1 “ Escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Sardis: ‘El que tiene los siete Espíritus de Dios y las siete estrellas, dice esto: “Yo conozco tus obras, que tienes nombre de que vives, pero estás muerto.

And 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.

2 P onte en vela y afirma las cosas que quedan, que estaban a punto de morir, porque no he hallado completas tus obras delante de Mi Dios.

Rouse 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.

3 A cuérdate, pues, de lo que has recibido y oído; guárda lo y arrepiéntete. Por tanto, si no velas, vendré como ladrón, y no sabrás a qué hora vendré sobre ti.

So 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.

4 P ero tienes unos pocos en Sardis que no han manchado sus vestiduras, y andarán conmigo vestidos de blanco, porque son dignos.

Yet 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.

5 A sí el vencedor será vestido de vestiduras blancas y no borraré su nombre del Libro de la Vida, y reconoceré su nombre delante de Mi Padre y delante de Sus ángeles.

Thus 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.

8 “ Yo conozco tus obras. Por tanto he puesto delante de ti una puerta abierta que nadie puede cerrar. Aunque tienes poco poder, has guardado Mi palabra y no has negado Mi nombre.

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.

9 P or tanto, Yo entregaré a aquéllos de la sinagoga de Satanás que se dicen ser Judíos y no lo son, sino que mienten; Yo haré que vengan y se postren a tus pies, y sepan que Yo te he amado.

Take 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.

10 P orque has guardado la palabra de Mi perseverancia, Yo también te guardaré de la hora de la prueba (de la tentación), esa hora que está por venir sobre todo el mundo para poner a prueba a los que habitan sobre la tierra.

Because 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.

11 V engo pronto. Retén firme lo que tienes, para que nadie tome tu corona.

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

12 A l vencedor le haré una columna en el templo de Mi Dios, y nunca más saldrá de allí. Escribiré sobre él el nombre de Mi Dios y el nombre de la ciudad de Mi Dios, la nueva Jerusalén, que desciende del cielo de Mi Dios, y Mi nombre nuevo.

He 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.

13 E l que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias.”’” Mensaje a la Iglesia de Laodicea

And 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:

15 “ Yo conozco tus obras, que ni eres frío ni caliente. ¡Ojalá fueras frío o caliente!

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

16 A sí, puesto que eres tibio, y no frío ni caliente, te vomitaré de Mi boca.

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

17 P orque dices: ‘Soy rico, me he enriquecido y de nada tengo necesidad.’ No sabes que eres un miserable y digno de lástima, y pobre, ciego y desnudo.

For 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.

18 T e aconsejo que de Mí compres oro refinado por fuego para que te hagas rico, y vestiduras blancas para que te vistas y no se manifieste la vergüenza de tu desnudez, y colirio para ungir tus ojos y que puedas ver.

Therefore 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.

19 Y o reprendo y disciplino a todos los que amo. Sé, pues, celoso y arrepiéntete.

Those 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.

20 Y o estoy a la puerta y llamo; si alguien oye Mi voz y abre la puerta, entraré a él, y cenaré con él y él conmigo.

Behold, 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.

21 A l vencedor, le concederé sentarse conmigo en Mi trono, como yo también vencí y me senté con Mi Padre en Su trono.
