Remember, 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.
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. 4Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5The one who conquers will be dressed, like them, in white, and I will never blot out his name from the book of life. I will acknowledge his name before my Father and before his angels.
