The Message to Sardis

‘And 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 have a name for being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is at the point of death, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God. Remember then what you received and heard; obey it, and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.

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.

給撒狄教會的信

「你要寫信告訴撒狄教會的天使,有上帝的七靈又有七顆星的主說,

『我知道你的行為,你名義上活著,實際上是死的。 你要警醒!把所剩無幾、奄奄一息的生命振作起來,因為我發現你的行為在我的上帝面前不純全。 因此,要回想你以前所領受、所聽見的教導,遵守這些教導,並且悔改。你若不警醒,我必在你意想不到的時候像賊一樣忽然來到。
