<p class="bodytext">I<n id="1" /> turned to see whose voice was speaking to me,<n id="2" /> and when I did so,<n id="3" /> I saw seven golden lampstands,

<p class="poetry">(Look! I am coming soon,p> <p class="poetry">and my reward is with me to pay<n id="1" /> each one according to what he has done!p>

But you have a few individuals<n id="1" /> in Sardis who have not stained<n id="2" /> their clothes, and they will walk with me dressed<n id="3" /> in white, because they are worthy.

<p class="bodytext">The angel<n id="1" /> who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod with which to measure the city and its foundation stones and wall.

take my advice<n id="1" /> and buy gold from me refined by fire so you can become rich! Buy from me<n id="2" /> white clothing so you can be clothed and your shameful nakedness<n id="3" /> will not be exposed, and buy eye salve<n id="4" /> to put on your eyes so you can see!

Listen!<n id="1" /> I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home<n id="2" /> and share a meal with him, and he with me.

I will grant the one<n id="1" /> who conquers<n id="2" /> permission<n id="3" /> to sit with me on my throne, just as I too conquered<n id="4" /> and sat down with my Father on his throne.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke to me.<n id="2" /> &#8220;Come,&#8221; he said, &#8220;I will show you the condemnation and punishment<n id="3" /> of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,

<t /><p class="bodytext">After these things I looked, and there was<n id="1" /> a door standing open in heaven!<n id="2" /> And the first voice I had heard speaking to me<n id="3" /> like a trumpet<n id="4" /> said: &#8220;Come up here so that<n id="5" /> I can show you what must happen after these things.&#8221;

Then<n id="1" /> the voice I had heard from heaven began to speak<n id="2" /> to me<n id="3" /> again,<n id="4" /> &#8220;Go and take the open<n id="5" /> scroll in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and spoke to me,<n id="2" /> saying, &#8220;Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb!&#8221;
