1.2 KiB

Let the one who has an ear, hear

Jesus is emphasizing that what he has just said is important and may take some effort to understand and put into practice. The phrase "has an ear" here is a metonym for the willingness to understand and obey. See how you translated this phrase in Revelation 2:7. Alternate translation: "Let the one who is willing to listen, listen to" or "The one who is willing to understand, let him understand and obey" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)

Let the one ... hear

Since Jesus is speaking directly to his audience, you may prefer to use the second person here. See how you translated this phrase in Revelation 2:7. Alternate translation: "If you are willing to listen, listen to" or "If you are willing to understand, then understand and obey" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person)

The one who conquers

This refers to anyone who conquers. See how you translated this in Revelation 2:7. Alternate translation: "Anyone who resists evil" or "Those who do not agree to do evil" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-genericnoun)

will not be hurt by the second death

"will not experience the second death" or "will not die a second time"
