Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 3
1 και τω αγγελω τησ εν σαρδεσιν εκκλησιασ γραψον ταδε λεγει ο εχων τα επτα πνευματα του θεου και τουσ επτα αστερασ οιδα σου τα εργα οτι ονομα εχεισ οτι ζησ και νεκροσ ει
“And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: “He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars says these things: “I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
2 γινου γρηγορων και στηρισον τα λοιπα α εμελλεσ αποβαλλειν ου γαρ ευρηκα σου τα εργα πεπληρωμενα ενωπιον του θεου μου
Wake up and strengthen the things that remain, which you were about to throw away, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God.
3 μνημονευε ουν πωσ ειληφασ και ηκουσασ και τηρει και μετανοησον εαν ουν μη γρηγορησησ ηξω επι σε ωσ κλεπτησ και ου μη γνωσ ποιαν ωραν ηξω επι σε
Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.
4 αλλ ολιγα εχεισ ονοματα εν σαρδεσιν α ουκ εμολυναν τα ιματια αυτων και περιπατησουσιν μετ εμου εν λευκοισ οτι αξιοι εισιν
Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that didn’t defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
5 ο νικων ουτοσ περιβαλειται εν ιματιοισ λευκοισ και ου μη εξαλειψω το ονομα αυτου εκ τησ βιβλου τησ ζωησ και ομολογησω το ονομα αυτου ενωπιον του πατροσ μου και ενωπιον των αγγελων αυτου
He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 ο εχων ουσ ακουσατω τι το πνευμα λεγει ταισ εκκλησιαισ
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
7 και τω αγγελω τησ εν φιλαδελφεια εκκλησιασ γραψον ταδε λεγει ο αγιοσ ο αληθινοσ ο εχων την κλειν του δαυιδ ο ανοιγων και ουδεισ κλεισει αυτην ει μη ο ανοιγων και ουδεισ ανοιξει
“To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:
8 οιδα σου τα εργα ιδου δεδωκα ενωπιον σου θυραν ανεωγμενην ην ουδεισ δυναται κλεισαι αυτην οτι μικραν εχεισ δυναμιν και ετηρησασ μου τον λογον και ουκ ηρνησω το ονομα μου
“I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn’t deny my name.
9 ιδου διδωμι εκ τησ συναγωγησ του σατανα των λεγοντων εαυτουσ ιουδαιουσ ειναι και ουκ εισιν αλλα ψευδονται ιδου ποιησω αυτουσ ινα ηξωσιν και προσκυνησωσιν ενωπιον των ποδων σου και γνωσιν οτι ηγαπησα σε
Behold, I make some of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie—behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
10 οτι ετηρησασ τον λογον τησ υπομονησ μου καγω σε τηρησω εκ τησ ωρασ του πειρασμου τησ μελλουσησ ερχεσθαι επι τησ οικουμενησ ολησ πειρασαι τουσ κατοικουντασ επι τησ γησ
Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 ερχομαι ταχυ κρατει ο εχεισ ινα μηδεισ λαβη τον στεφανον σου
I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.
12 ο νικων ποιησω αυτον στυλον εν τω ναω του θεου μου και εξω ου μη εξελθη ετι και γραψω επ αυτον το ονομα του θεου μου και το ονομα τησ πολεωσ του θεου μου τησ καινησ ιερουσαλημ η καταβαινει εκ του ουρανου απο του θεου μου και το ονομα μου το καινον
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
13 ο εχων ουσ ακουσατω τι το πνευμα λεγει ταισ εκκλησιαισ
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
14 και τω αγγελω τησ εν λαοδικεια εκκλησιασ γραψον ταδε λεγει ο αμην ο μαρτυσ ο πιστοσ και αληθινοσ η αρχη τησ κτισεωσ του θεου
“To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: “The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of God’s creation, says these things:
15 οιδα σου τα εργα οτι ουτε ψυχροσ ει ουτε ζεστοσ οφελον ψυχροσ ησ η ζεστοσ
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16 ουτωσ οτι χλιαροσ ει και ου ζεστοσ ουτε ψυχροσ μελλω σε εμεσαι εκ του στοματοσ μου
So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
17 οτι λεγεισ πλουσιοσ ειμι και πεπλουτηκα και ουδενοσ χρειαν εχω και ουκ οιδασ οτι συ ει ο ταλαιπωροσ και ο ελεεινοσ και πτωχοσ και τυφλοσ και γυμνοσ
Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing,’ and don’t know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;
18 συμβουλευω σοι αγορασαι χρυσιον παρ εμου πεπυρωμενον εκ πυροσ ινα πλουτησησ και ιματια λευκα ινα περιβαλη και μη φανερωθη η αισχυνη τησ γυμνοτητοσ σου και κολλυριον ινα εγχριση τουσ οφθαλμουσ σου ινα βλεπησ
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.
19 εγω οσουσ εαν φιλω ελεγχω και παιδευω ζηλωσον ουν και μετανοησον
As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 ιδου εστηκα επι την θυραν και κρουω εαν τισ ακουση τησ φωνησ μου και ανοιξη την θυραν και εισελευσομαι προσ αυτον και δειπνησω μετ αυτου και αυτοσ μετ εμου
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me.
21 ο νικων δωσω αυτω καθισαι μετ εμου εν τω θρονω μου ωσ καγω ενικησα και εκαθισα μετα του πατροσ μου εν τω θρονω αυτου
He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 ο εχων ουσ ακουσατω τι το πνευμα λεγει ταισ εκκλησιαισ
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
