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.

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”:  
8 a“I know your works. See, I have set before you ban open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.  
9 Indeed I will make athose of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed bI will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.  
10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, aI also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon bthe whole world, to test those who dwell con the earth.  
11 Behold, aI am coming quickly! bHold fast what you have, that no one may take cyour crown.

Revelation 3:4

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.
