Revelation 22:6-21 MKJV (6) And he said to me, These sayings are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show to His servants the things which must shortly be done. (7) Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the prophecy of this Book. (8) And I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel showing me these things. (9) Then he said to me, Behold! See, do not do it! For I am your fellow-servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the Words of this Book. Do worship to God. (10) And he said to me, Do not seal the Words of the prophecy of this Book; for the time is at hand. (11) He acting unjustly, let him still act unjustly. And the filthy, let him be filthy still. And the righteous, let him be righteous still. And the holy, let him be holy still. (12) And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each according as his work is. (13) I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last. (14) Blessed are they who do His commandments, that their authority will be over the Tree of Life, and they may enter in by the gates into the city. (15) But outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and makes a lie. (16) I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify these things to you over the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and Morning Star. (17) And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let the one hearing say, Come! And let the one who is thirsty come. And he willing, let him take of the Water of Life freely. (18) For I testify together to everyone who hears the Words of the prophecy of this Book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add on him the plagues that have been written in this Book. (19) And if anyone takes away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, God will take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which have been written in this Book. (20) He who testifies these things says, Yes, I am coming quickly, Amen. Yes, come, Lord Jesus. (21) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. Amen.

Revelation 22:6-21 ALT
(6) And he says to me, "These words [are] trustworthy and true, and [the] Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent His angel to show to His slaves what [things are] necessary to occur with quickness. (7) "listen! I am coming quickly! Happy [is] the one keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll." (8) And I, John, [am] the one hearing and seeing these [things]. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to prostrate myself in worship before the feet of the angel, the one showing these [things] to me. (9) And he says to me, "See [that you do] not! I am a fellow-slave of you and of your brothers the prophets and of the ones keeping the words of this scroll. Prostrate yourself in worship before God!" (10) And he says to me, "Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, the time is near.

(20) The One testifying to these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly!" So be it! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus! (21) The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with all the holy ones. So be it!

Revelation 22:6-21 BBE
(6) And he said to me, These words are certain and true: and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to make clear to his servants the things which are now to come about. (7) See, I come quickly. A blessing on him who keeps the words of this book of the prophet. (8) And I, John, am he who saw these things and to whose ears they came. And when I had seen and given ear, I went down on my face to give worship at the feet of the angel who made these things clear to me. (9) And he said to me, See you do it not; I am a brother-servant with you and with your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book: give worship to God. (10) And he said to me, Let not the words of this prophet's book be kept secret, because the time is near. (11) Let the evil man go on in his evil: and let the unclean be still unclean: and let the upright go on in his righteousness: and let the holy be holy still. (12) See, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man the outcome of his works. (13) I am the First and the Last, the start and the end. (14) A blessing on those whose robes are washed, so that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may go in by the doors into the town. (15) Outside are the dogs, and those who make use of evil powers, those who make themselves unclean, and the takers of life, and those who give worship to images, and everyone whose delight is in what is false. (16) I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give witness to you of these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star. (17) And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who gives ear, say, Come. And let him who is in need come; and let everyone desiring it take of the water of life freely. (18) For I say to every man to whose ears have come the words of this prophet's book, If any man makes an addition to them, God will put on him the punishments which are in this book: (19) And if any man takes away from the words of this book, God will take away from him his part in the tree of life and the holy town, even the things which are in this book. (20) He who gives witness to these things says, Truly, I come quickly. Even so come, Lord Jesus. (21) The grace of the Lord Jesus be with the saints. So be it.
