Message to Sardis

1

"To the angel of the church in  aSardis write:

He who has  bthe seven Spirits of God and  cthe seven stars, says this: ` dI know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive,  1but you are  edead.

2

`Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God.

3

`So  aremember  1what you have received and heard; and keep it, and  arepent. Therefore if you do not wake up,  aI will come  blike a thief, and you will not know at  cwhat hour I will come to you.

4

`But you have a few  1 apeople in  bSardis who have not  csoiled their garments; and they will walk with Me  din white, for they are worthy.

5

aHe who overcomes will thus be clothed in  bwhite garments; and I will not  cerase his name from the book of life, and  dI will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

6

aHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'

Message to Philadelphia

"And to the angel of the church in  aPhiladelphia write:

 bHe who is holy,  cwho is true, who has  dthe key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this:

8

aI know your  1deeds. Behold, I have put before you  ban open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and  chave not denied My name.

9

`Behold, I  1will cause those of  athe synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie--I will make them  bcome and bow down  2at your feet, and make them know that  cI have loved you.

10

`Because you have  akept the word of  bMy  1perseverance,  cI also will keep you from the hour of  2 dtesting, that hour which is about to come upon the whole  3 eworld, to  4test  fthose who dwell on the earth.

11

aI am coming quickly;  bhold fast what you have, so that no one will take your  ccrown.

12

aHe who overcomes, I will make him a  bpillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the  cname of My God, and  dthe name of the city of My God,  ethe new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My  fnew name.

13

aHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'

Message to Laodicea

14

"To the angel of the church in  aLaodicea write:

 bThe Amen,  cthe faithful and true Witness,  dthe  1Beginning of the creation of God, says this:

15

aI know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot;  bI wish that you were cold or hot.

16

`So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will  1spit you out of My mouth.

17

`Because you say, " aI am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked,

18

I advise you to  abuy from Me  bgold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and  cwhite garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that  dthe shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.

19

aThose whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and  brepent.

20

`Behold, I stand  aat the door and  bknock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door,  cI will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.

21

aHe who overcomes, I will grant to him  bto sit down with Me on My throne, as  cI also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

22

aHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.' "
