Revelation 3

1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
1 Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Σάρδεσιν ἐκκλησίας γράψον, ¶ Τάδε λέγει ὁ ἔχων τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀστέρας· Οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα, ὅτι ὄνομα ἔχεις ὅτι ζῇς, καὶ νεκρὸς εἶ.
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are
ℵA ⟨were⟩
 ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God
ℵA ⟨my God⟩
.
2 Γίνου γρηγορῶν, καὶ στήρισον τὰ λοιπὰ ἃ ἔμελλες ἀποβάλλειν·
WH ἔμελλον ἀποθανεῖν,
 οὐ γὰρ εὕρηκά σου τὰ
WH omit
 ἔργα πεπληρωμένα ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ μου.
3 Remember therefore
ℵ omit
 how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch
ℵ ⟨repent⟩
, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
3 Μνημόνευε οὖν πῶς εἴληφας καὶ ἤκουσας, καὶ τήρει, καὶ μετανόησον. Ἐὰν οὖν μὴ γρηγορήσῃς, ἥξω ἐπί σε
WH omit
 ὡς κλέπτης, καὶ οὐ μὴ γνῷς ποίαν ὥραν ἥξω ἐπί σε.
4 Thou
ℵA ⟨But thou⟩
 hast a few names even
ℵA omit
 in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
4 Ἀλλ’
WH ἀλλὰ ἔχεις
 ὀλίγα ἔχεις
WH omit
 ὀνόματα ἐν Σάρδεσιν, ἃ οὐκ ἐμόλυναν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν· καὶ περιπατήσουσιν μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐν λευκοῖς, ὅτι ἄξιοί εἰσιν.
5 He that overcometh, the same
ℵA ⟨thus⟩
 shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
5 Ὁ νικῶν, οὗτος
WH οὕτως
 περιβαλεῖται ἐν ἱματίοις λευκοῖς· καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξαλείψω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς βίβλου τῆς ζωῆς, καὶ ὁμολογήσω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
6 Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true
ℵA ⟨he that is true, he that is holy⟩
, he that hath the key of David, he
ℵ ⟨and⟩
 that openeth, and no man shutteth
ℵA ⟨shall shut⟩
; and shutteth, and no man openeth
ℵ ⟨shall open⟩
;
7 Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Φιλαδελφείᾳ
WH Φιλαδελφίᾳ
 ἐκκλησίας γράψον, ¶ Τάδε λέγει ὁ ἅγιος, ὁ ἀληθινός, ὁ ἔχων τὴν κλεῖν τοῦ Δαυίδ
WH Δαυείδ
, ὁ ἀνοίγων καὶ οὐδεὶς κλείσει αὐτήν, εἰ μὴ ὁ ἀνοίγων·
WH καὶ κλείων
 καὶ οὐδεὶς ἀνοίξει.
WH ἀνοίγει,
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it
ℵA ⟨which no man can shut⟩
: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
8 Οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα· ἰδού, δέδωκα ἐνώπιόν σου θύραν ἀνεῳγμένην
WH ἠνεῳγμένην
, ἣν οὐδεὶς δύναται κλεῖσαι αὐτήν, ὅτι μικρὰν ἔχεις δύναμιν, καὶ ἐτήρησάς μου τὸν λόγον, καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσω τὸ ὄνομά μου.
9 Behold, I will make
ℵ ⟨have made⟩
 them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to
ℵ ⟨thou shalt⟩
 know that I have loved thee.
9 Ἰδού, δίδωμι
WH διδῶ
 ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς τοῦ Σατανᾶ, τῶν λεγόντων ἑαυτοὺς Ἰουδαίους εἶναι, καὶ οὐκ εἰσίν, ἀλλὰ ψεύδονται· ἰδού, ποιήσω αὐτοὺς ἵνα ἥξωσιν
WH ἥξουσιν
 καὶ προσκυνήσωσιν
WH προσκυνήσουσιν
 ἐνώπιον τῶν ποδῶν σου, καὶ γνῶσιν ὅτι [+]
WH ἐγὼ
 ἠγάπησά σε.
10 Because
A ⟨And⟩
 thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep
ℵ ⟨will keep⟩
 thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
10 Ὅτι ἐτήρησας τὸν λόγον τῆς ὑπομονῆς μου, κἀγώ σε τηρήσω ἐκ τῆς ὥρας τοῦ πειρασμοῦ, τῆς μελλούσης ἔρχεσθαι ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκουμένης ὅλης, πειράσαι τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
11 Behold,
ℵA omit
 I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
11 Ἔρχομαι ταχύ· κράτει ὃ ἔχεις, ἵνα μηδεὶς λάβῃ τὸν στέφανόν σου.
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in
ℵ ⟨to⟩
 the temple of my God, and he shall go no more
ℵ ⟨not go⟩
 out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
12 Ὁ νικῶν, ποιήσω αὐτὸν στύλον ἐν τῷ ναῷ τοῦ θεοῦ μου, καὶ ἔξω οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃ ἔτι, καὶ γράψω ἐπ’ αὐτὸν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ μου, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως τοῦ θεοῦ μου, τῆς καινῆς Ἱερουσαλήμ, ἣ καταβαίνει
WH καταβαίνουσα
 ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ μου, καὶ τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ καινόν.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
13 Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans
ℵA ⟨in Laodicea⟩
 write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation
ℵ ⟨and the faithful and true witness, and the beginning of the church⟩
 of God;
14 Καὶ τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῆς ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ
WH Λαοδικίᾳ
 ἐκκλησίας γράψον, ¶ Τάδε λέγει ὁ Ἀμήν, ὁ μάρτυς ὁ πιστὸς καὶ [+]
WH [ὁ]
 ἀληθινός, ἡ ἀρχὴ τῆς κτίσεως τοῦ θεοῦ·
15 I know thy works, that thou art
ℵ ⟨art⟩
 neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot
A omit
.
15 Οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα, ὅτι οὔτε ψυχρὸς εἶ οὔτε ζεστός· ὄφελον ψυχρὸς ἦς ἢ ζεστός.
16 So then because thou art
ℵ ⟨Because thou art thus⟩
 lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot
ℵ ⟨art neither hot nor cold⟩
, I will spue thee out of my
ℵ ⟨refrain thy⟩
 mouth.
16 Οὕτως ὅτι χλιαρὸς εἶ, καὶ οὐ
WH οὔτε
 ζεστὸς οὔτε ψυχρός, μέλλω σε ἐμέσαι ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
17 Ὅτι λέγεις, [+]
WH ὅτι
 Πλούσιός εἰμι, καὶ πεπλούτηκα, καὶ οὐδενὸς
WH οὐδὲν
 χρείαν ἔχω, καὶ οὐκ οἶδας ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ταλαίπωρος καὶ ὁ ἐλεεινὸς
WH ἐλεινὸς
 καὶ πτωχὸς καὶ τυφλὸς καὶ γυμνός·
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
18 συμβουλεύω σοι ἀγοράσαι χρυσίον
WH omit
 παρ’ ἐμοῦ [+]
WH χρυσίον
 πεπυρωμένον ἐκ πυρός, ἵνα πλουτήσῃς, καὶ ἱμάτια λευκά, ἵνα περιβάλῃ, καὶ μὴ φανερωθῇ ἡ αἰσχύνη τῆς γυμνότητός σου· καὶ κολλύριον ἵνα ἐγχρίσῃ
WH κολλούριον ἐγχρῖσαι
 τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου, ἵνα βλέπῃς.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
19 Ἐγὼ ὅσους ἐὰν φιλῶ, ἐλέγχω καὶ παιδεύω· ζήλωσον
WH ζήλευε
 οὖν καὶ μετανόησον.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will
ℵ ⟨I will both open the door and⟩
 come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
20 Ἰδού, ἕστηκα ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν καὶ κρούω· ἐάν τις ἀκούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς μου, καὶ ἀνοίξῃ τὴν θύραν, καὶ
WH omit
 εἰσελεύσομαι πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ δειπνήσω μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸς μετ’ ἐμοῦ.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
21 Ὁ νικῶν, δώσω αὐτῷ καθίσαι μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐν τῷ θρόνῳ μου, ὡς κἀγὼ ἐνίκησα, καὶ ἐκάθισα μετὰ τοῦ πατρός μου ἐν τῷ θρόνῳ αὐτοῦ.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
22 Ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις.
