Revelation 3

¹[“] And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These things says the One having the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, and yet you are dead.

²Be watching, and strengthen the things that remain, which are about to die; for I have not found your works full before My God.

³Therefore remember what you have received and heard—and keep [it] and repent. Therefore if you shall not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.

⁴But you have a few names in Sardis who did not soil their garments, and they will walk with Me in white, because they are worthy.

⁵The one overcoming thus will be clothed in white garments. And I will never blot out his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

⁶The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

⁷And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says the Holy One, the True One, having the key of David, the One opening and no one will shut, and shutting and no one opens.

⁸I know your works. Behold, I have set before you a door having been opened, which no one is able to shut it, because you have little power, and you kept My word and did not deny My name.

⁹Behold, I give [those] from the synagogue of Satan—those claiming themselves to be Jews, and are not, but they lie—behold, I will cause them that they will come and will bow down before your feet, and they shall know that I loved you.

¹⁰Because you kept the word of My endurance, I also will keep you out of the hour of the testing being about to come upon the whole world, to test those dwelling upon the earth.

¹¹I am coming quickly. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one may take your crown.

¹²The one overcoming, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall not go out anymore. And I will write upon him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.

¹³The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

¹⁴And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of God's creation.

¹⁵I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you would be cold or hot!

¹⁶So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to vomit you out of My mouth.

¹⁷For you say, ‘I am rich, and I have grown rich, and I have need of nothing.’ And you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.

¹⁸I counsel you to buy from Me gold having been refined by fire so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may be clothed and the shame of your nakedness might not be made manifest, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.

¹⁹As many as I may love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.

²⁰Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone should hear My voice and should open the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.

²¹The one overcoming, I will give to him to sit with Me in My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father in His throne.

²²The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
