are doing; you are supposed to be alive, but you are dead.

¶ Y escribe al ángel de la Iglesia que está en Sardis: El que tiene los siete Espíritus de Dios, y las siete estrellas, dice estas cosas: Yo conozco tus obras; que tienes nombre de que vives, y estás muerto.

2 R ouse yourselves and keep awake, and strengthen and invigorate what remains and is on the point of dying; for I have not found a thing that you have done meeting the requirements of My God or perfect in His sight.

Sé vigilante, y confirma las otras cosas que están para morir; porque no he hallado tus obras perfectas delante de Dios.

3 S o call to mind the lessons you received and heard; continually lay them to heart and obey them, and repent. In case you will not rouse yourselves and keep awake and watch, I will come upon you like a thief, and you will not know or suspect at what hour I will come.

Acuérdate pues de lo que has recibido y has oído; y guárdalo, y arrepiéntete. Y si no velares, vendré a ti como ladrón, y no sabrás a qué hora vendré a ti.

4 Y et you still have a few names in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes, and they shall walk with Me in white, because they are worthy and deserving.

Mas tienes unas pocas personas también en Sardis que no han ensuciado sus vestiduras, y andarán conmigo en vestiduras blancas, porque son dignas.

5 T hus shall he who conquers (is victorious) be clad in white garments, and I will not erase or blot out his name from the Book of Life; I will acknowledge him and I will confess his name openly before My Father and before His angels.

El que venciere, será así 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.

6 H e who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).

El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las Iglesias.

7 A nd to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, He Who has the key of David, Who opens and no one shall shut, Who shuts and no one shall open:

¶ Y escribe al ángel de la Iglesia que está en Filadelfia: El Santo y Verdadero, que tiene la llave de David; que abre y ninguno cierra; que cierra y ninguno abre, dice estas cosas:

8 I know your works and what you are doing. See! I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept My Word and guarded My message and have not renounced or denied My name.

Yo conozco tus obras: he aquí, he dado la puerta abierta delante de ti, y ninguno la puede cerrar; porque tienes algo de potencia, y has guardado mi Palabra, y no has negado mi Nombre.

9 T ake note! I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet and learn and acknowledge that I have loved you.

He aquí, yo doy de la sinagoga de Satanás, a los que se dicen ser judíos, y no lo son, mas mienten; he aquí, yo los constreñiré a que vengan y adoren delante de tus pies, y sepan que yo te he amado.

10 B ecause you have guarded and kept My word of patient endurance '> lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you], I also will keep you from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth.

Porque has guardado la Palabra de mi paciencia, yo te guardaré de la hora de la tentación, que ha de venir en todo el universo mundo, para probar a los que moran en la tierra.

11 I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one may rob you and deprive you of your crown.

He aquí, que yo vengo presto; retén lo que tienes, para que ninguno tome tu corona.

12 H e who overcomes (is victorious), I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of My God; he shall never be put out of it or go out of it, and I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which descends from My God out of heaven, and My own new name.

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, que es la nueva Jerusalén, la cual desciende del cielo de con mi Dios, y mi Nombre nuevo.

13 H e who can hear, let him listen to and heed what the Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).

El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las Iglesias.

14 A nd to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the trusty and faithful and true Witness, the Origin and Beginning and Author of God’s creation:

¶ Y escribe al ángel de la Iglesia de los laodicenses: He aquí, el que dice Amén, el testigo fiel y verdadero, el principio de la creación de Dios;

15 I know your works and what you are doing; you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot!

Yo conozco tus obras, que ni eres frío, ni hirviente. ¡Bien que fueras frío, o hirviente!

16 S o, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth!

Mas porque eres tibio, y no frío ni hirviente, yo te vomitaré de mi boca.

17 F or you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.

Porque tú dices: Yo soy rico, y estoy enriquecido, y no tengo necesidad de ninguna cosa; y no conoces que tú eres un desventurado y miserable y pobre y ciego y desnudo;

18 T herefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.

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.

19 T hose whom I love, I tell their faults and convict and convince and reprove and chasten. So be enthusiastic and in earnest and burning with zeal and repent.

Yo reprendo y castigo a todos los que amo: sé pues celoso, y enmiéndate.

20 B ehold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he with Me.

He aquí, que yo estoy parado a la puerta y llamo; si alguno oyere mi voz, y abriere la puerta, entraré a él, y cenaré con él, y él conmigo.

21 H e who overcomes (is victorious), I will grant him to sit beside Me on My throne, as I Myself overcame (was victorious) and sat down beside My Father on His throne.

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.

22 H e who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).

El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las Iglesias.
