Revelation 3:1-3, King James Version (KJV)

 ¹And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
 ²Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
 ³Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Revelation 3:1-3 Alternate Word Pictures with Reiterations (AWPR)

(1)“And to the Messenger of the called-out ones in Sardis, inscribe and write:  These definite words lays He who holds and possesses the 7 Spirits of GOD and the 7 Stars.   I see - perceive - and know the works - performance - and deeds of you, that the name which you hold and possess (is) that (which speaks) of (being) eternally alive, but (you) are dead unburied corpses. 

(2) --------   For I have not found the works - performance - and deeds of you as having been filled and brought about to a completion before the face of -- and in the eyes of -- GOD. 

(3)  Call to mind and remember with certainty thereupon, in what manner or way, and by what means you accepted and received, and how that you listened and comprehended and obeyed, and how that you kept an eye on and watched, and look upon this with regret and sorrow while changing your mind and heart into the other direction, and repent.  If then, you may not refrain from a sleepiness and a lack of energy - attention - and determination, I will come up upon you, arising then as a thief who robs secretly, and you will not at all know -- in either a beginning or completed sense -- what hour I will have come up upon you.”

Revelation 3:4-6 (KJV) 

⁴Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; 

and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

 ⁵He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
 ⁶He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 

Revelation 3:4-6 (AWPR)

(4)“You hold and possess a few names, and in Sardis, which have not defiled their robes, so as to stain them with mud and filth.  And they shall walk along and accompany with Me in bright shining white, 

because they are-weighing-of-value / are-worthy.


(5) He who overcomes and prevails to victory, he shall be cast about in white inner and outer garments; and I will not at all blot out and wipe away the name of him from the Scroll of Eternal Life.  And I will assent out fully, confessing and acknowledging the name of him before the Father of Me, and before the angels of Him. 

(6)The (one) possessing an ear to hear: listen, understand, and obey; hearken to what the Spirit is speaking and laying before the Churches.”

8)  I see - know - and perceive the works - actions - and performance of you.  Behold, look and see!  I have of My own good will and accord, bestowed upon you an entrance door having been open-opened, and no one has the power or ability to shut/close it: because you hold and possess and have kept the Word of Me, and have definitely not denied or refused the Name of Me.


9) Behold, look, and see!  Of my own good will and accord, I give out of the gathering of Satan those who lay words upon themselves, saying that they be Jewish, and they are not.  On the contrary, they lie, cheat, and falsify.  Behold, look, and see!  I will bring about and cause them to come to a completion, in order that they shall come and shall do obeisance and show respect before the face  and eyes  of your feet, and they shall know intuitively that I loved you with a high esteem and affection.
   
10) Because you have kept your guard, and kept your eye upon the Word of My patience by enduring and bearing up under your circumstances; I will also keep My guard and eye upon you (to deliver you) out of the Time of Testing and trial of your character, that being impending and about to come, to bring suffering upon all the world's inhabitants (who are) dwelling together, to try - test - and prove  those who dwell in permanent dwellings/ structures upon the Earth.”
