7. “Listen! I am coming soon! He who obeys the words of prophecy in this book will be happy.”
8. I am John. I am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw them, I bowed down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed these things to me.
9. But the angel said to me, “Do not worship me! I am a servant like you and your brothers the prophets. I am a servant like all those who obey the words in this book. Worship God!”
10. Then the angel told me, “Do not keep secret the words of prophecy in this book. The time is near for all this to happen.
11. Whoever is doing evil, let him continue to do evil. Whoever is unclean, let him continue to be unclean. Whoever is doing right, let him continue to do right. Whoever is holy, let him continue to be holy.”
