Revelation 3 (WEBP)

[1] “And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: “He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars says these things: “I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
[2] Wake up and strengthen the things that remain, which you were about to throw away, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God.
[3] Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.
[4] Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that didn’t defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
[5] He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and 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 assemblies.
[7] “To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:
[8] “I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn’t deny my name.
[9] Behold, I make some of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie—behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
[10] Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
[11] I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.
[12] He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
[13] He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
[14] “To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: “The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of God’s creation, says these things:
[15] “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
[16] So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
[17] Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing,’ and don’t know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;
[18] I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.
[19] As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
[20] Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me.
[21] He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
[22] He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”

[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.
[7] And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; () These things saith () he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath () the key of David, he that openeth, () and no man shutteth; () and shutteth, () and no man openeth; ()
[8] I know () thy works: behold, () I have set () before thee an open () door, and no man can () shut () it: for thou hast () a little strength, and hast kept () my word, and hast not denied () my name.
[9] Behold, () I will make () them of the synagogue of Satan, which say () they are () Jews, and are () not, but do lie; () behold, () I will make () them to come () and worship () before thy feet, and to know () that I have loved () thee.
[10] Because thou hast kept () the word of my patience, I also will keep () thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come () () upon all the world, to try () them that dwell () upon the earth.
[11] Behold, () I come () quickly: hold that fast () which thou hast, () that no man take () thy crown.
[12] Him that overcometh () will I make () a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go () no more out: and I will write () upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down () () out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
[13] He that hath () an ear, let him hear () what the Spirit saith () unto the churches.

[15] I know () thy works, that thou art () neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert () cold or hot.
[16] So then because thou art () lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will () spue () thee out of my mouth.
[17] Because thou sayest, () I am () rich, and increased with goods, () and have () need of nothing; and knowest () not that thou art () wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
[18] I counsel () thee to buy () of me gold tried () in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; () and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, () and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; () and anoint () thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. ()
[19] As many as I love, () I rebuke () and chasten: () be zealous () therefore, and repent. ()
[20] Behold, () I stand () at the door, and knock: () if any man hear () my voice, and open () the door, I will come in () to him, and will sup () with him, and he with me.
[21] To him that overcometh () will I grant () to sit () with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, () and am set down () with my Father in his throne.
[22] He that hath () an ear, let him hear () what the Spirit saith () unto the churches.
