Revelation 22:6-11
Christian Standard Bible
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)

International Standard Version
He is Coming Soon
6 He told me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord God of the spirits and of the prophets has sent his messenger[a] to show his servants the things that must happen soon.”
7 “See! I am coming soon! How blessed is the person who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book!”
The Vision of an Exhortation to Worship God
8 I, John, heard and saw these things. When I had heard and seen them, I bowed down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing me these things. 9 But he told me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you, your brothers the prophets, and those who keep the words in this book. Worship God!”
10 Then he told me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy in this book, because the time is near. 11 Let the one who does what is evil continue to do what is evil. Let the filthy person continue to be filthy. Let the righteous person continue to do what is right. And let the holy person continue to be holy.”
