Sardis, The Dead Church
The King James Version
Address to the Church of Sardis: Rev 3: 1-6
- 1.And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These
things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
- 2.Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that
are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before
God.
- 3.Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and
hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
- 4.Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled
their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
- 5.He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white
raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before
his angels.
- 6.He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
