Revelation 22:6-11

New International Reader's Version

John and the Angel

⁶ The angel said to me, “You can trust these words. They are true. The Lord is the God who gives messages to the prophets. He sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”

⁷ “Look! I am coming soon! Words of prophecy are written in this book. Blessed is the person who obeys them.”

⁸ I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. After that, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel. He is the one who had been showing me these things. ⁹ But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I serve God, just as you do. I am God’s servant, just like the other prophets. And I serve God along with all who obey the words of this book. Worship God!”

¹⁰ Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy in this book. These things are about to happen. ¹¹ Let the person who does wrong keep on doing wrong. Let the evil person continue to be evil. Let the person who does right keep on doing what is right. And let the holy person continue to be holy.”
