The message to the assembly in Sardis

Rev 3:1–6

3:1 The message to the assembly in Sardis

3To the assembly’s messenger in Sardis write:

The one having the seven spirits of God and the seven stars says these things: “I know what you’re achieving and that you have a reputation of being ‘alive’, but you’re actually dead. 2So wake up from the dead and strengthen what’s left and was about to die, because your actions have been inadequate in God’s sight. 3Remember how you first listened to and internalised God’s message, and how you obeyed it and repented. If you don’t wake up soon, I’ll come unexpectedly—you’ll certainly not know in advance when I’ll be coming.[ref] 4But you do have a few people in Sardis who haven’t stained their records, and because they are worthy, they’ll be dressed in white and walk with me. 5So anyone who conquers will be dressed like that in pure white, and I certainly won’t erase their names from the Book of Life, but I’ll declare their names to my father and to his messengers.[ref]

6Everyone who wants to understand needs to listen to what God’s spirit is saying to the assemblies.”

43[ref]But you do know that if the home-owner knew when the thief would come, he would be there watching and not allow the thief to break into the house. 44Because of that, you all should also be ready because otherwise you wouldn’t realise that humanity’s child is coming at that time.

Luk 12:39-40:

39[ref]But you should also know this: if the home-owner knew what time the thief would arrive, he’d be ready watching and not allow his house to be burgled. 40So you all need to be ready because you don’t know when humanity’s child is going to arrive.
