The Message to Sardis

3 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars:

“I know your works; you have a name of being alive, but you are dead.^(A)

⁶ but the widow^[a] who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.^(A)

²⁶ For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead.

⁴ John to the seven churches that are in Asia:

Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,^(A)

¹⁹ “I know your works: your love, faith, service, and endurance. I know that your latest works are greater than the first.
