He said to me, "See you do not do it. I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God."

10 Then he told me, “Don't seal up the words of prophecy of this book and keep them secret, for the time is near.

11 Whoever doesn't do what is right, let them stay that way. Whoever is impure, let them stay that way. Whoever does what is right, let them stay that way. Whoever is holy, let them stay that way.

He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still."

12 I am coming soon, and I am bringing my reward to give to everybody based on what they've done.

"Look, I am coming quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each person according to his work.
