^2 (A)Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten.

²⁶ If anyone thinks himself to be religious, yet does not ^[a](A)bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless. ²⁷ Pure and undefiled religion ^(B)in the sight of our God and Father is this: to ^(C)visit ^(D)orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained ^[b]by ^(E)the world.

⁴ But you have a few ^[a](A)people in ^(B)Sardis who have not ^(C)soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me ^(D)in white, for they are worthy.

¹⁵ (“Behold, ^(A)I am coming like a thief. ^(B)Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, ^(C)so that he will not walk about naked and people will not see his shame.”)
