Revelation,
Lesson Twelve
Day 5 of Week Two Scripture for today 3.1-6
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.
