Revelation 3:5

the same shall be clothed Read, shall thus be clothed. Perhaps the sense is not so much "thus, as I have promised to the holy remnant in Sardis," but "thus as I am now." The colour of Christ's priestly robe (Revelation 1:13) was not stated (and see Pseudo-Barnabas, there quoted) but we are probably to understand that it was white, cf. Daniel 7:9.

I will not blot out his name See Exodus 32:32 sq. (which it seems hard to tone down into meaning no more than 1 Kings 19:4: compare rather Romans 9:3), Psalms 69:29 (28) (which can more easily be taken in the milder sense), and Daniel 12:1. The image seems to be, that everyone on professing himself Christ's soldier and servant has his name entered in the Book of Life, as on an army list or census-roll of the kingdom. It remains there during the time of his probation or warfare, even if, while he has thus "a name that he liveth," he is dead in sin: but if he die the second death it will be blotted out if he overcome, it will remain for ever. See Revelation 20:12; Revelation 20:15.

I will confess A repetition of Matthew 10:32.
