And if the ear says, "Since I am not an eye, I am not part of the body," it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.

It is written in the law: "By people with strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, yet not even in this way will they listen to me," says the Lord.

But when he again brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him!"

The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give him some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on that stone will be written a new name that no one can understand except the one who receives it.'

The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'

The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'

The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'

The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'"
