Be alert(A) and strengthen[a] what remains, which is about to die,[b] for I have not found your works complete before my God. Remember, then, what you have received and heard; keep it, and repent. If you are not alert, I will come[c] like a thief, and you have no idea at what hour I will come upon you.(B) But you have a few people[d] in Sardis who have not defiled[e] their clothes,(C) and they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
