6 And he said unto me, pThese sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the ppholy prophets qsent his angel qto shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. 7 rBehold, I come quickly: sblessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

8 And I tJohn saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, uI fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9 uThen saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. 10 And he saith unto me, vSeal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: wfor the time is at hand. 11 xHe that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and yhe that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, rzbehold, I come quickly; and amy reward is with me, bto give every man according as his work shall be. 13 cI am Alpha and Omega, cthe beginning and the end, dthe first and the last. 14 eBlessed are they that do his commandments, ethat they may have right to fthe tree of life, and gmay enter in through the hgates into the city. 15 For iwithout are kdogs, and lsorcerers, and lwhoremongers, and lmurderers, and lidolaters, and lwhosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

16 mI Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. nI am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and omorning pstar.
