The Letter to Sardis

“Write to the angel[a] of the church in Sardis: Thus says the one who has the seven spirits of God(A) and the seven stars:(B) I know your works; (C) you have a reputation[b] for being alive, but you are dead.(D) Be alert(E) and strengthen[c] what remains, which is about to die,[d] for I have not found your works complete before my God.
