Revelation 1:3

Blessed (happy, blessed) is the one who reads aloud
and those who listen to the words of prophecy,
and take hold of (keep, accept) what is written in it,
for the time is near.
[In New Testament times, people read aloud from the biblical Scriptures when they gathered for worship, see 2 Cor. 3:14. In other words, the early Christians listened to the Bible rather than read it. This is the first of seven "beatitudes" in the Book of Revelation. The others are Rev 14:13; 16:15; 19:9; 20:6; 22:7; 22:14.]
