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)
