He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.

KJV with Strongs

(17) The one having an ear, hear, what The רוּחַ Ruach says to the assembly-churches. The one conquering, to them I will give of the hidden manna and I will give them a bright-white voting-stone and a new name written upon the voting-stone which nobody knows but the one receiving.

The F.O.G
[17] Let everyone who has ears listen carefully to what the Spirit is saying to the communities of believers. To the one who conquers, I will give the hidden manna. I will also give them a white stone with a new name inscribed on it - known only to the one who receives it.
The F.O.G Paraphrase

He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving it.
