1And write unto the angel of the congregation of Sardis: this sayth he that hath the spirit of God, and the vij. stars. I know thy works, thou hast a name that you livest, and thou are dead. 2Be awake 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 you shalt not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 4Thou hast a few names in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5He that overcometh shall be clothed in white array, and I will not put out his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my father, and before his angels. 6Let him that hath ears hear what the spirit sayth unto the congregations.

7And write unto the angel of Philadelphia: This sayth he that is holy and true, which hath the key of David: which openeth and no man shuteth, and shuteth and no man openeth.

8I know your works. Behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it, for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my sayings: and hast not denied my name. 9Behold. I make them of the congregation of Sathan, which call themselves Jewes and are not, but do lie. Behold. I will make them that they shall come and worship before thy feet: and shall know that I have loved thee. 10Because thou hast kept the words of my patience, I will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which will come upon all the world, to tempt them that dwell upon the earth. 11Behold I come shortly. Hold that which thou hast, that no man take away thy crown. 12Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out. And I will write upon him, the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, new Ierusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God and I will write upon him my new name. 13Let him that hath ears, hear what the spirit saith unto the congregations.

14And unto the angel of the congregation which is in Laodicia write: This saith (amen) the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creatures of God.

15I know thy works that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or hot. 16So then because thou art between both, and nether cold ner hot, I will spew thee out of my mought: 17because thou sayst thou art rich and increased with goods, and hast need of nothing, and knowest not how thou art wretched and miserable, poor, blind, and naked. 18I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayst be rich: and white raiment, that thou mayst be clothed, that thy filthy nakedness do not appear: and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayst see. 19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be fervent therefore and repent. 20Behold I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him and will sup with him, and he with me. 21To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my seat, even as I overcame and have sitten with my father, in his seat. 22Let him that hath ears, hear what the spirit saith unto the congregations.
