# Sardis
This is the name of a city in the western part of Asia that today is modern Turkey. See how you translated this in [Revelation 1:11](../01/11.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]])

# You have a name that you are alive
The word "name" here is a metonym for a reputation. Alternate translation: "You have a reputation for being alive" or "People think that you are alive" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# alive ... dead
Obeying and honoring God is spoken of as being alive; disobeying and dishonoring him is spoken of as being dead. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
Obeying and honoring God is spoken of as being alive; disobeying and dishonoring him is spoken of as being dead.
