{How ye hear} (p(9373) akouete). The manner of hearing.  Mr
4:24  has "what ye hear" (	i akouete), the matter that is
heard. Both are supremely important. Some things should not be
heard at all. Some that are heard should be forgotten. Others
should be treasured and practised. {For whosoever hath} (Hos an
gar ech(8869)). Present active subjunctive of the common verb ech(935c)
which may mean "keep on having" or "acquiring." See on 烘r 4:25|
for discussion. {Thinketh he hath} (dokei echein), or {seems to
acquire or to hold}. Losses in business illustrate this saying as
when we see their riches take wings and fly away. So it is with
hearing and heeding. Self-deception is a common complaint.
