1 “ Write this to the angel of the church in the city of Sardis: ‘The One Who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says this: I know what you are doing. I know people think you are alive, but you are dead.

Y ESCRIBE al ángel de la iglesia en SARDIS: El que tiene los siete Espíritus de Dios, y las siete estrellas, dice estas cosas: Yo conozco tus obras que tienes nombre que vives, y estás muerto.

2 W ake up! Make stronger what you have before it dies. I have not found your work complete in God’s 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 remember what you have received and heard. Keep it. Be sorry for your sins and turn from them. If you will not wake up, I will come as a robber. You will not know at what time I will come.

Acuérdate pues de lo que has recibido y has oído, y guárda lo, y arrepiéntete. Y si no velares, vendré á ti como ladrón, y no sabrás en qué hora vendré á ti.

4 B ut there are a few people in the church in the city of Sardis whose clothes are not dirty with sins. They will walk with Me wearing white clothes. They have done what they should.

Mas tienes unas pocas personas en Sardis que no han ensuciado sus vestiduras: y andarán conmigo en vestiduras blancas; porque son dignos.

5 E veryone who has power and wins will wear white clothes. I will not take his name from the book of life. I will speak of his name before My Father and His angels.

El que venciere, será 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 Y ou have ears! Then listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.’ Words to the Church in Philadelphia

El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice á las iglesias.

7 “ Write this to the angel of the church in the city of Philadelphia: ‘He Who is holy and true, Who holds the key of David, Who opens and no man can shut, Who shuts and no man can open, says this:

Y escribe al ángel de la iglesia en FILADELFIA: Estas cosas dice el Santo, el Verdadero, el que tiene la llave de David, el que abre y ninguno cierra, y cierra y ninguno abre:

8 I know what you are doing. See! You do not have much power, but you have obeyed My Word. You have not turned against Me. So I have given you an open door that no man can shut.

Yo conozco tus obras: he aquí, he dado una puerta abierta delante de ti, la cual ninguno puede cerrar; porque tienes un poco de potencia, y has guardado mi palabra, y no has negado mi nombre.

9 S ee! There are some who belong to Satan. They say they are Jews, but they are not. They are liars. See! I will make them come to you and get down at your feet. Then they will know that I love you.

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

10 I will keep you from the time of trouble. The time to test everyone is about to come to the whole world. I will do this because you have listened to Me and have waited long and have not given up.

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

11 I am coming very soon. Hold on to what you have so no one can take your crown.

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

12 I will make the one who has power and wins an important part that holds up the house of God. He will never leave it again. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God. It is the new Jerusalem. The new Jerusalem will come down from My God out of heaven. I will write My new name on him.

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, la nueva Jerusalem, la cual desciende del cielo de con mi Dios, y mi nombre nuevo.

13 Y ou have ears! Then listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.’ Words to the Church in Laodicea

El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice á las iglesias.

14 “ Write this to the angel of the church in the city of Laodicea: ‘The One Who says, Let it be so, the One Who is faithful, the One Who tells what is true, the One Who made everything in God’s world, says this:

Y escribe al ángel de la iglesia en LAODICEA: He aquí dice el Amén, el testigo fiel y verdadero, el principio de la creación de Dios:

15 I know what you are doing. You are not cold or hot. I wish you were one or the other.

Yo conozco tus obras, que ni eres frío, ni caliente. ­Ojalá fueses frío, ó caliente!

16 B ut because you are warm, and not hot or cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.

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

17 Y ou say that you are rich and that you need nothing, but you do not know that you are so troubled in mind and heart. You are poor and blind and without clothes.

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

18 Y ou should buy gold from Me that has been tested by fire that you may be rich. Buy white clothes to dress yourself so the shame of not wearing clothes will be taken away. Buy medicine to put on your eyes so you can 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 I speak strong words to those I love and I punish them. Have a strong desire to please the Lord. Be sorry for your sins and turn from them.

Yo reprendo y castigo á todos los que amo: sé pues celoso, y arrepiéntete.

20 S ee! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and we will eat together.

He aquí, yo estoy á la puerta y llamo: si alguno oyere mi voz y abriere la puerta, entraré á él, y cenaré con él, y él conmigo.

21 I will allow the one who has power and wins to sit with Me on My throne, as I also had power and won and sat down with 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 Y ou have ears! Then listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.’”

El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice á las iglesias.
