7 “And behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 And I, John, am the one who heard and who saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed these things to me.
9 And he said to me, “Do not do that! I am your fellow slave, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”
10 And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near!
11 The one who does evil, let him do evil still, and the defiled, let him be defiled still, and the righteous, let him practice righteousness still, and the holy, let him be holy still.”
12 “Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to repay each one according to what his deeds are!
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
