Revelation 3:4-9
4But you have a few 12people in 3Sardis who have not 4soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me 5in white, for they are worthy. 56The one who overcomes will be clothed the same way, in 7white garments; and I will not 8erase his name from the book of life, and 9I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. 610The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
7“And to the angel of the church in 11Philadelphia write:
12He who is holy, 13who is true, who has 14the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this:
8‘15I know your 16deeds. Behold, I have put before you 17an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have followed My word, and 18have not denied My name. 9Behold, I 19will make those of 20the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie--I will make them 21come and bow down before your feet, and make them know that 22I have loved you.
