Revelation 3:1-6

New Matthew Bible

He instructs and informs the angels of the three remaining congregations, declaring again the reward of the person who overcomes.

3 And write to the messenger of the congregation of Sardis: This says he who has the Spirit of God and the seven stars: I know your works. You have a name that you live, and you are dead. ² Be awake, and strengthen the things that remain, which are ready to die. For I have not found your works perfect before God. ³ Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If you will not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.

⁴ You have a few names in Sardis that have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. ⁵ He who overcomes will be clothed in white array, and I will not put his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. ⁶ Let him who has ears hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
