Revelation 3
1 AND to the angel who is in Sardis write: These saith he who hath the seven Spirits of Aloha, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that a name thou hast that thou livest, and thou art dead.2 Awake, and keep those things which remain, which are about to die; for I have not found thy works complete before my God.3 Remember then how thou hast received, and hearken, and keep, and repent. And if then thou wilt not awake, I will come against thee as the thief, and thou shalt not know in what hour I come against thee.4 But thou hast a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their vestments; and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.5 He who overcometh shall be clothed in white vestments, and I will not blot their [fn] name from the book of life; and I will confess their name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
7 14 And to the angel of the church which is in Ladikia write: These saith the Amen, the Witness, the faithful, the true, the Head of the creation of Aloha.15 I know thy works, that thou art neither hot nor cold. Would that thou wast cold or hot !16 So, because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit thee from my mouth.17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have become opulent, and of nothing have need; and knowest not that thou art infirm, and miserable, and needy, and blind, and naked;18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold, proved by fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and the shame of thy nakedness be not seen; and lave with collyrium thine eyes, that thou mayest see.19 All those whom I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and will open the door, I will enter unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me.21 And to him who overcometh I will give to sit with me upon my throne, as also I have overcome, and have sat with my Father in his throne.22 He who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
