1. And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: These things saith he that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
2. Be watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, which are about to die, for I have not found thy works complete before my God.
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.
