Accordingly, Jesus encouraged those in Sardis ​ — and by extension all who would later read his words — ​ to prove their first love for Christian truth and to be awake spiritually.
Niisiis ergutas Jeesus sardeslasi – ja laiemalt võttes kõiki, kes hiljem tema sõnu loevad – tõendama oma esimest armastust kristliku tõe vastu ning püsima vaimselt ärksad.
