1. And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things says he that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and are dead.
2. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect before God.
3. Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you will not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.
4. You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
