Revelation 3:4

Revelation 3:4

2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before¹ God.

3 ^aRemember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and ^brepent. ^cTherefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you ^das a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.

4 You have ^aa few names even in Sardis who have not ^bdefiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me ^cin white, for they are worthy.

5 He who overcomes ^ashall be clothed in white garments, and I will not ^bblot out his name from the ^cBook of Life; but ^dI will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

6 ^a“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’

The Faithful Church

7 “And to the¹ angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says ^aHe who is holy, ^bHe who is true, ^c“He who has the key of David, ^dHe who opens and no one shuts, and ^eshuts and no one opens”:

John Wesley's Notes

<< Revelation 3:3

Revelation 3:5 >>

Yet thou hast a few names - That is, persons. But though few, they had not separated themselves from the rest; otherwise, the angel of Sardis would not have had them. Yet it was no virtue of his, that they were unspotted; whereas it was his fault that they were but few. Who have not defiled their garments - Either by spotting themselves, or by partaking of other men's sins. They shall walk with me in white - in joy; in perfect holiness; in glory. They are worthy - A few good among many bad are doubly acceptable to God. O how much happier is this worthiness than that mentioned, Revelation 16:6.
