"Rev 3:1  And to the angel of the church of Sardis write: These things saith he that hath the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know thy works, and that thou hast the name of being alive. And thou art dead.
Rev 3:2  Be watchful and strengthen the things that remain, which are ready to die. For I find not thy works full before my God.
Rev 3:3  Have in mind therefore in what manner thou hast received and heard: and observe and do penance: If then thou shalt not watch, I will come to thee as a thief: and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come to thee.
Rev 3:4  But thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
Rev 3:5  He that shall overcome shall thus be clothed in white garments: and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life. And I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
Rev 3:6  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Rev 3:14  And to the angel of the church of Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, who is the beginning of the creation of God:
Rev 3:15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot. I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16  But because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.
Rev 3:17  Because thou sayest: I am rich and made wealthy and have need of nothing: and knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.
Rev 3:18  I counsel thee to buy of me gold, fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich and mayest be clothed in white garments: and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear. And anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Rev 3:19  Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore and do penance.
Rev 3:20  Behold, I stand at the gate and knock. If any man shall hear my voice and open to me the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him: and he with me.
Rev 3:21  To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Rev 3:22  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches."
Revelation 3:1-6,14-22

"Psa 15:2  He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:
Psa 15:3  He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.
Psa 15:4  In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not;
Psa 15:5  He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: He that doth these things, shall not be moved for ever."
Psalm 15:2-5
