Revelation 22:6-11
New American 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 His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.
7 “And behold, (E)I am coming quickly. (F)Blessed is the one who [a]keeps (G)the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 (H)I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, (I)I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9 And (J)he *said to me, “[b]Do not do that; I am a (K)fellow servant of yours and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who [c]keep the words of (L)this book. Worship God!”
The Final Message
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 wrong still do wrong, and the one who is filthy still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous still practice righteousness, and the one who is holy still keep himself holy.”

Revelation 22:6-11
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.”
