(King James Version)
Revelation:
Chapter 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 La-od-i-ce-ans 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
eye-salve, 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.
