Apocalisse 3
La Nuova Diodati
3 «E all'angelo, della chiesa in Sardi scrivi: queste cose dice colui che ha i sette Spiriti di Dio e le sette stelle. Io conosco le tue opere; tu hai la reputazione di vivere, ma sei morto.
2 Sii vigilante e rafferma il resto delle cose che stanno per morire, perché non ho trovato le tue opere compiute davanti al mio Dio.
3 Ricordati dunque quanto hai ricevuto e udito; serbalo e ravvediti. Se tu non vegli, io verrò su di te come un ladro, e non saprai a quale ora verrò su di te.
4 Tuttavia hai alcune persone in Sardi che non hanno contaminato le loro vesti; esse cammineranno con me in vesti bianche, perché ne sono degne.
5 Chi vince sarà dunque vestito di vesti bianche e io non cancellerò il suo nome dal libro della vita, ma confesserò il suo nome davanti al Padre mio e davanti ai suoi angeli.
6 Chi ha orecchi, ascolti ciò che lo Spirito dice alle chiese».
7 «E all'angelo della chiesa in Filadelfia scrivi: queste cose dice il Santo, il Verace, colui che ha la chiave di Davide, che apre e nessuno chiude, che chiude e nessuno apre.
8 Io conosco le tue opere; ecco, ti ho posto davanti una porta aperta, che nessuno può chiudere, perché, nonostante tu abbia poca forza, hai custodito la mia parola e non hai rinnegato il mio nome.
9 Ecco, io ti consegno alcuni della sinagoga di Satana, che si dicono Giudei e non lo sono, ma mentono; ecco, li farò venire a prostrarsi ai tuoi piedi e conosceranno che io ti ho amato.
10 Poiché hai custodito la parola della mia costanza, anch'io ti custodirò dall'ora della prova che verrà su tutto il mondo, per mettere alla prova coloro che abitano sulla terra.
11 Ecco, io vengo presto; tieni fermamente ciò che hai, affinché nessuno ti tolga la tua corona.
12 Chi vince io lo farò una colonna nel tempio del mio Dio, ed egli non uscirà mai piú fuori; e scriverò su di lui il nome del mio Dio e il nome della città del mio Dio, della nuova Gerusalemme che scende dal cielo da presso il mio Dio, e il mio nuovo nome.
13 Chi ha orecchi, ascolti ciò che lo Spirito dice alle chiese».
14 «E all'angelo della chiesa in Laodicea scrivi: queste cose dice l'Amen, il Testimone fedele e verace, il Principio della creazione di Dio.
15 lo conosco le tue opere, che tu non sei né freddo né caldo. Oh, fossi tu freddo o caldo!
16 Cosí, perché sei tiepido e non sei né freddo né caldo, io sto per vomitarti dalla mia bocca.
17 Poiché tu dici: Io sono ricco, mi sono arricchito e non ho bisogno di nulla e non sai invece di essere disgraziato, miserabile, povero, cieco e nudo.
18 Ti consiglio di comperare da me dell'oro affinato col fuoco per arricchirti, e delle vesti bianche per coprirti e non far apparire cosí la vergogna della tua nudità, e di ungerti gli occhi con del collirio, affinché tu veda.
19 lo riprendo e castigo tutti quelli che amo; abbi dunque zelo e ravvediti.
20 Ecco, io sto alla porta e busso, se qualcuno ode la mia voce ed apre la porta, io entrerò da lui, e cenerò con lui ed egli con me.
21 A chi vince concederò di sedere con me sul mio trono, come anch'io ho vinto e mi sono posto a sedere col Padre mio sul suo trono.
22 Chi ha orecchi, ascolti ciò che lo Spirito dice alle chiese».

To the Church in Sardis
3 “To the angel[a] of the church in Sardis(A) write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits[b](B) of God and the seven stars.(C) I know your deeds;(D) you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.(E) 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent.(F) But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief,(G) and you will not know at what time(H) I will come to you.
4 Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes.(I) They will walk with me, dressed in white,(J) for they are worthy. 5 The one who is victorious(K) will, like them, be dressed in white.(L) I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life,(M) but will acknowledge that name before my Father(N) and his angels. 6 Whoever has ears, let them hear(O) what the Spirit says to the churches.
To the Church in Philadelphia
7 “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia(P) write:
These are the words of him who is holy(Q) and true,(R) who holds the key of David.(S) What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds.(T) See, I have placed before you an open door(U) that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.(V) 9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan,(W) who claim to be Jews though they are not,(X) but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet(Y) and acknowledge that I have loved you.(Z) 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you(AA) from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world(AB) to test(AC) the inhabitants of the earth.(AD)
11 I am coming soon.(AE) Hold on to what you have,(AF) so that no one will take your crown.(AG) 12 The one who is victorious(AH) I will make a pillar(AI) in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God(AJ) and the name of the city of my God,(AK) the new Jerusalem,(AL) which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. 13 Whoever has ears, let them hear(AM) what the Spirit says to the churches.
To the Church in Laodicea
14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea(AN) write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness,(AO) the ruler of God’s creation.(AP) 15 I know your deeds,(AQ) that you are neither cold nor hot.(AR) I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’(AS) But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.(AT) 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire,(AU) so you can become rich; and white clothes(AV) to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness;(AW) and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.(AX) So be earnest and repent.(AY) 20 Here I am! I stand at the door(AZ) and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,(BA) I will come in(BB) and eat with that person, and they with me.
21 To the one who is victorious,(BC) I will give the right to sit with me on my throne,(BD) just as I was victorious(BE) and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear(BF) what the Spirit says to the churches.”

The Dead Church
3 “And to the [a]angel of the church in Sardis write,
‘These things says He who (A)has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before [b]God. 3 (B)Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and (C)repent. (D)Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you (E)as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. 4 [c]You have (F)a few names [d]even in Sardis who have not (G)defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me (H)in white, for they are worthy. 5 He who overcomes (I)shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not (J)blot out his name from the (K)Book of Life; but (L)I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
6 (M)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
The Faithful Church
7 “And to the [e]angel of the church in Philadelphia write,
‘These things says (N)He who is holy, (O)He who is true, (P)“He who has the key of David, (Q)He who opens and no one shuts, and (R)shuts and no one opens”: 8 (S)“I know your works. See, I have set before you (T)an open door, [f]and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make (U)those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed (V)I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept [g]My command to persevere, (W)I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon (X)the whole world, to test those who dwell (Y)on the earth. 11 [h]Behold, (Z)I am coming quickly! (AA)Hold fast what you have, that no one may take (AB)your crown. 12 He who overcomes, I will make him (AC)a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall (AD)go out no more. (AE)I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the (AF)New Jerusalem, which (AG)comes down out of heaven from My God. (AH)And I will write on him My new name.
13 (AI)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
The Lukewarm Church
14 “And to the [i]angel of the church [j]of the Laodiceans write,
(AJ)‘These things says the Amen, (AK)the Faithful and True Witness, (AL)the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 (AM)“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither [k]cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, (AN)‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you (AO)to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and (AP)white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 (AQ)As many as I love, I rebuke and (AR)chasten.[l] Therefore be [m]zealous and repent. 20 Behold, (AS)I stand at the door and knock. (AT)If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, (AU)I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes (AV)I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 (AW)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ”
