1. To the angel of Messiah’s community in Sardis write: “Thus says the One having the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know your deeds—you have a reputation for being alive, but you are dead.
2. Wake up, and strengthen what remains that was about to die. For I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of My God.
3. So remember what you have received and heard—keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.
4. “But still, you have a few people in Sardis who have not stained their clothes. They will walk with Me in white, because they are worthy.
5. The one who overcomes thus will be dressed in white clothes; I will never blot his name out of the Book of Life, and will confess his name before My Father and His angels.
