20 Listen![a] I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home[b] and share a meal with him, and he with me. 21 I will grant the one[c] who conquers[d] permission[e] to sit with me on my throne, just as I too conquered[f] and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
