New King James Version
The Time Is Near
6 Then he said to me, (A)“These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the [a]holy prophets (B)sent His angel to show His servants the things which must (C)shortly take place.
7 (D)“Behold, I am coming quickly! (E)Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 Now I, John, [b]saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, (F)I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
9 Then he said to me, (G)“See that you do not do that. [c]For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” 10 (H)And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, (I)for the time is at hand. 11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him [d]be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

6 And he said unto me, These words are faithful and true: and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show unto his [a]servants the things which must shortly come to pass. 7 And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I John am he that heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to [b]worship before the feet of the angel that showed me these things. 9 And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren the prophets, and with them that keep the words of this book: worship God.
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand. 11 He that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness [c]still: and he that is filthy, let him be made filthy [d]still: and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness [e]still: and he that is holy, let him be made holy [f]still.

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)
