To the Church in Sardis

1“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him 3:1 See ch. 1:4, 16who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.

“‘I know your works. You have the reputation 3:1 1 Tim. 5:6of being alive, 3:1 See Luke 15:24but you are dead.

2Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works 3:2 Acts 14:26complete in the sight of my God.

33:3 [2 Tim. 1:13] Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, 3:3 ch. 2:5I will come 3:3 ch. 16:15; Matt. 24:43; 1 Thess. 5:2, 4; 2 Pet. 3:10like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.

4Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not 3:4 Jude 23soiled their garments, and they will walk with me 3:4 ch. 6:11; 7:9; [Eccles. 9:8] in white, for they are 3:4 [Luke 20:35]worthy.

53:5 See ch. 2:7The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never 3:5 See Ex. 32:32blot his name out of 3:5 ch. 13:8; 17:8; 20:12, 15; 21:27; Phil. 4:3the book of life. 3:5 Matt. 10:32; Luke 12:8I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

63:6 [See ch. 2:7above]He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

To the Church in Philadelphia

7“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of 3:7 ch. 6:10the holy one, 3:7 ver. 14; ch. 19:11; 1 John 5:20the true one, 3:7 Isa. 22:22; [Luke 1:32] who has the key of David, 3:7 Job 12:14; [Matt. 16:19]who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens.

8“‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you 3:8 Acts 14:27; 1 Cor. 16:9; 2 Cor. 2:12; Col. 4:3an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

9Behold, I will make those of 3:9 ch. 2:9the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, 3:9 [Isa. 45:14; 49:23; 60:14] I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that 3:9 Isa. 43:4I have loved you.

103:10 ch. 1:9; 2 Pet. 2:9Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try 3:10 ch. 6:10; 8:13; 11:10; 13:8, 14; 17:8those who dwell on the earth.

113:11 ch. 22:7, 12, 20I am coming soon. 3:11 ch. 2:25Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize 3:11 ch. 2:10your crown.

123:12 See ch. 2:7The one who conquers, I will make him 3:12 1 Kgs. 7:21; 2 Chr. 3:17; Jer. 1:18; Gal. 2:9; [Ps. 23:6; 27:4] a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him 3:12 ch. 14:1; 22:4the name of my God, and 3:12 ch. 21:2; Ezek. 48:35; [Gal. 4:26; Heb. 12:22] the name of the city of my God, 3:12 ch. 21:2; Ezek. 48:35; [Gal. 4:26; Heb. 12:22] the new Jerusalem, 3:12 ch. 21:10which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own 3:12 ch. 2:17new name.

133:13 [See ch. 2:7above]He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

To the Church in Laodicea

14“And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the 3:14 2 Cor. 1:20Amen, 3:14 ver. 7; ch. 1:5; 19:11; 22:6the faithful and true witness, 3:14 Col. 1:15, 18; [ch. 21:6; 22:13; Prov. 8:22]the beginning of God’s creation.

15“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. 3:15 [2 Pet. 2:21]Would that you were either cold or hot!

16So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.

173:17 Hos. 12:8; Zech. 11:5; 1 Cor. 4:8For you say, “I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing,” not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, 3:17 John 9:39-41; Eph. 1:18blind, and naked.

18I counsel you 3:18 Isa. 55:1; Matt. 13:44; 25:9; [Prov. 8:19] to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and 3:18 [ch. 19:8]; See ver. 4white garments so that you may clothe yourself and 3:18 ch. 16:15the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, 3:18 [See ver. 17above]so that you may see.

193:19 See Heb. 12:6Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.

20Behold, I stand at the door and 3:20 [Song 5:2] knock. 3:20 Luke 12:36If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, 3:20 John 14:23; [Luke 24:29, 30]I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

213:21 See ch. 2:7The one who conquers, 3:21 ch. 20:4; [ch. 2:26; John 12:26; 2 Tim. 2:12]; See Matt. 19:28I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as 3:21 ch. 5:5; 6:2; 17:14; John 16:33I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.

223:22 [See ch. 2:7above]He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
