Revelation
Rev.3
[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.
[7] And to the angel of the church 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 man shutteth; and
shutteth, and no man openeth;
[8] I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an
open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little
strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
[9] Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan,
which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will
make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I
have loved thee.
[10] Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I
also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come
upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
[11] Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou
hast, that no man take thy crown.
[12] Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the
temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write
upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God,
which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my
God: and I will write upon him my new name.
[13] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches.
[14] And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans
write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true
witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
[15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot:
I would thou wert cold or hot.
[16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold
nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
[17] Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with
goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art
wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
[18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire,
that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be
clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and
anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
[19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent.
[20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man
hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will
sup with him, and he with me.
[21] To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in
my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my
Father in his throne.
[22] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches.
