Fine linen, bright and clean, was given to her to wear.” Fine linen stands for the right things that God’s holy people do.

Your troubles have come in order to prove that your faith is real. Your faith is worth more than gold. That’s because gold can pass away even when fire has made it pure. Your faith is meant to bring praise, honor and glory to God. This will happen when Jesus Christ returns.

My dear brothers and sisters, listen to me. Hasn’t God chosen those who are poor in the world’s eyes to be rich in faith? Hasn’t he chosen them to receive the kingdom? Hasn’t he promised it to those who love him?

I will guide you and teach you the way you should go. I will give you good advice and watch over you with love.

After he said this, he spit on the ground. He made some mud with the spit. Then he put the mud on the man’s eyes.“ Go,” he told him.“ Wash in the Pool of Siloam.” Siloam means Sent. So the man went and washed. And he came home able to see.His neighbors and people who had seen him earlier begging asked questions.“ Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” they asked.Some claimed that he was. Others said,“ No. He only looks like him.” But the man who had been blind kept saying,“ I am the man.”“ Then how were your eyes opened?” they asked.He replied,“ The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed. Then I could see.”

‘ But you have a few people in Sardis who are pure. They aren’t covered with evil like dirty clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, because they are worthy.Here is what I will do for anyone who has victory over sin. I will dress that person in white like those worthy people. I will never erase their names from the book of life. I will speak of them by name to my Father and his angels.

Buy the truth and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, instruction and understanding as well.

You turn away from all my advice. And you do not accept my warning.

You have received the Spirit from the Holy One. And all of you know the truth.I’m not writing to you because you don’t know the truth. I’m writing because you do know it. I’m writing to you because no lie comes from the truth.Who is the liar? It is anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. The person who says this is the great enemy of Christ. They say no to the Father and the Son.The person who says no to the Son doesn’t belong to the Father. But anyone who says yes to the Son belongs to the Father also.Make sure that you don’t forget what you have heard from the beginning. Then you will remain joined to the Son and to the Father.And here is what God has promised us. He has promised us eternal life.I’m writing these things to warn you. I am warning you about people trying to lead you astray.But you have received the Holy Spirit from God. He continues to live in you. So you don’t need anyone to teach you. God’s Spirit teaches you about everything. What he says is true. He doesn’t lie. Remain joined to Christ, just as you have been taught by the Spirit.

You wouldn’t accept my advice. You turned your backs on my warnings.

Then we will not be naked.

Command the rich to do what is good. Tell them to be rich in doing good things. They must give freely. They must be willing to share.
