2 Wake|strong="G1127" up! Make|strong="G4137" yourselves|strong="G4771" stronger before|strong="G1799" what|strong="G3739" little strength you|strong="G4771" have|strong="G2532" left|strong="G2147" is|strong="G2316" completely gone. I|strong="G1473" find|strong="G2147" that|strong="G3739" what|strong="G3739" you|strong="G4771" do|strong="G1096" is|strong="G2316" not|strong="G3756" good enough for|strong="G1063" my|strong="G3739" God|strong="G2316".
3 So|strong="G3767" don’t|strong="G3756" forget what|strong="G4169" you|strong="G4771" have|strong="G2532" received|strong="G2983" and|strong="G2532" heard|strong="G0191". Obey|strong="G5083" it|strong="G1437". Change your|strong="G1437" hearts and|strong="G2532" lives! You|strong="G4771" must wake|strong="G1127" up, or|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1437" will|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2240" to|strong="G1909" you|strong="G4771" and|strong="G2532" surprise you|strong="G4771" like|strong="G5613" a|strong="G5613" thief|strong="G2812". You|strong="G4771" will|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" know|strong="G1097" when|strong="G5613" I|strong="G1437" will|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2240".
4 “But|strong="G0235" you|strong="G3739" have|strong="G2192" a|strong="G2192" few|strong="G3641" people|strong="G0846" in|strong="G1722" your|strong="G2192" group there|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" Sardis|strong="G4554" who|strong="G3739" have|strong="G2192" kept|strong="G3739" themselves|strong="G0846" clean. They|strong="G0846" will|strong="G1510" walk|strong="G4043" with|strong="G3326" me|strong="G1473". They|strong="G0846" will|strong="G1510" wear white|strong="G3022" clothes|strong="G2440", because|strong="G3754" they|strong="G0846" are|strong="G1510" worthy|strong="G0514".
5 Everyone who|strong="G3588" wins the|strong="G3588" victory will|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" dressed|strong="G4016" in|strong="G1722" white|strong="G3022" clothes|strong="G2440" like|strong="G3779" them|strong="G0846".

6 Everyone|strong="G5101" who|strong="G3588" hears|strong="G0191" this|strong="G3588" should listen|strong="G0191" to|strong="G3004" what|strong="G5101" the|strong="G3588" Spirit|strong="G4151" says|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3588" churches|strong="G1577".

8 “I|strong="G1473" know|strong="G1492" what|strong="G3739" you|strong="G4771" do|strong="G1492".

I|strong="G1473" know|strong="G1492" you|strong="G4771" are|strong="G3739" weak, but|strong="G2532" you|strong="G4771" have|strong="G2192" followed my|strong="G5083" teaching|strong="G3056". You|strong="G4771" were|strong="G3739" not|strong="G3756" afraid to|strong="G1410" speak my|strong="G5083" name|strong="G3686".
9 Listen|strong="G2400"! There|strong="G1510" is|strong="G1510" a|strong="G1510" group that|strong="G3754" belongs|strong="G1510" to|strong="G2443" Satan|strong="G4567". They|strong="G0846" say|strong="G3004" they|strong="G0846" are|strong="G1510" Jews|strong="G2453", but|strong="G0235" they|strong="G0846" are|strong="G1510" liars. They|strong="G0846" are|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" true Jews|strong="G2453". I|strong="G1473" will|strong="G1510" make|strong="G4160" them|strong="G0846" come|strong="G2240" before|strong="G1799" you|strong="G4771" and|strong="G2532" bow|strong="G4352" at|strong="G1537" your|strong="G0025" feet|strong="G4228". They|strong="G0846" will|strong="G1510" know|strong="G1097" that|strong="G3754" you|strong="G4771" are|strong="G1510" the|strong="G3588" people|strong="G0846" I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G1510" loved|strong="G0025".
10 You|strong="G4771" followed my|strong="G5083" command to|strong="G1909" endure patiently. So|strong="G2504" I|strong="G1473" will|strong="G3195" keep|strong="G5083" you|strong="G4771" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G3588" time|strong="G5610" of|strong="G1537" trouble that|strong="G3754" will|strong="G3195" come|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1909" the|strong="G3588" world|strong="G3625"—a|strong="G2064" time|strong="G5610" that|strong="G3754" will|strong="G3195" test|strong="G3985" everyone|strong="G3748" living|strong="G2730" on|strong="G1909" earth|strong="G1093".
11 “I|strong="G3739" am|strong="G2192" coming|strong="G2064" soon|strong="G5035".

12 Those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" win the|strong="G3588" victory will|strong="G2316" be|strong="G2532" pillars|strong="G4769" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G3588" temple|strong="G3485" of|strong="G1537" my|strong="G1722" God|strong="G2316".

That|strong="G0846" city|strong="G4172" is|strong="G2316" the|strong="G3588" new|strong="G2537" Jerusalem|strong="G2419". It|strong="G0846" is|strong="G2316" coming|strong="G2597" down|strong="G2597" out|strong="G1831" of|strong="G1537" heaven|strong="G3772" from|strong="G0575" my|strong="G1722" God|strong="G2316".

13 Everyone|strong="G5101" who|strong="G3588" hears|strong="G0191" this|strong="G3588" should listen|strong="G0191" to|strong="G3004" what|strong="G5101" the|strong="G3588" Spirit|strong="G4151" says|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3588" churches|strong="G1577".
14 “Write|strong="G1125" this|strong="G3588" to|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3588" angel|strong="G0032" of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G3588" church|strong="G1577" in|strong="G1722" Laodicea|strong="G2993":
15 “I|strong="G3754" know|strong="G1492" what|strong="G3588" you|strong="G4771" do|strong="G1492". You|strong="G4771" are|strong="G1510" not|strong="G1510" hot|strong="G2200" or|strong="G2228" cold|strong="G5593". I|strong="G3754" wish|strong="G3785" that|strong="G3754" you|strong="G4771" were|strong="G1510" hot|strong="G2200" or|strong="G2228" cold|strong="G5593"!
16 But|strong="G2532" you|strong="G4771" are|strong="G1510" only|strong="G2532" warm—not|strong="G1510" hot|strong="G2200", not|strong="G1510" cold|strong="G5593". So|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1510" ready|strong="G3195" to|strong="G3195" spit|strong="G1692" you|strong="G4771" out|strong="G1537" of|strong="G1537" my|strong="G3754" mouth|strong="G4750".
17 You|strong="G4771" say|strong="G3004" you|strong="G4771" are|strong="G1510" rich|strong="G4145". You|strong="G4771" think you|strong="G4771" have|strong="G2192" become|strong="G4147" wealthy|strong="G4147" and|strong="G2532" don’t|strong="G3756" need|strong="G5532" anything|strong="G3762".
