Revelation 3:2

The Letter To The Church In Sardis

¹ And to the angel of the church in Sardis say: These things says he who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: I have knowledge of your works, that you seem to be living but are dead. ² Be on the watch, and make strong the rest of the things which are near to death; because as judged by me your works have not come up to God's measure. ³ Keep in mind, then, the teaching which was given to you, and be ruled by it and have a change of heart. If then you do not keep watch, I will come like a thief, and you will have no knowledge of the hour when I will come on you.

In the Sight of God
