165. [verse 4] 'Thou hast a few names even in Sardis' signifies that among them there are those who do have life in their worship. By 'a few names' are signified some who are such, as now follows; for a 'name' signifies someone quality. This is because in the spiritual world each one is named in accordance with his own quality (n. 81). The quality of those who are now mentioned is that they may have life in their worship.
