1. “To the angel of the church in Sardis write the following:“This is the solemn pronouncement of the one who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: ‘I know your deeds, that you have a reputation that you are alive, but in reality you are dead.
2. Wake up then, and strengthen what remains that was about to die, because I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God.
3. Therefore, remember what you received and heard, and obey it, and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will never know at what hour I will come against you.
