Revelation 22:6-11
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
The Angel Says, These Words Are Trustworthy And True. I, John, Heard And Saw These Things
6 And he[a] said to me, “These words are trustworthy[b] and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits[c] of the prophets, sent-forth His angel[d] to show[e] His slaves the things which must take place quickly. 7 And behold— I[f] am coming quickly. Blessed is the one keeping the words of the prophecy of this book”. 8 And I, John, am the one hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell to worship[g] in front of the feet of the angel showing me these things. 9 And he says to me, “See that you not do it. I am a fellow-slave of you and of your brothers the prophets, and of the ones keeping the words of this book. Give-worship to God”.
Behold, I Am Coming Quickly To Render To Each His Due. Come, Take The Water of Life
10 And he[h] says to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11 Let the one doing-unrighteousness still do-unrighteousness. And let the filthy[i] one still be-filthy. And let the righteous one still do righteousness. And let the holy one still be made-holy.

- Revelation 22:6 That is, the one speaking here.
- Revelation 22:6 to show... quickly. Same phrase as in 1:1. This is the conclusion of the whole book.
- Revelation 22:7 As in 16:15, Christ interjects through the angel speaking for Him; or, Christ is speaking directly to John.
- Revelation 22:8 If the angel stated v 7 on behalf of the One who sent him (v 6), John’s confusion is understandable.
- Revelation 22:10 That is, the angel speaking Christ’s words here, as explained in v 6 and 16. Or, He, Christ Himself speaking. Likewise throughout this paragraph.
- Revelation 22:11 That is, morally filthy. The point of this verse is, Do what you are going to do. Make your choices in life. I will render to you according to your works.
