^4 [a]You have ^(A)a few names ^[b]even in Sardis who have not ^(B)defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me ^(C)in white, for they are worthy.

A Multitude from the Great Tribulation

⁹ After these things I looked, and behold, ^(A)a great multitude which no one could number, ^(B)of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, ^(C)clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,

⁵ He who overcomes ^(A)shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not ^(B)blot out his name from the ^(C)Book of Life; but ^(D)I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

¹¹ Then a ^(A)white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them ^(B)that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

¹³ Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in ^(A)white robes, and where did they come from?”

¹⁴ And I said to him, ^[a]“Sir, you know.”

So he said to me, ^(B)“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and ^(C)washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

^14 (A)And the armies in heaven, ^(B)clothed in ^[a]fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

^4 (A)Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, ^(B)clothed in white ^[a]robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.

¹⁸ I counsel you ^(A)to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and ^(B)white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
