NASB | Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 1:3 Blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and who keep the things which are written in it [heeding them and taking them to heart]; for the time [of fulfillment] is near. |
Bible Question (short): "Read and hear" or "read and understand" |
Question (full): Does the text here mean that one doesn't have to understand what is read? The text in English reads, "those who read and hear," it doesn't explicitly state, "those who read and understand." But is the latter a better translation than the former? |
