The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 3
{3:1} "And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write:
"He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these
things:
"I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but
you are dead. {3:2} Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which
you were about to throw away, for I have found no works of yours
perfected before my God. {3:3} Remember therefore how you have
received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you won't watch,
I will come as a thief, and you won't know what hour I will come upon
you. {3:4} Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not
defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are
worthy. {3:5} He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and
I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will
confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. {3:6} He who
has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
{3:7} "To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write:
"He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who
opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these
things:
{3:8} "I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open
door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept
my word, and didn't deny my name. {3:9} Behold, I give of the
synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not,
but lie. Behold, I will make them to come and worship before your
feet, and to know that I have loved you. {3:10} Because you kept my
command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing,
which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the
earth. {3:11} I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so
that no one takes your crown. {3:12} He who overcomes, I will make him
a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no
more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city
of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my
God, and my own new name. {3:13} He who has an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit says to the assemblies.
{3:14} "To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write:
"The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's
creation, says these things:
{3:15} "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish
you were cold or hot. {3:16} So, because you are lukewarm, and neither
hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth. {3:17} Because you
say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;'
and don't know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind,
and naked; {3:18} I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire,
that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe
yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed;
and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. {3:19} As many as
I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
{3:20} Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice
and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with
him, and he with me. {3:21} He who overcomes, I will give to him to
sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with
my Father on his throne. {3:22} He who has an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit says to the assemblies."
