1 My son, give attention to my wisdom; let your ear be turned to my teaching:
Let your ear be bent down for hearing my words, and let your heart give thought to knowledge.
My son, give attention to my words; let your ear be turned to my sayings.
Give ear, my sons, to the teaching of a father; give attention so that you may have knowledge:
And say not to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; because I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children for Abraham.
You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the secret manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name, of which no one has knowledge but he to whom it is given.
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
