This is a trilingual scriptural text presenting Revelation 3:1–22 in three parallel columns: the Greek New Testament (GNT), the King James Version (KJV) in English with Strong's concordance numbers, and the Latin Vulgate. The passage contains three of the seven letters to the churches of Asia Minor, addressed to Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea, each delivered in the voice of the risen Christ. The letter to Sardis warns a church that has a reputation for being alive but is spiritually dead, calling it to wake, repent, and strengthen what remains before Christ comes unexpectedly "as a thief." The letter to Philadelphia commends a faithful but weak community, promising protection from coming tribulation and the reward of becoming a permanent pillar in God's temple. The letter to Laodicea delivers the sharpest rebuke — the famous "lukewarm" condemnation — against a self-satisfied church that is spiritually impoverished, blind, and naked, contrasted with an offer of genuine spiritual wealth and the intimate image of Christ standing at the door and knocking. The KJV column's Strong's numbers make this a reference edition aimed at students doing word-level Greek–English comparison, while the Vulgate column adds a third tradition for translation-history or liturgical study.
