Revelation 3:2

The Letter To The Church In Sardis

¹ "To the angel of the church in Sardis write: " 'He who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars speaks thus: I know what you are doing; you are supposed to be alive, but you are dead. ²  Wake up, and strengthen what is left, although it is already on the point of death, for I have found nothing you have done complete in the sight of my God. ³ So remember what you received and heard, and obey it, and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I am coming upon you.
