Revelation 22:6-11
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
The Angel Says, These Words Are Trustworthy And True. I, John, Heard And Saw These Things
6 And he[a] said to me, “These words are trustworthy[b] and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits[c] of the prophets, sent-forth His angel[d] to show[e] His slaves the things which must take place quickly. 7 And behold— I[f] am coming quickly. Blessed is the one keeping the words of the prophecy of this book”. 8 And I, John, am the one hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell to worship[g] in front of the feet of the angel showing me these things. 9 And he says to me, “See that you not do it. I am a fellow-slave of you and of your brothers the prophets, and of the ones keeping the words of this book. Give-worship to God”.
Behold, I Am Coming Quickly To Render To Each His Due. Come, Take The Water of Life
10 And he[h] says to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11 Let the one doing-unrighteousness still do-unrighteousness. And let the filthy[i] one still be-filthy. And let the righteous one still do righteousness. And let the holy one still be made-holy.

- Revelation 22:6 That is, the angel speaking the words of Jesus to John.
- Revelation 22:6 Or, faithful.
- Revelation 22:6 That is, human spirits; or, spiritual gifts, as in 1 Cor 14:12.
- Revelation 22:6 That is, the one speaking here.
- Revelation 22:6 to show... quickly. Same phrase as in 1:1. This is the conclusion of the whole book.
- Revelation 22:7 As in 16:15, Christ interjects through the angel speaking for Him; or, Christ is speaking directly to John.
- Revelation 22:8 If the angel stated v 7 on behalf of the One who sent him (v 6), John’s confusion is understandable.
- Revelation 22:10 That is, the angel speaking Christ’s words here, as explained in v 6 and 16. Or, He, Christ Himself speaking. Likewise throughout this paragraph.
- Revelation 22:11 That is, morally filthy. The point of this verse is, Do what you are going to do. Make your choices in life. I will render to you according to your works.

John and the Angel
6 The angel said to me,(A) “These words are trustworthy and true.(B) The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets,(C) sent his angel(D) to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”
7 “Look, I am coming soon!(E) Blessed(F) is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”(G)
8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things.(H) And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet(I) of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9 But he said to me, “Don’t do that! 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)
10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up(L) the words of the prophecy of this scroll,(M) because the time is near.(N) 11 Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.”(O)
