¹ And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: These things saith he that has the seven Spirits of¹ God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

1. 3.1 Elohim

² Be watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, which are about to die, for I have not found thy works complete before my¹ God.

1. 3.2 Elohim

³ Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and keep [it] and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come [upon thee] as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I shall come upon thee.

⁴ But thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.

⁵ He that overcomes, he shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, and will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

⁶ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

⁷ And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: These things saith the holy, the true; he that has the key of David, he who opens and no one shall shut, and shuts and no one shall open:

⁸ I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an opened door, which no one can shut, because thou hast a little power, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

⁹ Behold, I make them of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews, and are not, but lie; behold, I will cause that they shall come and shall do homage before thy feet, and shall know that I have loved thee.

¹⁰ Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee out of the hour of trial, which is about to come upon the whole habitable world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

¹¹ I come quickly: hold fast what thou hast, that no one take thy crown.

¹² He that overcomes, him will I make a pillar in the temple of my¹ God, and he shall go no more at all out; and I will write upon him the name of my² God, and the name of the city of my³ God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven, from my⁴ God, and my new name.

¹³ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.

¹⁴ And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of¹ God:

1. 3.14 Elohim

¹⁵ I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot.

¹⁶ Thus because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spue thee out of my mouth.

¹⁷ Because thou sayest, I am rich, and am grown rich, and have need of nothing, and knowest not that thou art the wretched and the miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked;

¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me gold purified by fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white garments, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be made manifest; and eye-salve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

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

²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and am knocking; if any one hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him and sup with him, and he with me.

²¹ He that overcomes, to him will I give to sit with me in my throne; as I also have overcome, and have sat down with my Father in his throne.

²² He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
