Revelations 3
1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things
saith he that hath 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 which remain, that
are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before
God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and
hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will
come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will
come upon thee. 4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have
not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white:
for they are worthy. 5 He that overcometh, the same shall be
clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of
the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and
before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write;
These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath
the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and
shutteth, and no man openeth; 8 I know thy 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 word, and hast not denied my
name. 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which
say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make
them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have
loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I
also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come
upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man
take thy crown. 12 Him 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,
which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my
God: and I will write upon him my new name. 13 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans F1 write;
These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the
beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou
art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then
because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue
thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and
increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not
that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and
naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that
thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be
clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and
anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many
as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with
him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit
with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with
my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Be like the Philadelphian church. But still a few in Sardis who
repented. Also for those still in Laodicean church, there is still
chance. Open the door to Him right now.
