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.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 2 of Revelation. The message to Ephesus recognizes its works, labor, perseverance, and doctrinal discernment, especially its rejection of those who claim to be apostles but are not. However, the community has abandoned its first love. The exhortation to remember, repent, and return to its first works shows that doctrinal faithfulness does not replace the love that should characterize the life of the church. The call to hear what the Spirit says and the promise of the tree of life connect this church’s perseverance with the final hope of the book.

Wer Ohren hat, der höre, was der Geist den Gemeinden sagt: Wer überwindet, dem will ich zu essen geben vom Holz des Lebens, das im Paradies Gottes ist.
El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. Al que venciere, daré a comer del árbol de la vida, el cual está en medio del paraíso de Dios.
El que tenga oído, que escuche lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias. Al que venza le daré a comer del árbol de la vida, que está en el paraíso de Dios».
Que celui qui a des oreilles entende ce que l'Esprit dit aux Eglises: A celui qui vaincra je donnerai à manger de l'arbre de vie, qui est dans le paradis de Dieu.
Chi ha orecchio ascolti ciò che lo Spirito dice alle chiese: A chi vince io darò a mangiare dell’albero della vita, che è in mezzo del paradiso dell’Iddio mio
Quem tem ouvidos, ouça o que o Espírito diz às igrejas: Ao que vencer, dar-lhe-ei a comer da árvore da vida, que está no meio do paraíso de Deus.
凡有耳朵的都應當聽聖靈向眾教會所說的話。得勝的,我必將上帝樂園中生命樹的果子賜給他吃。』」
