But thou haste a few names in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments: And they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. He that overcometh shall be clothed in white array, and I will not put out his name out of the book of life: And I will confess his name before my Father, and before his Angels. He that hath ears let him hear what the spirit sayeth to the congregations.

He exhorteth them by a promise most large unto perseverance. Last he propoundeth again unto them most ample rewards: even to the corrupt sort, in case they amend: and to the faithful, if they continue as they be.
