Revelation 3:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Be awake, and strengthen the things which remain, that are [a]ready to die: for I have not found thy work perfect before God.
3 Remember therefore, how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast and repent. (A)If therefore thou wilt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Notwithstanding thou hast a few names yet in Sardis, [b]which have not defiled their garments: and they shall walk with me in [c]white: for they are [d]worthy.
