Chap. III.
He is commaunded to vvrite to the Churches of Sardis, Philadelphia, and
Laodicia: recalling them that erre to penance by threatening, but praising the
rest, and promising revvard to him that ouercommeth: 15. detesting also the cold
indifferent Christian. 20. He saith that God knocketh at the doore of mens hartes
by offering his grace, for to enter in to him that vvil open vnto him by consent of
free vvil.
1 And to the Angel of the Church of Sardis,
write, Thus saith he that hath the seu&ebar; Spirites
of God, and the seuen starres, I know
thy vvorkes, that thou hast the name that
thou liuest, and thou art dead.
2 Be vigilant,
and confirme the rest of the things
vvhich vvere to die. For I finde not thy
vvorkes ful before my God.
3 Haue in
minde therfore in vvhat maner thou hast receiued and heard:
-- --
and keepe, and doe penance. If therfore thou vvatch not, note I
vvil come to thee as a theefe, & thou shalt not knovv vvhat
houre I vvil come to thee.
4 But thou hast a fevv names in
Sardis, note vvhich haue not defiled their garments: and they
shal vvalke vvith me in vvhites, because they note are vvorthy.
5 09Q1519He that shal ouercome, shal thus be vested in vvhite garmentes,
and I vvil not put his name out of the booke of life,
and I vvil confesse his name before my father, and before his
Angels.
6 He that hath an eare, let him heare vvhat the Spirit
saieth to the Churches.
7 And to the Angel of the Church of Philadelphia
vvrite, Thus saith the Holy one and the True one, he that
hath the note key of Dauid: he that openeth, and no man shutteth:
shutteth, and no man openeth.
8 I know thy vvorkes.
Behold I haue giuen before thee a doore opened vvhich no
man can shut: because thou hast a litle povver, and hast kept
my vvord, and hast not denied my name.
9 Behold I vvil
giue of the synagogue of Satan, vvhich say they be Ievves,
and are not, but doe lie. Behold I vvil make them come and
09Q1520 adore before thy feete. and they shal knovv that I haue
loued thee.
10 because thou hast kept the vvord of my patience,
and I vvil keepe thee from the houre of tentation,
vvhich shal come vpon the vvhole vvorld to tempt the inhabitants
on the earth.
11 Behold I come quickely: hold that
vvhich thou hast,09Q1521 that no man take thy crovvne.
12 He
that shal ouercome, I vvil make him a piller in the temple of
my God: and he shal goe out no more: and I vvil vvrite
vpon him the name of my God, and the name of the citie of
my God, nevv Hierusalem vvhich descendeth out of heauen
from my God, and my nevv name.
13 He that hath an eare,
let him heare vvhat the Spirit saith to the Churches.
14 And to the Angel of the Church of Laodicia vvrite,
Thus saith note Amen, the faithful and true vvitnesse, note vvhich is
the beginning of the creature of God.
15 I knovv thy
vvorkes, that thou art neither colde, nor hote. I vvould thou
vvere colde, or hote.
16 But because thou art09Q1522 lukevvarme,
and neither cold nor hote, I vvil begin to vomite thee out
of my mouth.
17 Because thou saiest, That I am riche, and enriched,
and lacke nothing: and knovvest not that thou art a
miser, and miserable, and poore, and blinde, and naked.
18 I counsel thee to bye of me gold fire-tried, that thou maiest
-- --
be made riche: and maiest be clothed in vvhite garmentes,
that the confusion of thy nakednes appeare not: and vvith
eie-salue anoint thine eies, that thou maiest see.
19 I, note vvhom
I loue, do rebuke and chastise. Be zelous therfore and doe
penance.
20 Behold I stand at the doore and note knocke. if
any man shal heare my voice, and open the gate, I vvil enter
in to him, and vvil suppe vvith him, and he vvith me.
21 He
that shal ouercome, I vvil giue vnto him to sitte vvith me
in my throne: as I also haue ouercome, and haue sitten vvith
my father in his throne.
22 He that hath an eare, let him heare
vvhat the Spirit saith to the Churches.
