3:1 And to the messenger of the church in Sardis write: These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have a name that you are living, and yet you are dead.
3:2 Become watchful and establish the things which remain, which were about to die; for I have found none of your works completed before My God.
你要儆醒,坚固那剩下将要衰微的;因我没有见到你的行为,在我神面前有一样是完成的。
3:3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and keep it and repent. If therefore you will not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall by no means know at what hour I will come upon you.
3:4 But you have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments, and they will walk with Me in white because they are worthy.
然而在撒狄,你还有几名是未曾玷污自己衣服的,他们要穿白衣与我同行,因为他们是配得过的。
3:5 He who overcomes will be clothed thus, in white garments, and I shall by no means erase his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
3:6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
那灵向众召会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听。
3:7 And to the messenger of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says the Holy One, the true One, the One who has the key of David, the One who opens and no one will shut, and shuts and no one opens:
3:8 I know your works; behold, I have put before you an opened door which no one can shut, because you have a little power and have kept My word and have not denied My name.
3:9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, those who call themselves Jews and are not, but lie -- behold, I will cause them to come and fall prostrate before your feet and to know that I have loved you.
3:10 Because you have kept the word of My endurance, I also will keep you out of the hour of trial, which is about to come on the whole inhabited earth, to try them who dwell on the earth.
你既遵守我忍耐的话,我也必保守你免去那将要临到普天下,试炼一切住在地上之人试炼的时候。
3:11 I come quickly; hold fast what you have that no one take your crown.
我必快来,你要持守你所有的,免得有人夺去你的冠冕。
3:12 He who overcomes, him I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall by no means go out anymore, and I will write upon him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which descends out of heaven from My God, and My new name.
3:13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
那灵向众召会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听。
3:14 And to the messenger of the church in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the beginning of the creation of God:
你要写信给在老底嘉的召会的使者,说,那阿们,那忠信真实的见证人,那神创造之物的元始,这样说,
3:15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot.
我知道你的行为,你也不冷也不热;我巴不得你或冷或热。
3:16 So, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spew you out of My mouth.
你既如温水,也不热也不冷,我就要从我口中把你吐出去。
3:17 Because you say, I am wealthy and have become rich and have need of nothing, and do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked,
因为你说,我是富足,已经发了财,一样都不缺;却不知道你是那困苦、可怜、贫穷、瞎眼、赤身的。
3:18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire that you may be rich, and white garments that you may be clothed and that the shame of your nakedness may not be manifested, and eyesalve to anoint your eyes that you may see.
