Verse 1New King James Version“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.[4] The Textus Receptus has the words {{lang-gr|το ονομα}}, to onoma, the name. Biblical exegete Heinrich Meyer notes that the definite article (το) does not appear in several of the ancient manuscripts and is "to be deleted".[5] The Douai-Rheims translation and the Revised Standard Version refer to "the name" whereas the New Revised Standard Version and many modern translations refer to "a name"; the meaning is interpretated as "a reputation" by the Amplified Bible and the New International Version.[6] Verse 7New King James Version“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”:[7] The citation is from {{bibleref2|Isaiah|22:22|NKJV}} Verse 9New King James VersionIndeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.[8] Verse 12Him that overcometh 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 cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.[9] Cross reference: 5 Verse 14New King James VersionAnd 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:[10] In {{bibleverse||Isaiah|65:16|NKJV}} - he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth - the literal translation refers to the God of Amen.[11] The Common English Bible gives the translation as "the God called Amen".[12] Verse 15New King James VersionI know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot.[13] According to the Jamieson-Fausset-Brown commentary, "cold" must mean "more than negatively cold", i.e. not warm: it must mean "positively, icy cold: never warmed", while "hot" literally means "boiling" or "fervent". They comment that "the lukewarm state (verse 16), if it be the transitional stage to a warmer, is a desirable state (for a little religion, if real, is better than none); but most fatal when, as here, an abiding condition, for it is mistaken for a safe state."[14] Verse 18New King James VersionI counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.[15] Verse 20New King James VersionBehold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.[16]{{Also|Laodicean Church#"Behold, I stand" (3:20)}} The vision of Christ "standing at the door" may be expressive of the near approach, or sudden coming of Christ to judgment (see {{bibleref2|James|5:9|NKJV}}), and his knocking may signify the notice that will be given of it, by some of the immediate forerunners and signs of his coming; which yet will be observed but by a few, such a general sleepiness will have seized all professors of religion; and particularly may intend the midnight cry, which will, in its issue, rouse them all.[17] See also
