4But you haveG2192 a fewG3641 12peopleG3686 in 3SardisG4554 whoG3739 have not 4soiledG3435 their garmentsG2440; and they will walkG4043 with Me 5in whiteG3022, for they are worthyG514. 56He who overcomesG3528 will thusG3779 be clothedG4016 in 7whiteG3022 garmentsG2440; and I will not 8eraseG1813 his nameG3686 from the bookG976 of lifeG2222, and 9I will confessG3670 his nameG3686 beforeG1799 My FatherG3962 and beforeG1799 His angelsG32. 610He who hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191 whatG5101 the SpiritG4151 saysG3004 to the churchesG1577.’
7“And to the angelG32 of the churchG1577 in 11PhiladelphiaG5359 writeG1125:
12He who is holyG40, 13who is trueG228, who hasG2192 14the keyG2807 of DavidG1160, who opensG455 and noG3762 oneG3762 will shutG2808, and who shutsG2808 and noG3762 oneG3762 opensG455, saysG3004 thisG3592:
8‘15I knowG3609 your 16deedsG2041. BeholdG2400, I have putG1325 beforeG1799 you 17an openG455 doorG2374 whichG3739 noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 shutG2808, becauseG3754 you haveG2192 a littleG3398 powerG1411, and have keptG5083 My wordG3056, and 18have not deniedG720 My nameG3686. 9BeholdG2400, I 19will causeG1325 those of 20the synagogueG4864 of SatanG4567, who sayG3004 that they are JewsG2453 and are not, but lieG5574--I will makeG4160 them 21comeG2240 and bowG4352 downG4352 22at your feetG4228, and make them knowG1097 that 23I have lovedG25 you.
