Strengthen what little remains, for even what is left is almost dead. I find that your actions do not meet the requirements of my God.G1096G1127G2532G4741G3062G3739G3195G599G1063G2147G3756G2147G4675G2041G4137G1799G2316 3Go back to what you heard and believed at first; hold to it firmly. Repent and turn to me again. If you don't wake up, I will come to you suddenly, as unexpected as a thief.G3421G3767G4459G2983G2532G191G2532G5083G2532G3340G3362G3767G1127G3362G1127G2240G1909G4571G5613G2812G2532G1097G3364G1097G4169G5610G2240G1909G4571 4"Yet there are some in the church in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes with evil. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.G2192G3641G3686G2532G1722G4554G3739G3435G3756G3435G846G2440G2532G4043G3326G1700G1722G3022G3754G1526G514 5All who are victorious will be clothed in white. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before my Father and his angels that they are mine.G3528G3778G4016G1722G3022G2440G2532G1813G3364G1813G846G3686G1537G976G2222G2532G1843G846G3686G1799G3450G3962G2532G1799G846G32 6"Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.G2192G3775G191G5101G4151G3004G1577

I have everything I want. I don't need a thing!' And you don't realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.G3754G3004G3754G1510G4145G2532G4147G2532G2192G5532G3762G2532G1492G3756G3754G4771G1488G5005G2532G1652G2532G4434G2532G5185G2532G1131 18So I advise you to buy gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see.G4823G4671G59G3844G1700G5553G4448G1537G4442G2443G4147G2532G3022G2440G2443G4016G2532G152G4675G1132G5319G3361G5319G2532G1472G4675G3788G2854G2443G991 19I correct and discipline everyone I love.
