1And to the angel of the church in Sardis write; These are the words of him who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2Awake, and strengthen those things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of God. 3Therefore, remember what you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If you will not awaken, I will come like a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you. 4Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5He who overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white garments; and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 7And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These are the words of he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens; 8I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: I know you have but little strength, yet you have kept my word, and have not denied my name. 9Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but lie; behold, I will make them to come and bow down before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10Because you have kept my word to patiently endure, I will keep you from the hour of trial, which shall come upon all the world, to test those who live upon the earth. 11Behold, I come quickly: hold fast to that which you have, that no man may take your crown. 12He who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall never go out of it: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and I will also write upon him my new name. 13He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 14And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I wish that you were either cold or hot. 16So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. 17For you say, I am rich, and have grown wealthy, and have need of nothing; but you do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. 18I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white clothing, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness may not appear; and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. 19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: therefore be zealous, and repent. 20Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will eat with him, and he with me. 21To him who overcomes I will grant the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
