And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, These things says he that has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars, I know your works, that you have a name to live, and are dead. Be watchful, confirm the rest who are about to die. For I have not found your works perfect before my God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and watch, and change your minds. If therefore you do not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.



Then John said to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, Offspring of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruits, therefore, worthy of a change of mind. And say not within yourselves, We have Abraham for a father; for I tell you that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. And already also the axe lies at the root of the trees; every tree therefore which bears not good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.

For some men have come in by deception, who were of old appointed to this judgment, impious, changing the grace of our God into lewdness, and denying our only master and Lord, Jesus Christ. But I wish to remind you, though you once knew all, that the Lord having saved his people from Egypt, afterwards destroyed those that believed not, and the angels who kept not their own province, but left their habitation, he has kept under darkness in eternal chains, for the judgment of the great day; read more.
as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, committing fornication in the same manner as these and going after unnatural lewdness, are made an example, enduring the punishment of eternal fire.

Because therefore you are warm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spew you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich and have become rich and have need of nothing, and know not that you are miserable, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked. I advise you to buy of me gold purified in the fire that you may be rich, and white robes that you may put on, and the shame of your nakedness not appear, and an eye-salve to anoint your eyes that you may see. read more.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous therefore and change your minds.












The love of God was manifested to us in this; that God has sent his only Son into the world that we may live through him. In this is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.




(Added verse not retained in Sawyer) What think you? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them is lost, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountain, and go and seek for the lost one? And if he finds it, I tell you truly that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which were not lost. read more.
So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

Blessed are you when they shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say every evil against you, falsely, for my sake. Rejoice and exult, for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.

Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude you from their company, and reproach and cast out your names as evil, on account of the Son of man. Rejoice in that day, and be exceedingly glad; for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in this manner did their fathers to the prophets.

AND Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man, a king, who made a wedding for his son. And he sent his servants to call the invited to the wedding, and they would not come. read more.
Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell the invited, Behold, I have prepared my supper, my oxen and fatted creatures are killed, and all things are ready; come to the wedding. But they neglected it, and went away, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise; and the rest took his servants and treated them injuriously, and killed them. And the king was angry, and sent his armies and destroyed those murderers, and burnt up their city. Then he said to his servants, The wedding indeed is ready, but the invited were not worthy. Go, therefore, to the crossings of the ways, and invite all you find to the wedding. And those servants went out into the highways, and collected all whom they found, both bad and good, and the wedding was furnished with guests. And the king coming in to see the guests observed there a man who had not on a wedding garment, and said to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and cast him into the darkness outside. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few chosen.

For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers in his vineyard. And agreeing with the laborers for a denarius [14 cents] a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the market; read more.
and he said to them, go also into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went. Again going out about the sixth and ninth hours, he did likewise. And going out about the eleventh hour he found others standing, and said to them, Why stand you all the day idle? They said to him, Because no man has hired us. He said to them, Go also into the vineyard. And when it was evening the lord of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them the wages [stipulated], beginning from the last even to the first. And those who came about the eleventh hour, received a denarius [14 cents] each. And those who came first supposed that they should receive more. And they also received a denarius [14 cents] each; and when they had received it, they complained of the householder, saying, These last have worked but one hour, and you have made them equal with us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered and said to one of them, Neighbor, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius [14 cents]? Take what belongs to you, and go, for I will give to the last even as to you. Is it not right for me to do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last.
