To the Church in Sardis

3 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him ^(A)who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.

“‘I know your works. You have the reputation ^(B)of being alive, ^(C)but you are dead.

⁵ From the throne came ^(A)flashes of lightning, and rumblings^[a] and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning ^(B)seven torches of fire, ^(C)which are the seven spirits of God,

⁶ And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw ^(A)a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with ^(B)seven eyes, which are ^(C)the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
