Revelation 3:2

The Letter To The Church In Sardis

¹ "To the messenger of the church in Sardis, write: "The one who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars says this: ² "I know what you've been doing. You are known for being alive, but you are dead. Be alert, and strengthen the things that are left, which are about to die. I note that your actions are incomplete before my God. ³ So remember what you received and heard. Obey it, and repent. If you are not alert, I will come like a thief, and you won't know the time when I will come to you.
