Revelation 3:1-6

1“To the angel of the church in 1Sardis write:

He who has 2the seven Spirits of God and 3the seven stars, says this: ‘4I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, 5but you are 6dead. 2Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. 3So 7remember 8what you have received and heard; and keep it, and 9repent. Therefore if you do not wake up, 10I will come 11like a thief, and you will not know at 12what hour I will come to you. 4But you have a few 13 14people in 15Sardis who have not 16soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me 17in white, for they are worthy. 5 18He who overcomes will thus be clothed in 19white garments; and I will not 20erase his name from the book of life, and 21I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. 6 22He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
