3:1And to the angel of the church of Sardis, write: These things says he, that has the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have the name of being alive: and you are dead.

2Be watchful and strengthen the things that remain, which are ready to die. For I find not your works full before my God.

3Have in mind therefore in what manner you have received and heard: and observe, and do penance. If then you shall not watch, I will come to you as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come to you.

4But you have a few names in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.

5The one who will overcome, shall thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

6The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

14And to the angel of the church of Laodicea, write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, who is the beginning of the creation of God:

15I know your works, that you are neither cold, nor hot. I would you were cold, or hot.

16But because you are lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth.

17Because you sayest: I am rich, and made wealthy, and have need of nothing: and know not, that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

18I guidance you to buy of me gold fire tried, that you may be made rich; and may be clothed in white garments, and that the shame of your nakedness may not appear; and anoint your eyes with eyesalve, that you may see.

19Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance.

20Look, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

15:2He that walks without blemish, and works righteousness:

3He that speaketh truth in his heart, who has not used deceit in his tongue: Nor has done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a shame against his neighbours.

4In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not;

5the one who has not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: The one who does these things shall not be moved forever.

19:1And entering in, he walked through Jericho.

2And look, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the tax collectors, and he was rich.

3And he sought to see Jesus who he was, and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.

4And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him; for he was to pass that way.

5And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him, and said to him: Zacheus, hurry and come down; for this day I must abide in your house.

6And he made haste and came down; and received him with joy.

7And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner.

8But Zacheus standing, said to the Lord: Look, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold.

9Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

10For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
