“Thou 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. He 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. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Revelation 3:1-6. {8T 303.1}

Dog har du i Sardes nogle få, som ikke har besmittet deres klæder; de skal vandre med mig i hvide klæder, thi de er værdige dertil. Den, der sejrer, skal således iføres hvide klæder og jeg vil aldrig slette hans navn af livets bog og jeg vil vedkende mig hans navn for min Fader og for hans engle. Den, som har øre, han høre, hvad Ånden siger til menighederne« Åb.3,1-6.
