The Time Is Near
6 Then he said to me, “These words are faithful[a] and true.(A) The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets,[b] has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”(B)
7 “Look, I am coming soon!(C) Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”(D)
8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown them to me. 9 But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you, your brothers the prophets, and those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!” (E)
10 Then he said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near.(F) 11 Let the unrighteous go on in unrighteousness; let the filthy still be filthy; let the righteous go on in righteousness; let the holy still be holy.”(G)

The Time of Fulfillment is Near
6 And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true, and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his slaves the things which must take place in a short time.”
7 “And behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 And I, John, am the one who heard and who saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed these things to me. 9 And he said to me, “Do not do that![a] I am your fellow slave, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!” 10 And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near! 11 The one who does evil, let him do evil still, and the defiled, let him be defiled still, and the righteous, let him practice righteousness still, and the holy, let him be holy still.”

I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll.(J) Worship God!”(K)
