And to the angel of the church that is 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 art dead.
Be watchful, and strengthen the things that remain which were about to die: for I have not found thy works complete before my God.
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard; and keep it, and repent. If therefore thou watch not, I will come [upon thee] as a thief, and thou shalt in no wise know what hour I will come upon thee.
But thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
He that overcometh, he shall be clothed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot out his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
And to the angel of the church that is 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 one shall shut, and that shutteth and no one shall open:
I know thy works. Behold, I have set before thee an open door which no one can shut: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan those that say they are Jews and are not but lie: behold, I will make them to come and do homage before thy feet, and know that I have loved thee.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial that is about to come on all the habitable world, to try those that dwell on the earth.
I am coming quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown.
He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall never go out more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, that cometh down out of the heaven from my God, and my new name.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
And to the angel of the church that is in Laodicea write, These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.
So, because thou art lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spue thee out of my mouth.
Because thou sayest, I am rich and am become rich and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched and the pitiable and poor and blind and naked;
I counsel thee to buy of me gold purified by fire that thou mayest wax rich, and white garments that thou mayest be clothed and the shame of thy nakedness may not be manifested; and eye-salve to anoint thine eyes that thou mayest see.
I, as many as I love, rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if Anyone hear my voice, and open the door, I will [both] come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
He that overcometh, I will give him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father in his throne.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
