BooK of Revelation
a paraphrased study
1 - “And to the angel {angelo - messenger} of the church in Sardis write: ‘These are the words of he who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars - I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you’re dead {are lacking life}. 2 Wake up [ginomai grégoreó - be watching, vigilant, alert] and strengthen what remains, but is about to die, for I’ve not found your works complete in the sight of God. 3 Remember what you received and what you heard. Keep it, and repent [metanoeo - think better and turn]. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you won’t know at what hour I come {unavoidably} against you. {In other words? Get it together!} 4 Yet you have still a few in Sardis who have not soiled their garments {contaminated/diluted their walk? Because the doctrine/belief is soiled?} and they will walk with me in white, for they’re worthy. {Having “washed their robes/garments in the blood/Life of the Lamb”. Ultimately all will be clear as crystal. Jn.12:32} 5 For the one who overcomes [nikaó - from níkē - victory; to conquer, overcome, prevail, carry off the victory, come off victorious] will be clothed in white garments, and I will never remove their name from the book of life. I will confess their name before my Father and before his angels. 6 Whoever who has an ear, let them hear. (What the Spirit says to the churches/believers).’
