Revelation 3:4 Context
2Be watchfull, and strengthen the things which remaine, that are ready to die: for I haue not found thy works perfect before God. 3Remember therefore, how thou hast receiued and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thiefe, and thou shalt not know what houre I will come vpon thee. 4Thou hast a few names euen in Sardis, which haue not defiled their garments, and they shall walke with me in white: for they are worthy. 5Hee that ouercommeth, the same shalbe clothed in white raiment, and I will not blot out his name out of the booke of life, but I will confesse his name before my Father, and before his Angels. 6Hee that hath an eare, let him heare what the Spirit saith vnto the Churches.

Wesley's Notes for Revelation 3:4
3:4 Yet thou hast a few names - That is, persons. But though few, they had not separated themselves from the rest; otherwise, the angel of Sardis would not have had them. Yet it was no virtue of his, that they were unspotted; whereas it was his fault that they were but few. Who have not defiled their garments - Either by spotting themselves, or by partaking of other men's sins. They shall walk with me in white - in joy; in perfect holiness; in glory. They are worthy - A few good among many bad are doubly acceptable to God. O how much happier is this worthiness than that mentioned, #Rev 16:6|.
