"And to the angel of the church 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 prabuddhO bhava, avaziSTaM yadyat mRtakalpaM tadapi sabalIkuru yata Izvarasya sAkSAt tava karmmANi na siddhAnIti pramANaM mayA prAptaM|
Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which were about to die, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you do not wake up, I will come as a thief, and you won't know what hour I will come to you.

Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

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.

"To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: "These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, he who has the key of Dawid, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens:

"I know your works. Look, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have a little power, and kept my word, and did not deny my name.

Look, I give of the synagogue of Satana, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie; look, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

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.

I am coming quickly. Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

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 Urishlim, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.

"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: "The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's creation, says these things:
15 tava kriyA mama gOcarAH tvaM zItO nAsi taptO 'pi nAsIti jAnAmi|
"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 hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.

Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;' and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;

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 put on your eyes, that you may see.
19 yESvahaM prIyE tAn sarvvAn bhartsayAmi zAsmi ca, atastvam udyamaM vidhAya manaH parivarttaya|
As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. Be zealous therefore, 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 will dine with him, and he with me.

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.
