Sardis and Philadelphia
And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of the one who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your works, that you have a name for being alive, and you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what is left, that is ready to die. Because I haven't found your works complete before God. So remember what you have received and heard. Hold on to it and repent. If you won't wake up, I will come on you like a thief, and you won't know what hour I will come on you. But you have a few names in Sardis who haven't dirtied their clothes. And they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy. The one who overcomes will be dressed in white clothes. And I will never blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. Anyone who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the one who is holy and true, who holds the key of David, who opens and nobody shuts, and shuts and nobody opens. I know your works. Look — I have set before you an open door that nobody can shut. Because you have a little strength, and you have kept my word, and you haven't denied my name. Look — I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who call themselves Jews and are not but are lying, come and bow down at your feet and know that I have loved you. Because you have kept the word of my patience, I will also keep you from the hour of temptation that is coming on the whole world, to try those who live on the earth. I am coming quickly. Hold fast to what you have, so nobody takes your crown. The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never leave it. And 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 I will write on him my new name. Anyone who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your works. You've got a name for being alive, and you're dead. Wake up, and shore up what's left, what's on the point of dying, because I haven't found your works finished in the sight of my God. So remember what you were given and what you heard, and hold onto it, and turn back. If you won't wake up, I'll come like a thief, and you won't know the hour I come on you. But you've got a few names in Sardis who haven't dirtied their clothes, and they'll walk with me in white, because they're worthy. The one who comes through it will be dressed in white, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I'll own his name in front of my Father and in front of his angels. Whoever's got ears, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the holy one, the true one, who holds the key of David — who opens and nobody shuts, who shuts and nobody opens. I know your works. Look, I've put in front of you a door standing open that nobody can shut. You've only got a little strength, but you've kept my word and you haven't denied my name. Look, I'll hand over those from the synagogue of Satan who say they're Jews and aren't, but are lying. I'll make them come and bow down at your feet and know that I have loved you. Because you've kept my word about patient waiting, I'll keep you from the hour of testing that's coming on the whole world, to test everyone who lives on the earth. I'm coming quickly. Hold onto what you've got, so nobody takes your crown. The one who comes through it I'll make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he'll never leave it. I'll write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God — the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from my God — and my own new name. Whoever's got ears, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.
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. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 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. 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. 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. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 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; 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. 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. 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. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 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.

Laodicea
And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God. I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am going to spit you out of my mouth. Because you say, I am rich, increased with goods, and need nothing — and you don't know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. I advise you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can be rich; and white clothes, so you can be dressed and the shame of your nakedness not show; and ointment for your eyes, so you can see. Everyone I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be in earnest, and repent. Look — I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. To the one who overcomes I will grant a seat with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. Anyone who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

You say, I'm rich, I've done well, I don't need a thing — and you don't know that you're wretched and pitiful and poor and blind and naked. Here's my advice: buy from me gold refined in the fire so you'll be truly rich, and white clothes to wear so the shame of your nakedness doesn't show, and ointment for your eyes so you can see. The ones I love, I pull into line and discipline. So put your back into it and turn around. Look — I'm standing at the door knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I'll come in and eat with him, and he with me. To the one who comes through it I'll give a place with me on my throne, just as I came through it myself and sat down with my Father on his throne.

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: 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. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 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. 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.
