1And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: These things says he who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and you are dead. 2Be watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God. 3Remember therefore how you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. If therefore you do not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you. 4But you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy. 5He who overcomes shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will by no means blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. 7And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: These things says he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and none shall shut, and who shuts and none opens: 8I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which none can shut), that you have a little power, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name. 9Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie; behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and know that I have loved you. 10Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of trial, that hour which is to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell upon the earth. 11I am coming quickly: hold fast that which you have, that no one may take your crown. 12He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out from there no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name. 13He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. 14And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God: 15I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I wish you were cold or hot. 16So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew you out of my mouth. 17Because you say, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and do not know that you are the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked: 18I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be made manifest; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. 19As many as I love, I reprove and discipline: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me. 21He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
