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.
02 Be watchful, and
strengthen the things which remain, that are
ready to die: for I have not found thy works
perfect before God.
03 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.
04 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.
05 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.
06 He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
07 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;
08 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.
09 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.
