3:1-6:
"Write this to the angel of the church in Sardis: "The One who has the
seven spirits and the seven stars is saying these things [to you]. I know the
things you do. People say that you are alive. But really you are dead. 2Wake up! Make yourselves stronger while you still have something left. Make
yourselves stronger before it dies completely. I find that the things you do are
not good enough for my God. 3So don't forget what you have received and heard. Obey it. Change your
hearts and lives! You must wake up, or I will come to you [and surprise you]
like a thief. You will not know when I will come. 4But you have a few people [in your group] there in Sardis who have kept
themselves clean. Those people will walk with me. They will wear white clothes,
because they are worthy. 5Every person that wins the victory will be dressed in white clothes like
these people. I will not take away that person's name from the book of life. I
will say that he belongs to me. I will say this before my Father and before his
angels.
6Every person that hears these things should listen to what the Spirit says
to the churches. (ERV)
And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These things saith he that
hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou
hast a name that thou livest, and thou art dead.
2Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to
die: for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God. 3Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep (it), and
repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou
shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 4But thou hast a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments: and
they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy. 5He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no
wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before
my Father, and before his angels. 6He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. (ASV)
And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy
works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. 2Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die:
for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and
repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and
thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 4Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments;
and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not
blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my
Father, and before his angels.
6He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (KJV) |
