The Third Chapter

Abstract

[1] And write unto the angel of the congregation of Sardis: [2] This saith he that hath the seven spirits of God [3] and the seven stars: [4] ‘I know thy works. [5] Thou hast a name that thou livest and thou art dead. [6] Wake and strength the things which remain [7] that are ready to die, [8] for I have not found thy works perfect before God. [9] Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, [10] and hold fast and repent. [11] If thou shalt not watch, [12] I will come on thee as a thief, [13] and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. [14] Thou hast a few names in Sardis [15] which have not defiled their garments, [16] and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. [17] He that overcometh shall be clothed in white array, [18] and I will not put out his name out of the book of life, [19] and I will confess his name before my father and before his angels. [20] Let him that hath ears hear what the Spirit saith unto the congregations’.
