| 3 1 | 'To the angel of the church at Sardis write: '"These are the words of the One who holds the seven spirits of God, the seven stars: I know all your ways; that though you have a name for being alive, you are dead. | The Message to Sardis Re.3.1-6 | Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Σάρδεσιν ἐκκλησίας γράψον· Τάδε λέγει ὁ ἐχων τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας· |
| 2 | Wake up, and put some strength into what is left, which must otherwise die! For I have not found any work of yours completed in the eyes of my God. | γίνου γρηγορῶν, καὶ στήρισον τὰ λοιπὰ ἂ ἐμελλον ἀποθανεῖν, οὐ γὰρ εὑρηκά σου τὰ ἐργα πεπληρωμένα ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ μου· | |
| 3 | So remember the teaching you received; observe it, and repent. If you do not wake up, I shall come upon you like a thief, and you will not know the moment of my coming. | μνημόνευε οὖν πῶς εἰληφας καὶ ἠκουσας, καὶ τήρει, καὶ μετανόησον. ἐὰν οὖν μὴ γρηγορήσῃς, ἡξω ὡς κλέπτης, καὶ οὐ μὴ γνῷς ποίαν ὡραν ἡξω ἐπὶ σέ. | |
| 4 | Yet you have a few persons in Sardis who have not polluted their clothing. They shall walk with me in white, for so they deserve. | ἀλλὰ ἐχεις ὀλίγα ὀνόματα ἐν Σάρδεσιν ἂ οὐκ ἐμόλυναν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, καὶ περιπατήσουσιν μετ' ἐμοῦ ἐν λευκοῖς, ὅτι ἀξιοί εἰσιν. | |
| 5 | He who is victorious shall thus be robed all in white; his name I will never strike off the roll of the living, for in the presence of my Father and his angels I will acknowledge him as mine. | ὁ νικῶν οὑτως περιβαλεῖται ἐν ἱματίοις λευκοῖς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξαλείψω τὸ ὀνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς βίβλου τῆς ζωῆς, καὶ ὁμολογήσω τὸ ὀνομα αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἐνω πιον τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ. | |
| 6 | Hear, you who have ears to hear, what the Spirit says to the churches!" | ὁ ἐχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ Πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. | |
