1529 Book of life. Open door. “Amen” created REVELATION 3:1-19
3 “And to the angela of the CHAP. 3
congregation in Sardis write:
These are the things that he says
you. 10 Because you kept the
who has the seven spirits b of
God and the seven stars, c ‘I know
your deeds, that you have the
name that you are alive, but you
are dead. d 2 Become watchful,
e and strengthen f the things
remaining that were ready to die,
for I have not found your deeds
fully performed before my God. g
3 Therefore, continue mindful of
how you have received h and how
you heard, and go on keeping it, i
and repent. j Certainly unless you
wake up, k I shall come as a thief, l
and you will not know at all at
what hour I shall come upon
you. m
4 “ ‘Nevertheless, you do have
a few names n in Sardis that did
not defile o their outer garments,
and they shall walk with me in
white ones, p because they are
worthy. q 5 He that conquers r
will thus be arrayed in white outer
garments; s and I will by no
means blot out his name from
the book of life, t but I will make
acknowledgment of his name before
my Father u and before his
angels. v 6 Let the one who has
an ear hear what the spirit w says
to the congregations.’
7 “And to the angel x of the
congregation in Philadelphia
write: These are the things he
says who is holy, y who is true, z
who has the key of David, a who
openssothatnoonewillshut,
and shuts so that no one opens,
8 ‘I know your deeds b —look! I
have set before you an opened
door, c which no one can shut—
that you have a little power,
and you kept my word and
did not prove false to my name. d
9 Look! I will give those from
the synagogue of Satan who say
they are Jews, e and yet they are
not but are lying f —look! I will
make them come and do obeisance
g before your feet and
make them know I have loved

temple h of my God, i and he will
by no means go out from it anymore,

name of the city of my God, the

out of heaven from my God, and

the Amen n says, the faithful o and
true p witness, q the beginning
of the creation by God, r 15 ‘I
know your deeds, that you are
neither cold nor hot. I wish you
were cold or else hot. 16 So,
because you are lukewarm and
neither hot s nor cold, t Iamgoing
to vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Because you say: “I am rich u

not need anything at all,” but
you do not know you are miserable

blind v and naked, 18 I advise
you to buy from me gold w refined
by fire that you may become rich,
and white outer garments that
you may become dressed and
that the shame of your nakedness
may not become manifested,

eyes y that you may see.
