7 a“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give bto eat from cthe tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’

8 “And to the1 angel of the church in Smyrna write, ‘These things says athe First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life:
