1 ¶ ‹And unto 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 art dead.›
2 ‹Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.›
3 ‹Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.›
4 ‹Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.›
5 ‹He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.›
6 ‹He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.›
