Revelation 3:2

The Letter To The Church In Sardis

¹ 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 name that you live, and are dead. ² Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die. For I have not found your works being fulfilled before God. ³ Remember then how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.
