118.“圣灵向众教会所说的话，凡有耳的，就应当听”表圣言的神性真理所教导那些将属于新教会，就是新耶路撒冷之人的，凡理解的人，都应当遵守。这从前面的解释明显可知（87节）。
118. "'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'" (2:17) This symbolically means that anyone who understands these things, let him obey what the Divine truth of the Word teaches those who will be members of the New Church, which is the New Jerusalem.
This is apparent from the explanation in no. 87 above, where the same words occur.
118. [verse 17] 'He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches' signifies that he who understands those things obeys what the Divine Truth of the Word teaches those who will be of the New Church (e Nova Ecclesia) that is the New Jerusalem. This is plain from the things expounded above (87), where they are similar.
118. Verse 17. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches, signifies that he who understands these things, ought to obey what the Divine truth of the Word teaches those who will be of the New Church, which is the New Jerusalem, as appears above, (87), where similar words are explained.
118. (Vers. 17.) "Habens aurem audiat quid Spiritus dicit Ecclesiis. "Quod significet quod qui illa intelligit, obediat quae Divinum Verum Verbi docet illos qui e Nova Ecclesia, quae est Nova Hierosolyma, erunt, patet ab explicatis supra (87), ubi similia.
