1This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Sardis:
I have the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. Listen to what I say.
I know what you are doing. Everyone may think you are alive, but you are dead.
2Wake up! You have only a little strength left, and it is almost gone. So try to become stronger. I have found that you are not completely obeying God.
3 and I will tell my Father and his angels that they are my followers.
6If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.
The Letter to Philadelphia7 When I open a door, no one can close it. And when I close a door, no one can open it. Listen to what I say.
8I know everything you have done. And I have placed before you an open door no one can close. You were not very strong, but you obeyed my message and did not deny you are my followers.
9 I am the faithful and true witness and the source of God's creation. Listen to what I say.
15I know everything you have done, and you are not cold or hot. I wish you were either one or the other.
16But since you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my mouth.
17You claim to be rich and successful and to have everything you need. But you don't know how bad off you really are. You are pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.
18Buy your gold from me. It has been refined in a fire, and it will make you rich. Buy white clothes from me. Wear them and you can cover up your shameful nakedness. Buy medicine for your eyes, so you will be able to see.
19 Pr 3.12; He 12.6. I correct and punish everyone I love. So make up your minds to turn away from your sins.
20Listen! I am standing and knocking at your door. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will eat together.
21Everyone who wins the victory will sit with me on my throne, just as I won the victory and sat with my Father on his throne.
22If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.
