(A)Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and (B)repent. (C)Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you (D)as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. [a]You have (E)a few names [b]even in Sardis who have not (F)defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me (G)in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes (H)shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not (I)blot out his name from the (J)Book of Life; but (K)I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

(L)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’

Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent.(A) But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief,(B) and you will not know at what time(C) I will come to you.

Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes.(D) They will walk with me, dressed in white,(E) for they are worthy. The one who is victorious(F) will, like them, be dressed in white.(G) I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life,(H) but will acknowledge that name before my Father(I) and his angels. Whoever has ears, let them hear(J) what the Spirit says to the churches.
