“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.”
Let anyone who has an ear to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches — to the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God — the formula "ear to hear" (ous echōn akouō) appears in all seven letters and echoes Jesus's pattern in the Gospels (Matthew 11:15; Mark 4:9). The promise of the tree of life (Genesis 2:9, 3:22) reverses the Fall, restoring paradise to the victorious faithful.
