1

And to 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 thou art dead.

2

Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God.

3

Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear and keep [it], and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

4

But thou hast a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white for they are worthy.

5

He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and 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 to the churches.
