Revelation 3
KJV Easy Read Bible

The Dead Church

1And to the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things says He that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and are dead.

2Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect before God.   complete

3Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.

4You have a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white: for they are worthy.

5He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels.   EX 32:32 | clothing

6He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

The Faithful Church

7And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things says He that is holy, He that is true, He that has the key of David, He that opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens;   ISA 22:22

8I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: for you have a little strength, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

9Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.   ISA 60:14

10Because you have kept the word of My patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.   testing; test

11Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown.

12Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God: and I will write upon him My new name.   ISA 62:2

13He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

The Lukewarm Church

14And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.

16So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth.   vomit

17Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:   HOS 12:8

18I counsel you to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.   advise

19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.   PROV 3:12 | reprove; discipline; eager

20Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.   dine

21To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne.

22He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
