Revelation 3 - William Tyndale New Testament

¹ ¶ And write unto the angel of the congregation of Sardis: this sayth he that hath the spirit of God, and the vij. stars. I know thy works, thou hast a name that you livest, and thou are dead.

² Be awake 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 you shalt not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

⁴ Thou hast a few names in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

⁵ He that overcometh shall be clothed in white array, and I will not put out his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my father, and before his angels.

⁶ Let him that hath ears hear what the spirit sayth unto the congregations.

⁷ ¶ And write unto the angel of Philadelphia: This sayth he that is holy and true, which hath the key of David: which openeth and no man shuteth, and shuteth and no man openeth.

⁸ I know your 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 sayings: and hast not denied my name.

⁹ Behold. I make them of the congregation of Sathan, which call themselves Jewes and are not, but do lie. Behold. I will make them that they shall come and worship before thy feet: and shall know that I have loved thee.

¹⁰ ¶ Because thou hast kept the words of my patience, I will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which will come upon all the world, to tempt them that dwell upon the earth.

¹¹ Behold I come shortly. Hold that which thou hast, that no man take away thy crown.

¹² 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, new Ierusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God and I will write upon him my new name.

¹³ Let him that hath ears, hear what the spirit saith unto the congregations.

¹⁴ ¶ And unto the angel of the congregation which is in Laodicia write: This saith (amen) the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creatures of God.

¹⁵ I know thy works that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or hot.

¹⁶ So then because thou art between both, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth:

¹⁷ because thou sayst thou art rich and increased with goods, and hast need of nothing, and knowest not how thou art wretched and miserable, poor, blind, and naked.

¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayst be rich: and white raiment, that thou mayst be clothed, that thy filthy nakedness do not appear: and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayst see.

¹⁹ ¶ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be fervent therefore and repent.

²⁰ Behold I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him and will sup with him, and he with me.

²¹ To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my seat, even as I overcame and have sitten with my father, in his seat.

²² Let him that hath ears, hear what the spirit saith unto the congregations.
