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 for being alive, but you are dead.
In context
1To 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 for being alive, but you are dead. 2Wake up, and strengthen what remains, which is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. 3Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.
