(“) - To the angel of the church in Sardis write : These (are) the words of the (One who) holds the seven Spirits - of God and the seven stars. I know your - deeds ; - you have (a) reputation for being alive , yet you are dead.
vvv Wake up and strengthen what remains , which was about to die ; for I have found your - deeds vvv incomplete in the sight of My - God.
Remember , then , what you have received and heard. - Keep (it) and repent. - If vvv you do not wake up , I will come like a thief , and vvv vvv you will not know the hour when I will come upon you.
But you do have a few people in Sardis who vvv have not soiled their - garments , and because they are worthy , they will walk with Me in white.
Like (them) , he who overcomes will be dressed in white -. And vvv vvv I will never blot out his - name from the Book - of Life , (but) I will confess his - name before My - Father and - His - angels.
He who has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
- To (the) angel of the church in Philadelphia write : These (are) the words of the (One who is) holy (and) true , who holds the key of David. What He opens - no one can shut , and what He shuts - no one can open.
I know your - deeds. See , I have placed before you an open door , which no one can shut -. For you have only a little strength , yet you have kept My - word and vvv have not denied My - name.
Look at (those who belong) to the synagogue - of Satan , who claim - to be Jews (but) are - liars instead. - vvv I will make them - come and bow down at your - feet , and they will know that I love you.
Because you have kept - - My command to persevere , vvv I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world , to test those who dwell on the earth.
I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have , so that no one will take your - crown.
The (one who) overcomes I will make - a pillar in the temple of My God , and vvv vvv vvv he will never again leave (it) .... - Upon him I will write the name of My God , and the name of the city of My God (the new Jerusalem that comes down out of - heaven from My - God) , and My - new - name.
He who has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
- To the angel of the church in Laodicea write : These (are) the words of the Amen , the - faithful and true Witness , the Originator - of God’s - creation.
I know your - deeds ; - you are neither cold nor hot. (How) I wish you were (one) or (the other) !
So because you are Luke -warm — - neither hot nor cold — I am about to vomit you out of My - mouth !
- You say , - ‘ I am rich ; - I have grown wealthy and vvv need nothing. ’ (But) vvv you do not realize that you are - wretched , - pitiful , - poor , - blind , and naked.
I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich , - white garments so that you may be clothed and - your shameful - nakedness vvv not exposed , and salve to anoint your - eyes so that you may see.
Those I vvv love , I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent.
Behold , I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My - voice and opens the door , - I will come in - - and dine with him , and he with Me.
To (the one) who overcomes , I will grant (the right) to sit with Me on My - throne , just as I overcame and sat down with My - Father on His - throne.
He who has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. ”
