Revelation 3:1-6

[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  works,  that  thou hast  a name  that  thou livest,  and  dead.  [2] Be  watchful,  and  strengthen  the things which remain,  that  are  ready to die:  for  not  found  works  perfect  before  God.  [3] Remember  therefore  how  thou hast received  and  heard,  and  hold fast,  and  repent.  therefore  watch,  I will come  on  as  a thief,  and  know  what  hour  I will come  upon  [4] Thou hast  a few  names  even  in  Sardis  which  not  defiled  their  garments;  and  they shall walk  with  in  white:  for  worthy.  [5] He that overcometh,  shall be clothed  in  white  raiment;  and  blot out  his  name  out of  the book  of life,  but  his  name  before  Father,  and  before  his  angels.  [6] He that hath  an ear,  let him hear  what  the Spirit  saith  unto the churches.
