1 Isithunywa sebandla eliseSardesi, sibhalele uthi:Utsho lowo unabo ooMoya abasixhenxe bakaThixo, nazo iinkwenkwezi ezisixhenxe, ukuthi: Ndiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, ukuba unalo igama lokuba uphilile, ukanti ufile.
2 Phapha, uzizimase izinto eziseleyo eziza kufa; kuba andiyifumananga izalisekile imisebenzi yakho phambi koThixo.
3 Khumbula ngoko ukuba utheni na ukwamkela kwakho, nokuva ugcíne, uguquke. Ukuba ngoko akuthanga ulinde, ndokufikela njengesela; akusayi kulazi ilixa endokufikela ngalo.
4 Unamagama ambalwa naseSardesi apho, angazidyobhanga wona iingubo zawo; baya kuhamba nam benezimhlophe; ngokuba befanelekile.
