There is no such thing as 'reads aloud' in the KJV, neither is it in the original Greek manuscripts. You quote from your church approved translation the ESV. Sonship does the same and so do the JWs. You people all have your own version of Gods Word to which additional words designed alter the meaning have been inserted into the bible.
That alone is a grave error and a sin ...[text shortened]... things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: (Revelation 22:18 KJV)[/i]
Revelation 1 King James Version (KJV)
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
It isn't just the ESV, and you can look to several versions not just the KJV and explain how those that hear are not having it read to them.
