Revelation 3:2

The Letter To The Church In Sardis

¹ And to the agent of the congregation in Sardis write, These things says he who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou have a name that thou live, and thou are dead. ² Become thou watchful, and strengthen the remaining things that thou were going to throw away, for I have not found thy works made complete before my God. ³ Remember therefore how thou have received and heard, and be on guard, and repent. If therefore thou will not watch, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou will, no, not know what hour I will come upon thee.
