“
To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are
the
words
of
the
One
who
holds
the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars .
I know your
deeds;
you
have
a reputation
for
being
alive
, yet
you
are
dead.
And
to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These things
saith
he
that
hath
the seven Spirits of God ,
and the seven stars :
I know thy
works,
that
thou
hast
a name
that
thou
livest
, and
thou
art
dead.
Wake
up
and strengthen
what
remains
, which was
about
to die ;
for I have found your
deeds
incomplete
in
the
sight
of My God.
Be
thou
watchful,
and establish
the
things
that
remain
, which were
ready
to die :
for I have found no
works
of thine
perfected
before
my God.
Remember ,
then,
what
you
have
received and heard.
Keep it and repent. If you
do
not wake
up
, I will come like
a thief, and you
will
not know the
hour when
I will come upon you
.
Remember therefore
how
thou
hast
received and didst
hear;
and
keep `
it ',
and repent. If therefore
thou
shalt
not watch
, I will come as
a thief, and thou
shalt
not know what
hour I will come upon thee
.
But you
do
have
a few people
in Sardis who
have
not soiled
their garments ,
and because
they are
worthy,
they
will
walk with Me in white.
But thou
hast
a few names
in Sardis that
did
not defile
their garments :
and they shall
walk with me in white ;
for
they
are
worthy
.
Like
them,
he who
overcomes
will
be dressed
in white .
And I will never
blot out
his name from
the Book of Life, but
I will confess his name before My Father and His angels.
He that
overcometh
shall
thus
be arrayed
in white garments;
and I will in
no
wise
blot his name out
of
the book of life, and
I will confess his name before my Father ,
and before
his angels.
He who
has
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says
to the churches.
He that
hath
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
to the churches.
To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are
the
words
of
the
One
who
is holy and
true, who
holds
the key of David .
What
He opens
no
one
can
shut, and what
He
shuts
no
one
can
open.
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
none
shall
shut, and that
shutteth
and
none
openeth:
I know your
deeds.
See
, I have placed
before you
an
open
door, which no
one
can shut .
For
you
have
only
a little strength
, yet
you
have
kept
My word and have
not denied
My name.
I know thy
works
(behold
, I have set
before thee
a
door opened
, which none
can shut ),
that
thou
hast
a little power
, and
didst
keep
my word ,
and didst
not deny
my name.
Look
at
those
who
belong
to
the synagogue of Satan, who
claim
to
be
Jews but
are liars
instead.
I will make them come and bow
down
at
your
feet, and they
will
know that I love
you
.
Behold,
I
give
of
the synagogue of Satan, of
them
that
say
they
are
Jews ,
and
they
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
.
Because you
have
kept
My command
to
persevere
, I will
also keep you
from the hour of testing
that is about
to come upon the whole world, to test
those
who
dwell on
the earth.
Because thou
didst
keep
the
word
of
my patience
, I also will
keep thee
from the hour of trial,
that `hour'
which
is to come upon the whole world, to try
them
that
dwell upon
the earth.
I am
coming
soon.
Hold fast to
what
you
have
, so
that no one will
take your
crown.
I come
quickly:
hold fast that
which
thou
hast
, that no one take thy
crown.
The
one
who
overcomes
I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will
never
again
leave
it.
Upon
him
I will write the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God (
the new Jerusalem that
comes
down out of heaven from My God )
, and My
new name.
He
that
overcometh,
I will make him
a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall
go
out
thence
no
more:
and
I will write upon
him
the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God ,
the new Jerusalem ,
which
cometh
down out of heaven from my God, and mine
own
new name.

I know your
deeds;
you
are
neither cold nor hot .
How
I wish
you
were
one
or the
other!
I know thy
works,
that
thou
art
neither cold nor hot :
I would
thou
wert
cold
or hot.
So because you
are
lukewarm —
neither hot nor cold —
I am
about
to
vomit
you
out of My mouth !
So because thou
art
lukewarm ,
and
neither hot nor cold ,
I will
spew
thee
out of my mouth .
You
say
, ‘
I am rich ;
I
have grown
wealthy
and need nothing .’
But
you
do
not realize
that you
are
wretched ,
pitiful,
poor ,
blind ,
and naked .
Because
thou
sayest
, I am rich ,
and
have gotten
riches,
and have
need of
nothing ;
and
knowest
not that thou
art
the
wretched one
and
miserable
and
poor and
blind and naked :
I counsel you
to buy from
Me gold refined by fire so
that you
may
become rich ,
white garments so
that you
may
be
clothed
and your
shameful
nakedness not exposed,
and salve
to anoint your
eyes so
that you
may
see.
I counsel thee
to buy of
me gold refined by fire ,
that thou
mayest
become rich ;
and
white garments ,
that thou
mayest
clothe
thyself,
and `that'
the
shame
of
thy
nakedness be
not made
manifest;
and eyesalve
to anoint thine
eyes ,
that thou
mayest
see.
Those
I love, I rebuke
and discipline.
Therefore
be earnest
and repent.

many
as
I love, I reprove
and chasten:
be zealous
therefore,
and repent.

the door, I will come in and dine
with him, and he with Me.

hear
my voice and open
the door, I will come in to

the
one
who
overcomes
, I will grant
the
right
to sit with Me on
My throne, just
as I overcame and sat down with My Father on
His throne.

that
overcometh
, I will give
to him
to
sit down
with me in
my throne, as I also
overcame ,
and sat down with my Father in
his throne.

has
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says
