Revelation 22:6-11
Legacy Standard Bible
6 And (A)he said to me, “(B)These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the (C)God of the spirits of the prophets, (D)sent His angel to show to His slaves the things which must soon take place.
7 “And behold, (E)I am coming quickly. (F)Blessed is he who keeps (G)the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 (H)I, John, am the one who was hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, (I)I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9 But (J)he *said to me, “[a]Do not do that! I am a (K)fellow slave with you and your brothers the prophets and with those who keep the words of (L)this book. Worship God!”
The Final Message: Come
10 And he *said to me, “(M)Do not seal up (N)the words of the prophecy of this book, (O)for the time is near. 11 (P)Let the one who does unrighteousness, still do unrighteousness; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still do righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy.”

Revelation 22:6-11
American Standard Version
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.
