7
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that
is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no
man openeth;
8
I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can
shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9
Behold,
I will make 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 know that I have loved thee.
10
Because
thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which
shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11
Behold, I come quickly:
hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12
Him that overcometh will I make a
pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more 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.
13
He that hath an ear, let him
hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
14
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the
faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15
I know thy works, that thou art
neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16
So then because thou art lukewarm, and
neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
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:
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.
19
As many
as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20
Behold, I stand at the door, and
knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him,
and he with me.
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.
22
He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches.
CHAPTER 4
After this I looked, and, behold, a door
was
opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard
was
as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things
which must be hereafter.
2
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in
heaven, and
one
sat on the throne.
3
And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine
stone: and
there was
a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4
And round
about the throne
were
four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting,
clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5
And out of the throne
proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and
there were
seven lamps of fire burning before
