Sardis, The Dead Church
The New King James Version
Address to the Church of Sardis: Rev 3: 1-6
- 1."And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, 'These
things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: "I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.
- 2."Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that
are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God.
- 3."Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold
fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.
- 4."You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled
their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy.
- 5."He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and
I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before his angels.
- 6."He who has an ear; let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'"
