Revelation 3

Letters from Christ to the churches in Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea: Sardis is warned as spiritually dead despite appearing alive and urged to wake up; Philadelphia is commended for endurance and promised an open door; Laodicea is rebuked as lukewarm and self-satisfied, facing rejection unless repentant.[3][2]
